    power fc not worth near that can get them at 500 all day long out of aus.

    Manual swap is harder get all the parts together than the money even at 2kish

    I have clutch pedal and master cyl and brake pedal if you go that route.

    people are mouthing everywhere about 5-6k landed for a jzx100 chaser from japan when it comes down to it take the cost price in Japan and add about €3k for tax's,shipping,vrt and fees to whoever you go through jdmauction watch etc + agents fees in Japan .

    After all that you have to NCT and tax the bitch so a 6k car becomes 9k easily but you will have a mint fresh example from Japan once the grade is high .

    No it's not a bad car really ,clean body but would need a touch up here and there the kit would need to be repaired and just silly trims missing , the clutch you'd want two people to stand on it , rear coilovers where banging , gearbox had a whine from it but gearing was fine
    Made him an offer but he wudnt budge from 9k

    Whining gearboxes seem to be common enough. It'll be hard to find one not needing a few bits here and there with them still being relatively rare.

    Lots of people stephen. Fair play to the lad getting 1k pat on the back required. Plenty of people prepared to import cars on request paddy at jdm auction watch couldn't be more helpful and straight forward danny86 is bringing in a 32 4 door through him and is happy out with the service.

    Anybody needing bits for a chaser iv a full spare rolling shell

    Conrod would you not check out the blue one on donedeal looks a propper minter
