powervehicles.com is run by english couple Andy and his misso (think thats their names I'm hopeless with names) and run the drift camps at Ebisu circuit.

They are top people and have very good contacts and have a strong association with the Team Orange drift performance team. They help a lot of people going to Japan to buy cars for the drift matsuri's and do a lot of imports and get some shit hot cars.

I'd personally have no issues using them for sending or sourcing a special vehicle and I am in no way affiliated with them.

Met them a couple of times and was impressed with their set up at Ebisu.

Yeah it's Andy and his partner Emily, and they are Scottish... (like me)

I was over in Japan a few years back and met them at Ebisu. Really nice couple and they do have a shit load of nice cars. They helped one of my mates who I was traveling with at the time buy a monster FC RX-7 so I'm pretty sure they would be more than helpful in sourcing a car for you.

how much roughly would it be to land her a R32 GTR. doesnt have to be perfect paint or interior.

Can have some fruit would be nice.

No HUGE amounts of rust.

Will be tracked only.

Just a rough guide would be good

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
