If you like my rims and would like a set for yourself, you're in luck. These ones need a few paint touch ups but are nice because you don't have to have tires dismounted prior to shipping. Looks like no curb rash either. You could land these in America all said and done for about $1300 or so.

Can I post a non-LS430 item? I promise it's worth it.
Check out this R34 GT-R. HKS pistons making it a 2.7l. HKS V-Cam. HKS turbo. F50 calipers. HKS F-Con V (good luck tuning that in America...)

Unreal build sheet. For fun, click the seller's "other auctions" and be blown away. This company only sells super clean, built cars.

As far as actual cars go, I can blow your mind with some of the cars available for sale there... and not just JDM cars... euro cars, American cars... just some unreal finds. I'll slip a few in here and there if no one minds (I have a lot of free time if you haven't noticed)...

To experience the car culture of Japan is truly something special. It is hard to describe. They are really enthusiastic when it comes to cars and all makes and models have a cult-like following over there. I've been twice and both times I saw so many unique cars and all of the owners are so friendly and approachable. The culture just isn't the same here in the states, and that is really sad. It's like they appreciate the car as a whole a lot more. If you ever get the chance to go to Japan, I highly recommend it. It is best to experience it first hand!

I'll share a few here and there and will probably just do one post with several cars and commentary for each in it. For the first one, check out this classic Impala. American cars, even crappy ones, have a cult following over there. I follow someone on IG who has an Excursion. I can't even fathom driving an Excursion in Japan, let alone paying for gas. Anyways, this gorgeous Impala looks well cared for.

I'm coming to terms that the main demographic here is just the "general user" whereas coming from other corners of the Import world (Subaru and Time Attack), there are some die-hard people in search of the rarest of the rare, or the ultimately unique things never offered here. I've blown a decent chunk of change on YAJ and it's cool to see so many people excited about this stuff.

You wanna' be Takumi Fujiwara in real life? Then you need this AE86. Almost a perfect replica up until Takumi blew the 4AGE midway through the series. These cars still command a premium over there. This would probably be a $28 USD car after RORO shipping and registration and what not. Rust got a lot of these cars, as did drifting. Remember, parking is hard to find in Japan and most cars sit out exposed to the elements.

This car begs for some Brides, a cage, a 5V swap, and lexan windows. If you watch BAT auctions, a recent USDM AE86 went for $20k and it wasn't half the car this one is.

Here is another AE86 in Levin trim with a 5V swap. If you don't know, the 5V motor was a screamer. The only other 5v car that comes to mind is the Ferrari F355 (3.5 liter, 5 valve aka 355). The 5V had ITBs IIRC so it really screamed and begged to be redlined all the time.

This one is as OEM and stock as they come. Super low mileage.
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j549817437

This one has the orange interior and less than 50,000 miles. $22k USD.

If anyone wants to (easily) buy car bits and pieces from Yahoo auctions try via Zenmarket. They're a proxy service with english translation. I've done 2 packages over the last month for spare bits for my Ls430 as parts are quite rare and expensive here in Australia. Large parts can be expensive for postage but smaller bits are not too bad.

Looks like ash gray. I'm going to have to look into this a bit. Curious if I could swap over and have the rear window shades without the adjustable door handles.

YannG

Good question, let me know what you find out ! as I would also like to fit some rear window shades if possible. Dont the door cards need some kind of slot for them to retract back into?

Romanova

I think this has everything you would need...
