Corzette Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 If you have time this is fun. S30 parts available in Japan. http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/search?p=s30+z&f=0x2&alocale=0jp&mode=2&auccat=0&apg=1 Im considering being the bidder for Hybridz on this for parts that can be shipped USPS only. If anyone is interested let me know so Ill know if its worth my time. So far the process is simple and may be doable for me if there is enough interest.

OlderThanMe Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 What is the current dollar to yen ratio? $1 = aprox. 100yen normally right? I'm guessing with the value of the dollar now Japan may have us beat? http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f58810167 That^ is a beautiful header! SWEET! an 8 bolt L28 crankshaft! http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n56073809 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilC Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Terry, that would be great! I have seen somethings I would like and has been trying to figure out how to get them. Some of the parts have crazier prices then here in the US. Fairlady tail lights....$1250 U.S.!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 HAHAHAHA I know some of this stuff is rediculous. However there are some good things that are only available here I suspect. I just keep an eye out for these things. Like the 12J Watanabees....DAMMIT I wish I had the loot for those....maybe some more will pop up sometime...

LOL No Sheat...Look $1 = 106 yen that is $650 for one. Too bad we both missed out on this Clive: $675 for both *Hmpf* as I continue to keep an eye out. I might bite that bullet when the time comes.

Maybe the ebay user name datsun-parts is sending them to Japan for a quick profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corzette Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Terry - I would love some beautiful old skool deep dish 17" wheels for my 280ZX!! But its probably not part of your consideration on this offer? Regards - Yasin Yasin, I guess all I can say is if you find it and want me to bid on it, give me your max bid and we can see what happens. As long as I get the money to pay for the stuff it can sit here forever till the shipping money is recieved. I cant afford to take chances though so if the money is ready I am, you will just need to find what you want me to bid on via these links and I will try to help. Im sure rims can be mailed via USPS.

EvilC Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 240ztt, trust me if I knew they were gonna be that much in Japan I would have bought them when it was offered to me for less than the buy it now price. The next set that comes up we gotta jump on them. I think this will work out with Terry but we all have to be open to each other. I would not want to be fighting with someone here on HBZ over the same part. I mean it possible for to want them same item and everyone agree on the highest price they are willing to pay. EXAMPLE is tail lights, I don't wanna be sending Terry a million pm's and 4 other guys doing the same trying to convice him he should sell it to them. There shouldn't be any hard feelings. If anyone has some input on what I am trying to say, please feel free. I am just writing as I am thinking. lol Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I asked terry to find me a couple of items from Japan a while back. He found them both in short order, had the items packed well and shipped to me promptly. I absolutely would not hesitate to deal with him again. The guy is a class act. Now if I could just get him to sell me his BBC Z.............lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just get him to sell me his BBC Z.............lol! Thanks for the kind words but I am just trying to help the Hybrid community a little. I dont want to start any chaos or ill deals etc. Also to note the price on the auction does not include shipping to me. This price is minimal usually. I had 4 rims and tires sent here for about $25. A diff from Hokkaido for $20. So this is not bad. There is an additional cost for the shipment from me to you. There is also the PayPal markup. So this may or may not be a good deal for some. I would also need something for my time and the wife having to make deposits and payments to the vendors via her Japanese bank account. I thonk 5% is fair as I am not in this for huge profits but also dont want it to get out of hand. Any ways just wanted to get that all out. I am sure we can all work things out as they happen. I cant ship large items so keep em under 70 pounds and 108 inches length plus girth and all is well. This is addicting by the way....I just spent about 700 bones just this weekend...dammit!!! By the way I would think that if anyone wants to consider me helping them with anything, please PM me. Im sure the Mods wouldn't want this to clog up the main boards with details etc. Happy surfing... Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30TRBO Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Maybe the ebay user name datsun-parts is sending them to Japan for a quick profit. I already asked him if he is going to relist them or is it for his own personal stash. Waiting on a reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
