Dude, the Japanese car auctions have nothing to do with Yahoo auctions and are not internet based. You would be best off looking into the Prestige Motorsport or J-Spec websites for more information.

as mentioned before, you can't access auction houses like USS etc unless you have an agent in japan, or you have a registered business and a postal address in japan.

Best bet would be to check out the websites mentioned above. Another option, if all you're after is past auction data (so you can see what things sold for etc so you know what's a good price to bid at the jap auctions) is to head over to http://english.auto.vl.ru/auctions and check out their past auction histroy.

I'm working on a similar system atm for J-Spec using all their auction accesses (which should update sooner and be more indepth with stats analysers and comparators, and the data is kept for longer too), which should be ready soon. Also stay tuned for more tools and options. :D hope I can finish em soon, coz these guys are keen as to launch em.

how do you view starting prices on j-spec? Isn't it the same deal with j-spec? I remember searches and more info are only available to members... At least on meisei you get to view more than just a little thumbnail of only the front of each car. They have higher res pics of both the front and back.

meh... i like their site. It's better than any other one I've seen.

yeah i know jspec don't show it either, but I thought what Essential was after were prices that cars sold for in the auctions to get a feel of how much a car cost to buy in japan. Which is why I suggested that russian one as they list 2 day old auction data with their closing prices and if it sold, or passed in etc.

Although that price won't include transport from the auction house to the port of departure, degassing, deregistration if it needs to be done, agent fee etc. ie its not the FOB value.

handy translation site for the japanese is http://www.systranet.com/systran/net

note you may have troubles if ur browser is a bit wacky and switches between displaying the squares for the japense, and weird ascii instead. u need the former for the translator to work well.

j-spec get a fair few of their mailing list cars from the yahoo auctions, so its good to keep an eye on them, even if its just to see whats available.

Both J-Spec and Prestige fill the majority of their email list with cars from Yahoo.

We can all thank Mr Monkeh for finally getting the pop-up pictures on j-spec working with browsers other than IE.

on it already... trying to get a watermark system as well.

With the jspec mailouts, they contain yahoo cars, auction cars that the guys think are cool (did anyone see the F1 car that I chucked in there :)) and ones thru their private suppliers. In the next week or so, my customised mailout system should be ready to go so you'll get more cars that you wanna see. Also the dealer car system is 2 steps away from ready (puttin the final touches on the translation system that I just made :D). We've been populating the database with cars from dealers around japan. ATM we're lookin at 78,000 cars :D :D :D

Also since a lot of people are put off by the thumbnail only view for non members, we've decided to give people a limited preview of the full system to let em see a sample of what they get.

Stay tuned

it will translate it all for you, including while you browse, i have tried doing what you are going to, i recomend you just save and buy one that is already here, it is way too risky and to be honest is a huge headf***. I dont trust any of the companies setup here in aus either!! too many bad experiences.

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 😉
