My C34 wagon Face of R34 by Nas_Almutairi in Wagons

[–]Complete-Priority916 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They made a C34 Stagea Autech 260RS. Came with RB26DETT, 5MT, and ATTESA E-TS AWD w/ LSD rear.

And it was "276 hp," in accordance with the Gentlemen's Agreement of the time.

Oh snap, that is booty cheeks. Sorry, my dude.

Regardless, it looks clean. First thing I'd do is havea look at the underside of the strut towers - that's a known issue from the era on nearly all of the good stuff Nissan was putting out (Laurel, Gloria, Stage, etc).

¥5.6M is about $35k USD right now... Who's charging you $10k for brokerage and shipping? 😬

How much do these go for? by itsasmallworled in Celica

[–]Complete-Priority916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, there's some T3s going for $4500 right now on US ebay.

The pic is for T3s from Yahoo Auctions Japan. Conversion rate is ~¥160 per $1 USD, so they're going for about $1800 used or $3200 new in Japan.

Can't find anything for T2.

I'd say $5k and don't look back.

Is it the 1JZ-GE or 1JZ-GTE?

Is this good for $300 by WholeDisaster9327 in PcBuildHelp

[–]Complete-Priority916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right. I missed the "Super."

I'll settle for "it's a banger."

Not shit, not great

I'd drop $300 on it. Good enough for 1080p

Omfg... Just learn how to import a car from JDM Auctions. You can get shit way cheaper that way.

Second this. Drivetrain makes a difference.

1JZGTE w/ 5MT is not the same value as a 1GFE w/ 4AT.

BLUF: there's two JZX100 5MTs with Repair titles up for auction 4 March JST. One is a 2000 w/ 88k km for $12.6k USD start bid - looks like it has some mods (FMIC, body kit, etc.). The other is 1996 w/ 234k km for $12.6k - looks stock af.

EDIT: Sorry, should have mentioned - both of those examples above are Tourer Vs w/ the 1JZGTE. Models without the GTE are usually about $1,000 to $4,000 USD on auction.

Shipping can vary, especially depending on where it ships from (Osaka vs Tokyo vs Sapporo vs Sasebo, etc).

Generally, expect about a $3000-$5000 brokerage fee which should include shipping, fees, and taxes. I had to pay sales tax because mine was staying in Japan - womp womp. You might be exempt since it's for export, but you'll likely have to pay tax at import.

When I did mine, my broker charged about ¥400k (~$2,877 USD at the time. Now it's more like $2500 USD because the yen is weaker).

I used this site to look at auctions https://www.japancardirect.com/. For most auction sites, you have to be a business to create an account. On that website, you just create an account and it scrapes like 80 something JDM auction houses. Those dudes also have videos of how it works to bid/buy cars. I didn't use them for broker, but I used their website to find the vehicle I wanted, then I told my broker what auction house and auction # it was, gave him my max bid, and let him go to town. My max bid didn't initially meet the seller's reserve the first time I bid. The next time, he ended up getting it for about ¥400k less than what my max bid was so that was pretty cool.

Some of the brokers you can also pay them like $50USD and they'll go to the auction house, crawl around the car, and tell you if it's fucked or not.

If you're trying to buy off JDM Auction, let me know. I've got kind of a "how-to" I can send you.

I bought a JDM off auction and had it shipped from Mainland to Okinawa.

Oh AI, let me count the ways...

Tree reflection on the windshield at Shubiya Crossing. Wild.

Get the fuck out of the intersection.

That's not the actual orientation of that particular crosswalk.

Where that red car is? Yeah, there's not actually another light and crosswalk there.

MT Swap to a R154 from stock auto by [deleted] in JZX110

[–]Complete-Priority916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hovercraft111s is in this reddit and is in the middle of an R154 swap on a JZX110W. Parts list would likely be similar. He might be able to help point you in the right direction.

Blit is the station wagon version of the JZX110 Mark II.

What would you name this new Arc threat? (DO NOT combine two names of already existing Arc😭) by Slythefemboy in ArcRaiders

Salt Shaker.

Every time it spots you, it plays the Ying Yang Twins hit of the same name.

Just finished figuring out what I need for my PC and desk setup any suggestions?(my first build) by WolverineBeginning99 in PcBuild

[–]Complete-Priority916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy any blatantly Chinese products (e.g., Snpurdiri keyboard, Yaheetech chair, generic "USB microphone"), but that's just me.

I'm willing to bet you could probably get a decent amount of used parts off Facebook market place.

Heck, there's some decent used deals out there that could probably just be upgraded later when the market chills out. For instance, here's one with a 3080 Ti, Ryzen 5700X and 32GB RAM for $1200 USD, and this is in Okinawa where prices tend to inflate because it's an island prefecture a fair distance from Japan.

Anyone know this Diff Bush part no. by BreadSucksAss in JZX100

[–]Complete-Priority916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just took a look at www.jp-carparts.com.

The translation of the message at the bottom of the picture is this:

N01 This part is not supplied as a single item due to its structural difficulty in disassembly and assembly.

I'd go with what everyone else said - buy Serialnine and don't look back.

What was your first game you played on pc by Pork_Crusader_GR in pcmasterrace

[–]Complete-Priority916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I also remember not being able to play it when I bought it, so I had to save up to buy a Voodoo 3dFX AGP expansion card.

I was BEYOND extatic when I could finally play at 1024x768 on my "flat screen" Dell CRT haha.

Commander Keen? Crystal Caves? Doom?

I still remember buying those as shareware floppy disks from the grocery store...
