Hey guys im new to the forums and would really like to know how much on average an r33 gtr v spec goes for in a jap auction so i can start saving up some money also i didnt really want to ask someone like edward lees because they will probally boost the price up as much as you boys like jacking up the boost :)

any helps would be much appreciated Liam

At auction in japan they can be as cheap as 500,000yen average price for the one you want would be 800,000yen - 1,000,000yen

email me directly if you require and further information about landed complied prices

regards, Phil

You mentioned a particular car dealer in your thread.
The overheads for a dealer include rent, electricity, water, salesman wage, detailer wage, web designer wage, admin wage, signwriter, posters, advertising flags, their super, mobile phone bill, landline bill, insurance on damage, public liability insurance etc and that's before the dealer's take home pay.
The buyers of all his cars will be paying for all that!
Now, what you're asking is, "Is there a way that I can buy an import and escape most of the costs of above?"
Well of course you can; but talk to a reputable importer on SAU and cross reference with those you see in Performance Imports Mag etc

thanks heaps guys you have been very helpfull and i will probaly be looking at one at grade 3 to 4 also terry_gt-r34 i under stand all of your points and they are very valid and the whole reason for then to be an importer is to make money so i understand the importance of them needing to charge more for their cars :)

Theres charging more for their cars.. and then theres plain ripping people off, winding back kilometres and bringing over previous wreck cars and selling them as mint low kilometer cars is just plain wrong.. sad that most import dealerships have succumb to this.. not naming any places or accusing anyone.. just saying

    • I'm at the point of seriously starting a project to build and Arduino/mc (of some sort) based multigauge to go in the console where triple gauges normally sit. I have found a screen of the right dimensions. I would need to 3D print a bezel/housing to make it mount up pretty. That's doable. I would need to come up with interfacing circuitry for the EGT thermocouple. I'm sure there will be examples of that into Arduino out there somewhere. Ditto with characterising the output of the existing boost gauge's MAP sensor and the oil T gauge's thermistor. And then, because it is a screen, it can be controllable, so it can show more than the 3 gauges I currently have. So I can come up with a list of other things I want to be able to show on it that can be reasonably easily handled via an Arduino's inputs. I do not need this project. But the stepper gauges I'm using are giving me grief. It's time to come kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
    • Would you really prefer pillar gauges over something like this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-067010-haltech-ic-7-digital-dash-kit/ Or if you can spend more, this? https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-068000-haltech-uc-10/ I could write a thesis about how much better a modern dash is compared to a series of gauges. 
    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
