Cheap because it's only the starting bid and the reserve price. Auction's quiet simple reserve price up > Highest bidder wins like any other auction. Your agent will be doing all this on your behalf, Solid deals can perhaps made through a private seller or dealership.

Correct me if i am wrong to the pros out there :yucky:

i imported 2 cars from J-Spec (V35 and a R34 GTR V-Spec) both were under budget and top notch.

the whole process from winning to You in the car took me about 2.5 months for the V35, 4 months for R34 due to being Christmas and heap of modifications on the car from Jap.

Ben is always nice to deal with and prompt.

with the Yen as it is, nice time to import, i have to say...

What Is

1 Fob compared to 1 AUD?

Note: Dumb Question; If I was to take the turbs out of a GTR R34 6SPD Manual would the car run like an N/A or would it loose compression and be a total shitbox?

Hahahahahahaahhahah.

Post has teh Lolz.

Wouldn't be a p plater would you buddy? Or on your Ls?

1FOB is roughly 0.56 AUD. close enough.

Gtr will run like poo and you will lose to VN commodores.

For te lulz.

re-read the post and it made me think.... Who in their sane mind would pay 40-50K for an R34GTR and remove the turbos!

Oh and OP, you were on the Jspec site... Did you bother reading the Jspec Infobase, which provides you answers to all of your questions? Just a thought.....

Better off buying a VN Commodore and driving that until you have full license.

FOB= Free On Board. It is the cost of the car plus your agent costs of getting the car onto the boat in Japan.

So, the car may cost you 5000 yen, plus FOB charge of 1000 yen = 6000 yen FOB

actually i think the F means Freight... but then again... why cant they just say inland shipping or something thats easier to understand :/

that would be sacrilegious ..... dont do it!!!!!!!

a turbo car has lower compression because of the turbos compressing air into the engine so if u take out the turbos it would run rich with not enough air pressure in each cylinder to give the power thats supposed to come from a RB26

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
