Stealth-Z Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 While visiting my wife, I did some shopping at the local wrecking yards. I bought the RB26 as a core for $1000HK dollars ($128USD), the RB25DET transmission for $1500HK ($192USD), the 5 R32 rims were $1500HK ($192USD) and not pictured I purchased a pair of R33 GTR seats, Sard and Blitz BOV's, plus a Vielside and a Greddy boost gauge for another $1500HK. I could have bargained more but was to excited about all the goodies we can't get in the US. Just as a note, Skyline parts are not to common here in Hong Kong. I found only 2 R34 4-door's being parted out. Both were automatics with RB25DET NEO's. Shipping from Hong Kong to my door in California is going to be about $750USD. Most of that cost is in port fees in Oakland CA and shipment to Sacramento. Of that $750, in Hong Kong, the freight company is charging me about $200USD to pick up the pallet, deliver it to the port, process the paperwork and put it on the ship. Anyone want to put a Turbo Bentley V8 in thier Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nikolai Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Wow, that is cool. I bet Ferrari engines and such aren't much harder to find in there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth-Z Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Holly Sh*t! What deal! Any other interesting things you see? How about this BMW V12? It was sitting just below the Bentley. There are lots of Mercedes, BMW's, Jaguars, and Lexus. I have seen several Subaru WRX's. Not to much performance Nissan stuff around here that I have seen or found. I know it is here though. I am leaving Hong Kong March 15th, so there is still time to hunt around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched an old movie where someone said that, and it was stuck in my head. But i think i would rather the V12, but both have potential.

Stealth-Z Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Nice finds! Man wish I could throw you money for a rb25 tranny at those prices! Oh well I looked high and low for more RB25 5-speeds. Automatics are more popular here it seems. Cars are a major luxury here. The trans I found was attached to an RB25DET VVT sitting out of site on a rack. He originally wanted $5000HK ($650USD) for the motor and trans set. There was, however, no harness and ecu plus the intake manifold was broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just incase kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any RB20's in the yards. Nissan does not seem to hold much of a presence here. At least the things we are interested in that is...
