Hi everyone :)

Many moons ago; certain websites used to offer a free browsing service of the USS japan auctions.. and other auction sites. this is a 2012 current modern database of how to browse cars eligible for import.

www.directimported.com used to offer a link which enabled free browsing of the auctions, but whichever provider they were feeding it through ceased the service at some stage in 2011 I believe..

which was unfortunate.

Then I was using www.japaneseusedcars.com to browse free auctions... however about a fortnight ago they also have stopped their viewing service

So far the only ones left i know of that offer a free auction viewing service are:

www.J-Spec.com.au

and

www.importmonster.com.au

is there any other ways to view the USS auctions at all? lets build up a knowledge base :)

Gossip Row.

i will continue to supply Auction access with results to any Paid brokers service free of charge if the customer requests.

It is unfortunate that many avail places are stopping service but in most cases it is a paid service each company has to pay subscription services to. if you are serious to buying cars most people who want your business will supply the information readily.

Yes, I definitely see what you're saying, Phil.. however (this is just my personal experience) we as customers receive emails providing:

a list of today's V36 Skylines, because that what the customer has told their broker that's what they want (for example)

however a customer like myself likes to BROWSE and i mean dig in the deep dank dirty crates...

for example today on J-spec i've seen a GX71 Mark2 with custom 2 tone paint in shakotan / vip style, an X60 Cresta as Garuchan, an S120 Toyota crown lowered with low km grade 4 which looks to be built by charge speed.. (i think)

Cars like this - I wouldnt expect my broker to find and frankly with something so personal as buying an "old heap of shit" I like to just "shop" for them...

I wouldn't expect my import broker to find me say: a 430 Cedric Gloria hotrod with glitter paint.. etc etc..

this is why i like to browse myself...

do any brokers offer a service where we as a customer shell out a fee to just browse auctions? cos I'd be *really* down for that..

and many of my friends would as well..

i love browsing and would consider importing a car like:

I would be looking for a car like this to add to my collection potentially, but as I said, I couldn't expect my broker to scour the USS auctions all day finding my a shakotan kyusha. or garuchan or kaido racer etc..

do you offer that browsing function as a service?

(FYI the attached image is a S120 Crown, with aero kit, with BBS RS, with aero sunroof spoiler, with rain diffusers, these parts are REALLY rare finds.)

(its also grade 4 and 6x,xxx km - a guy like me would GLADLY import that!!)

also - the above examples are all cars i've found whilst trying to find my dad a good 30 soarer to replace his one that sadly got stolen and smashed... again.. I'm chasing a very very very particular *kind* of soarer with particular trim level etc etc - i wouldn't expect my broker to spend all day scouring to see in the off chance that my dad's dream car will pop up for sale... where as I make a hobby out of it.

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
