J-Spec

Is J-Spec.com all legit?

Also; how do the auctions on there work and do the cars take long to be delivered?

[Longz]

^ Yes they are

Auctions run very fast and you need to tell them your maximum bid,

Delivery expect 1 month.

[Albus]

Ahk. I've found they are Exceptionally cheap. How do auctions work thought, what if I want to keep bidding or whatever? Also is there anyway to contact the seller and make a solid deal?

[Longz]

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

[Cherry Racer]

Have a chat to J Spec or Iron Chef about how much the cars go for, starting price is irrelevant.

Generally speaking from when the car is bought to when you can pick it up complied is around 3 months, give or take.

just won a r33 GTR v-spec through J-spec 2 weeks ago at auctions and is at the docks in japan if not on its way as we speak! if you wana know anything happy to help. message me if ya want. J-spec has done well with what i got and would recommend talking to Ben there, he wont stuff you round or rip you off!!

[maclarenf1]

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...

[Longz]

^ no our yen went shithole recently its like sitting at 95 compared to 100+

[vspecIInur]

better than 80 odd when I imported my gtr nur . Paid top dollar

[Cherry Racer]

I was about to say the same thing.

Got a bike 7 months ago when it was at 80.

95 is pretty damn good.

[smidy]

got 99.38 the other day when i paid for mine. $17,910 FOB for a midnight purple Gtr V-spec with less than 40,000km

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?

[djvoodoo]

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

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.

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

[C4a0s]

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

[Cherry Racer]

Removing the turbos should be ok as long as you can get a polarizer. They were used on some Brock commodores in the 80's.
