last time I checked an RB30ET engine (exported from australia) cost about $3000 in japan. I was considering contacting one of the guys on GTROC JP looking for one and offering to swap a RB30ET for his RB26DETT.

but you get that in today's crazy world.

Quite possibly. After all, Holdens are sold brand new in Japan (I doubt they would sell many though).

Don't believe me? Check out the Holden Japan site.

yeah I rememebr that one, saying that there was a time before the importing craze/hype that most people needed to PAY MONEY for wreckers to take their cars for recycling. Space being a premium the wreckers couldnt obviously take everything and the japanese people being so nice and environmentally conscious didnt want to dump them into the ocean (or something) so they would just leave them outside the wreckers in the middle of the night with the keys in them and piss off.

But now the market is such that that would never be the case again.
