Wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year from the Hammer Here's hopin you all have a good time.
I have not been around for some time (I was looking for a VR4) but I just got some pic's from Japan and wanted to share them with you to see what you think or So have a look at the attachments and let me know

[Nick Mann]

A manual! Rare.

Non-standard:
Exhaust (at least the back box!)
Wheels
Something on top of the steering column
Red paint round front fogs
Red paint on calipers (calipers look standard)
Red pipes under bonnet (not extra I don't think, just changed black for red)
Air filter
Car looks to have been lowered

Maybe a slight scuff on bottom of front bumper.

Bought it yet?!

[Hammer]

Yes, I have - I am just waiting for it to arrive at Newcastle port some time in january. why

[bradc]

That looks nice, I love those mags, are they 18's? I think it has been lowered by a good 30mm.

[Wouter]

Nice looking car!!

Hope to see you at meet next year!!

Not trying to panic you! It looks pretty clean! Just wondered if you were about to join the ranks of VR4 ownership or simply browsing.

No panic nick just asking, I have been after a VR4 for a while and I seen this one and decided to go for it the only thing I dont like is the inside so I may start looking for some new seats and stuff

Cheers Hammer

Looks nice Hammer - the red detailing around the fogs is cool. Nick's pretty much got the rest listed - All the add-ons look good quality kit (the Exhaust is £500 alone!) so enjoy!

It will probably turn up in the UK with no history (assuming it's an auction car?) so get it serviced including timing belt asap , unless you find a sticker on the timing belt cover or some other evidence.

I'm away at the moment, stuck in the middle of the north sea till the 30th but all the paper work for it has just arrived at home, the sheet I got when I paid for it said it came with full service and mileage certificate(36,000miles) but I'll check it all out when I get home.

Exaust is a full Do Duck system, but not sure if cat is on(hope so)
Wheels are Versus Tarismo's 18"
Didn't even notice the red paint on calipers and around fogs
Car is lowered and has after market ajustable suspenion(dont know what make)
The Something on top of the steering column is a duel turbo timer?

All I hope is that I dont have to much trouble with the SVA , this is the first time I have ever imported a car and I am not that sure what is going to happen once it arrives, so fingers crossed.

Cheers Hammer

Looking good! I just got mine home a week ago.

Bear in mind that i had to waste 3 extra weeks in SVA due to an aftermarket dump valve, so my guess is that you will have to find a stock exhaust, air filter and hopefully not suspension before it passes the SVA. My 18"s was ok though, so that shouldnt be a problem.

Good luck with it!

I was told that their should be no problem with the SVA even with the gear that is on it ,I was told that it is only when you have to have a ESVA the these thing's become a problem anyone else got anything else to add to this.

[Rossco Type-S]

Nice car! It will be quick, the difference that an air filter and decent exhaust makes it significant.

You will probably find it has aftermarket wastegates as well.

[Wodjno]

Very nice looking car

Just 1 more thing i noticed Is that just a glisten of light shining on the left hand side of the drivers seat on the 5th pic, or is it a slit where maybe it has had a strap attached through it to fix it to the floor for the use of a 5 point harness.

Yup, seats like a pub carpet, and not a very good pub at that... Same as mine!

Nice looking car, love the wheels.

I would def make sure it gets the FULL service including all fluids changed and timing belt regardless of the low mileage, especially as i get the sneaky suspision from the selection of mods that it may have been no stranger to a bit of track use in its time....

The company is called Advangroup and the web site is japaneseauctions.co.uk
they seem very good and they have a forum on the site so you can talk to other people that have got cars off them
