Any idea what is a normal time frame from auction to delivery?

It rests so much on luck, I am sure people can tell you how long they waited, anywhere from 8 weeks to 5 - 6 months if things go slightly wrong...

Really depends on a lot of unrelated variables falling into place and a lot of different people doing their jobs along the way... From when you buy, when paper work is organised in Japan, when the next ship sales (and your car can actually get on that ship, see previous point), how lucky you are getting through customs, how busy the compliance shop is... Most of it is out of your hands so it's all luck and using the right people along the way as far as timing goes.

Example: I purchased my Stagea on the 26th of Jan this year and it is still sitting on the docks in JP, it should be on a boat on the 18th of March, whoohoo! that's only 2 weeks away!!!

Cheers

I AM SHE finished working on my car today. so just have to wait until the compliance plate gets back from canberra and its ready to go.

...although i still have to wait to get my front bar fixed (apparently it has six cracks in it) which is costing me $550 plus getting it painted on top of that :(

...some pics of the front bar

Bugger. Can this sort of thing be covered by insurance?

If it was on a Kiwi Car Carriers ship then it "should" be covered. If it wasn't like that when they loaded it and it was damaged either loading or unloading then it "should" be covered under their policy, I was having a read through their site yesterday after the damage was mentioned. There is an Excess attached which is not quoted so that could be more than the cost of the repair, worth looking into of course.

yeah hopefully i can get reimbursed, i gave SEAWAY a call (they organise a bit of the transport stuff) and sent one of the ladies there an email with photos of before and after the front bar was smashed. i'll find out tomorrow what is happening when i get a call from SEAWAY

from what ive heard, you cant have anything in the car when it is getting transported...is this true?

That is generally when shipping form Japan

You just can not trust the doggy shipping companies

You should be fine in Aus, just make sure it is listed on the transport documents as contents in vehicle

Just check with TOLL or TNT

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
