I'm interested to know how you go about finding good contacts/brokers in America and Europe etc. The dollar is making stuff in England and America damn attractive at the moment.

I'm interested to know how I go about getting a car from a seller to the docks. Get a proper pre-purchase inspection done etc.

I guess it's not the same as Japan as most cars aren't sold at auction.

I want to know how when I'm looking on Hemmings or autotrader, how I get that car; there's always one that's easily the best value.

I've always wanted a first gen Thunderbird and never been anywhere near affording one until now. Some great muscle cars too. Good alternaitves to being defected.

In the UK, I'm really liking the super affordable TVRs and Lotuses (Loti? haha). I could so do a Tuscan :P I've checked, no one does compliance for them. Is there anyway possible to import one without eating chips in hamburgers for 12 months? A cheap Griffith, Elise or Espirt might get my money too.

well it is much the same as japan except a bit easier as people in the US and the UK speak a rough approximation of english.

you either need a broker/agent here who has contacts there. or you need to find an exporter in that country who buys cars for customers overseas. how to get one you can trust is a lottery so with that in mind it may be worth instead hooking up with a broker/agent here who has some experience and has established a reliable connection overseas.

    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
