Granted, I understand you can't do a whole lot with it aside from small items. I have used Buyee a couple of times now and never had an issue with the experience. But for anything larger or more complicated I always like working with Jesse Streeter.

most of the items now are black listed they dont ship auto parts. they are using way to many bs excuses. fyi make sure you're working with a business in japan should customs want paperwork of the person selling also that person is not using an APO usps as a business.

I've shipped many things from wheels to seats to small items and steering wheels with buyee. I've never had any issues, they have the same bank fees and commission as most other companies. For the most part, fees and item cost is exactly the same as any other service.

For shipping, it will definitely be more expensive, but by only about 10% to 20% for most things. They use whatever box the seller ships the item in, so you're up the discretion of the seller and the box size. For the most part, shipping is pretty reasonable for small items, and even for pairs of wheels, its not too terrible (27k-33k yen instead of 20k thru streeter).

For me, I'd pay the slight premium to have the convenience of being able to bid instantly on that steering wheel or little item that I want. Sometimes I'd rather have the item for price X, rather than go through the email process and lose out on the item to save $20.

Also, in most cases, you can unlock the item by just emailing the buyee team. (and fyi, never buy a seat with buyee, shipping prices are insane ($400-500 for shipping))

[BossHogg]

If you consolidate many packages, then Buyee packages it themselves. Obviously.

That is another good thing about them. They will hold your items for you until they all arrive. Streeter does it also, but he is also short on space so he does not like to do it all the time. I know I ate up a lot of space with my exhaust. Which is by far the longest, biggest box I have seen. Could probably fit 3-4 humans in that mofo. It's longer than the couch lol.

[Corbic]

So is it realistically possible to get a Brix I in my hands for under $400??

[racer98]

has to be desasembled and its doable.

[irritatedmax]

And just a heads up, that's an Ergo.

[racer98]

Just an example I snagged.

I'm looking for any of the old Bride reclinables.

[TeamFRAT]

It is possible. I just received this a month or so ago for under that price.




*the image makes it look dirty but it showed up in amazing condition with no defects.

corbic

depending on condition, you could probably do under 300

How much did it cost you in yen to ship that reclinable?

That's actually kind of cool, hows the quality? Can't tell too much from the pic. Cool idea though, never thought of something like that.

[CrimsonRockett]

Some items I've picked up off YAJ over the years. Others that I've just held onto from cars I've owned.

[TheRealSy90]

I need that Greddy ball shift knob!

It has kept dead accurate time since i got a new battery put in it. These seem to be REALLY old as the leather bands break when you get them. The back of the case claims water resistant. I have a guy going to HKS japan to hopefully find out some info on it.
I bought a carbon fiber style band for it.

I'm looking to purchase s15 hlsd output shafts. Can anyone help me?

good luck, they are stupid rare to come by now. if you do find a set, make sure it lists 30 SPLINE and NOT 29 spline! There is an R34 that used 30 spline as well, but they require 5 bolt axles (S15 HLSD uses 6 bolt axles)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but your options are
Buy an entire s15 diff assembled, pay a couple hundred in shipping.
Somehow miraculously find just the output shafts on YAJ and use an importer/streeter.
Have a friend that lives there, get a whole diff shipped to them, have them pull the shafts out and send them to you

call them and find out if theyre in stock! last i heard Nissan was on back order for S15 helical shafts all over the world.

s14Art, if youre dead set on buying a helical diff, go pick up a Quaife... or if youre on a budget, get an OBX. both diffs are helical/torsen based and are the same thing as an S15 diff, just without the hassle of finding output shafts (OBX and Quaife use your OE shafts).

I got a red Bride Zeta 2 in literally like new condition for like 430 bucks after shipping. Got a red bride Brix in really good condition for around that too. If you find it cheap you get it to you cheap. Sometimes shipping will be more than the item price itself.

[rv_zenki]

Does anyone have tips on finding old school nismo shift knobs? Tried google translate without much luck

[shomo172]

I've been looking at Buyee today and was wondering if there was a way to know the total cost. Is that just a game of chance or is there no real way to tell? I see some Buy it Now items that are interestingly cheap but still seems strange.

If youre serious pm me, pretty sure I have a friend who has one sitting around.

[CrimsonRockett]

Greddy shift knob is one of my favorites actually. Weighted shift knob paired with either one of the short shifters I have (C's, Tomei, B&M). Absolutely love it.

Personally not too fond of the PBM shifter. Feels too big/overweight.
