Yahoo Auctions Translated

Yahoo Auctions Link

What happened to that interface thing where you could choose what parts you want for what car and it directs you straight to yahoo auctions with results....?

unless im doing something wrong this only translates the opening page. the minute you type in r33 for example and hit search it goes back to japenese.

your not doing anything wrong it just aint that helpful ey....there used to be this tool/interface somewhere here with drop down box menu of all parts for all skylines etc......cant find it anymore but it was very helpful.

Thanks for the recommendations fellas. If anyone ever needs any help getting around our site or Yahoo Japan, please drop me a line via PM or even better, to support AT importmonster.com.au :D

Also worth mentioning that we can source from the usual array of Japanese shops and new parts suppliers. Just need a link to what you want and we can organise it ;)

Hi.

I have been using www.isicar.com for car auction and yahoo purchases for many years. You can look at cars coming up for auction each day and yahoo is in english. The only thing is you must have money in your account with them before bidding. Have a look they are lovely people to deal with. Have never had an issue with them.

One more thing to consider an Australian buying site cannot buy direct from the japanese seller as most sellers state will not ship overseas so there would be a middleman in Japan buying for the overseas operation- result two fees- Japan and overseas operation. With isibike you only deal with them.

Can't seem to get this to work...?

sorry try inserting this one i thought it looked not right

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...ir=ja|en&u=

if you use search in yahoo japan though, dont translate the search results... browse through in japanese and when you find something you like open it in a new page and translate that... i just tried the link above and it worked for me three times... search initially in english once you find what you are looking for find the japanese translation of the word (it comes up if you hover the mouse over the word for a while), cut and paste that in your search field and it will broaden your search

hope this helps

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
