    Anyone ever bought anything from the Japan yahoo auction? Trying to source a splitter for my s14a, there's plenty of them in the auction just need to know how to go about buying it and getting it posted...

    any idea's would be brilliant!

    cheers.

    yeah but if its 1.5 m volume or over ems wont take it , you have to use dhl or similar that or cut the splitter and its expensive id imagine ...

    :-( you can use some postal services but its not advised , same as using curriors in the uk ...

    if you give me the link we could find out if the seller knows sizes and what the costs are inside japan

    Also theres people online who do this service also but how trust worthy etc i dnt know .

    best ringing me .

    As said above, the shipping is the expensive part, and will be more than the splitter is worth... also don't forget Yahoo charges/bank fees etc...

    It's not the WORST idea in the world to cut it and ship it, especially if it's going to be painted and put on, either that or wait 6 weeks by container?!

    Just by a replica one or put up a wanted add on driftworks/driftireland, You will find one, shipping from Japan for single items like this is atrocious!

    I can get a real one for £500 in UK and they don't make replicas over here i'd have to do to the states. there extremly rare without paying stupid money...
