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.

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

    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
