    I know of a few of the guys with cbr250s have been importing engines from Japan through middlemen after buying off the Japanese Yahoo Auction site.

    I have only just become aware of this place and it seems to have a whole lot of fzr parts including whole engines and about 1000 radiators.

    Just one of the better engines that I found.

    It is up to $160AUD last time I checked.

    Just thought you would be interested in this information.

    website.

    Hey Ciaran, do you have any contact details for those guys that were acting as middlemen? There's quite a few items on there that would be worth importing, as long as shipping & handling didnt quadruple the price (and even then it'd still be cheaper than buying from over here).

    Oh they also have whole bikes, for $2,300AUD this would be a good buy even if the shipping was a killer. [Drool]

    not to worry!! looks like i will be scrapping the bike and buying a bandit 600. it means a hefty loan and it will mean that it cost me over €2500 (AU$4,500 - AU$5,000??) to have my fizzer 4 months, covering less than 3000km. ah well. **** happens. anybody need any bits for a 3ln? almost everything else is perfect on the bike

    I have been looking into it a bit more today while I am waiting for some paint to dry. Seems like it will set you back $60AUD min to buy an item + the bid price + shipping to Australia. It doesn’t look to be of much value for small parts. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

    I have just spent ages going through that japanese link yahoo site.

    Why can't ebay.com.au look like that?

    @ciaran: can u please post back your findings - I would syndicate if anyone else was keen on importing

    I found this place was a bit better than the google translator. Just put in this site <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/">http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/</a><!-- m --> and convert from jap to english <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
    http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translator.html

    The guys over at the cbr place haven’t been much help but I found most of the stuff on a skyline forum.

    That should keep you going for a while.
