First up, Genuine Nissan 8-spokes in 8J & 9J 150000JPY

…and of course, they’re not likely to fit within the stock bodywork which would mean I’d have to get some of these;

TSCup style B310 Flares 18000JPY

Then of course there would likely still be some issues with fitment unless I got some of these…

CUSCO Camber tops 18481JPY

You’d also be silly to get flares but no other FRP items, and given I have no spoiler at the moment and ugly bumpers, why not get these?

Ducktail Spoiler 15800JPY

FRP Bumpers in pre-facelift Shape 20980JPY

Unfortunately the rear quarter badges on my coupe are disgustingly worn and half popping out most the time.  Fortunately, however, there are new reproduction Sunny badges that would replace them beautifully

Sunny Badges 4980JPY

In the current listings and line-up on my wee browse of what was available, only one other thing stood out;

Sunny Thin Slat Front Grille with 'S' badge 2000JPY

Grand Total: 230241JPY (3489NZD)

Not bad.  A lot less than the 110-wishlist and most of the expense belongs in the corner of the Nissan 8-spokes.

Any help?

Looks like a lot of time and effort went into reproducing the Silhouette kit, and the price tag reflects that. The rims aren’t exactly right and it may not be running a LZ20B under the bonnet, but there’s more than enough cool bits attached to the FJ20 to make it sound like it could be pretty fun!

Yours for a cool 2.5 million yen.

I don't even think I could get it into my driveway.

Period Buckets, x2 = 60000JPY

Stainless Twin-Pipe Exhaust Setup = 115000JPY

FRP Bonnet = 42000JPY

Appropriate fender mirrors = >25000JPY

Racing Jacket = 12000JPY

Set of 16"x 8.5 & 9.5 RS-Watanabe Wheels = 150000JPY

Keeping in mind the first thing my 110 needs is the damn body fixed, and there’s obviously more bits and pieces that I need but for the time being the grand total of the above items…

676500JPY

That’s purchase price (in most cases) and there’s still shipping and the rest of the jazz to add on to that.  So, chances of getting any of the 10000NZD worth of just parts any time in the near future is very, very slim.

I’ve just had word from Ewan @ hayatonka.com that they’re planning on shipping another 20ft Container over around mid-August.  If you’re after something large-ish or simply a lot of stuff, NOW is the time to order to make sure you get some space in said container.  I know there’s a few things I’m dead keen on.

If you don’t know how to purchase from Ewan there’s a few options, you can either email him directly via his www.hayatonka.com website for a run-down on the procedure or you could look through this post here which help explain the process from the buyers perspective (eg. me);

‘Want to buy from YAJ? Here’s how.’

If there’s still anything you need to know after reading that or corresponding with Ewan via e-mail, just ask and I’ll try help you out.

14x11.5 + 14x12. Dish 'em up.

If only there were road tires that you could use on such things.  If you want ‘em .. you know who to hit up.  Ewan @ Hayatonka

One owner, 69,000km, telephone dial rims and black interior, what’s there not to like? Even the price is sweet, coming in at a reasonable 450,000 yen (no reserve); that’s only 7200 NZ pesos.

Oh yes.

or if you’re feeling rich you can hit the buy now for a cool 780,000 yen ($12,800).

Black leather isn't my style, but it might be yours?

This particular Integrale is the 200PS 16V (non-Evo) model, distinguishable by the 4-stud rims, lack of side bonnet vents and less prominent rear fender/door bulge. Not as sought after as the Evolution models which followed but certainly nowhere near as expensive either.

Powered by Fiat Twin Cam.

If there absolutely had to be something in my garage manufactured this side of 1989, then an Integrale would be it. And now that the new LHD SIVS laws have come into effect, bringing in one of these highly desirable cars has never been easier. Cue one phone call or email to Ewan @ hayatonka…

Better be in quick though, the auction ends tomorrow – although there are no bidders as of yet.

Received an email over the weekend from Ewan @ Hayatonka stating that the container heading to NZ will be delayed until March due to some logistical problems with a couple of parts yet to arrive.

This is good news for anyone still mulling over whether to purchase something off YAJ (as you’ve now got another month to get your arse into gear), but maybe not so good for anyone wanting stuff in a hurry.

damn, guess this means my Defi junk won’t be here for a little while longer.

HKS Programed (sic) Fuel Computer.

From what I can gather, the F-CON simply hooked into the standard ECU injector signal and modified it to allow for increased fueling at higher boost levels, not unlike some of the more esoteric “boost enrichment solenoid” DIY kits of the late ’90s. Further fine-tuning of the ‘map’ could be achieved through use of a plug-in hand controller.

This particular F-CON is for the DR30 and US12 FJ20ET, and doesn’t come with the piggyback harness nor boost sensor (which are both necessities given the age of the product). As a result, the start price is an incredulously low 2011 yen.

I could almost be tempted to buy it for squid (for bonus points in the “authentik ’80s mods” category) but without a harness it’s pretty much useless other than for trinket value.

And besides, I’ve already got a Link G4…

Following on from the success of the first container landing in August, Ewan and the folks over at Hayatonka.com have announced that a second container is currently being organized for dispatch to NZ in late January. So perhaps not quite in time for xmas, but most folks are currently in the mood for a good shopping spree anyway…

Hit up ewan@hayatonka.com with your Yahoo Auctions Japan order; if you’re not familiar with the process, have a gander here.

You can also check out this blog post over at C’s Garage to get a better idea of shipping costs for various items.

As always, mention retro-classics and you’ll receive a discount on your final bill!

First container - great success!

Although these wheels are still quite spendy, were they the same width and offset in an SSR Mk.II, Mk.III, Work Equip, RS-Watanabe, Hayashi Street or any of the other more detailed design centres, their price would be easily double what it is now.

10" Wide - That makes these the Front Pair.

12" Wide - That'll be the Rears then.

They’re not my thing at all but for those just after outright width while retaining the Japanese connection they’re a fairly solid route to take.

Now of course if they are your thing and you’re interested in purchasing them, just hit up Ewan from Hayatonka.com with the auction links and he’ll be able to help you out.
