There are a few fairly expensive ones on eBay from a Danish source if your need is a desperate one!

I'm buying in literally £thousands of parts and the one thing that bugs me about Amayama is they will short ship on orders if parts ordered and paid for then come back as unavailable. Just had that on one of my orders which obviously really screws up the freight cost allocation on the parts that do get shipped. I'm buying in things that are rubber, metal bolt on parts or gaskets so pretty much anything that degrades. Looks like you might be the man to come to for the plastic when those parts are no longer being made and supplies out of the supply chain exhausted. So when will your project actually be finished, I'm guessing never?

When I had my rear glass taken out professionally they waived their usual breakage guarantee as they said they could no longer get the rear screens for Supras. Worth bearing in mind before doing anything glass out.

The Americans love hood catches and it does involve drilling the bonnet. You never know it could take off?

Does anyone have one or two examples of 17281-46010 gasket and two 16347-42020 - new only? These are jspec TT mounting and water jacket gaskets?

I just sent an employee down to Felixstowe when I imported a car through the port. That was really painless

No, it won't be legal unless you have trade plates unless you head straight down to a MOT station from the port and it passes. Its advisable to VIN insure so you don't risk facing a total loss should it get stolen or damaged in any way even if you trailer it home from the port. Your VIN insurance does cover you to drive to a MOT station but not for anything else until you get a MOT pass. I checked that with my Mustang. Police are OK with VIN insurance also, as clearly you may well get pulled driving without plates. If the car has retained its Irish plates I doubt you'd get any police interest but again you won't be insured for road use until you have a valid MOT pass. If you drive before registration then you would need to declare the dates to the DVLA or face the prospect of fines resulting from a camera pick up on a untaxed vehicle. Which won't be an issue if the car has retained its irish plates.

With a V55/5 you don't actually need to fill in that much information, you can leave a lot of boxes blank. I went through the process when I imported a car from the USA. if you use the link and head to the end of the thread it goes through completing a V55/5 and what accompanying docs are required with the application (this includes a MOT pass certificate). http://www.mocgb.net/forums/showthread.php?70186-New-65-Fastback-Just-Imported/page2 You can VIN insure the car pending UK registration. You need to be selective on insurer as some have a 1 month limit, others don't, and you need to get the MOT done and passed and forms sent to the DVLA and their sending back a registration before you time out. With the V55 you'll also send the road tax money.

Assuming you are referring to a car that is over 10 years old there should be nothing to do beyond registering it and getting a MOT test (if over 3 years old). Now if you leave it a couple of years you may then have to pay duty and VAT but that's for another discussion.

Any ancillaries, could be parted with cash for a power steering pump and pulley.

Fronts sorted, 23/1. Still interested in a set of rear lights if anyone has a set they discarded when fitting lovely new facelifts.

When I was looking at Mk4's in 1998 they were all silver. Nothing but silver and I ended up buying the 6th car that happened to be the first non silver one I looked at, it was and is white. It was white before the fast and furious films and I thought it looked good, even in 1998. Just happens that white went on to become the new black and who knows, silver might become the new white?

Cheapest I've seen is £24.99 delivered eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Lexus-IS300-Timing-Belt-13568-YZZ14-/181077012094?hash=item2a2907ee7e:g:ZcgAAMXQrvpRFOaH

You can buy this belt from Toyota dealers for £31 inclusive of VAT and delivery.

Anyone have a non air bag OE steering wheel they would like to rehome? Must be in excellent condition.

There is a 300ZX discussion on titanium keys. The read on it is any place can cut them that cuts keys, just don't tell them its titanium. Maybe that'd make them nervous. Best price on a cut was £1.

I don't know if there is a big demand for pedals but for info a new clutch master cylinder is around £120 and a repair kit around £40.

I didn't even know there was a low fuel light. What does it look like?

Worth having in mind that a lot of the modified cars in the classifieds on here and in PH recently are not exactly racing off to new homes. So it comes down to is a sale needed or are you not bothered if it sells when it comes to setting a price. I'd say £20k is plain dreamy.

After a front set of yellow indicator lenses and rear light clusters. PM me if you have a set available, must be clear, clean and near as good as new.

Back listed again, seller (new owner) say he has found that he cannot afford to insure it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-supra-RZ-big-single-turbo-/222383880206?hash=item33c71cb80e:g:8Y8AAOSw9GhYghiv

I think the caps are different sizes for the 16" or 17" wheels so it may be useful if you share what size of wheel you have and need the caps for?

I have a set on my car and they do a good sturdy job of protecting the coolers, condenser and intercooler. Good price offer on eBay for black grilles. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZunSport-Toyota-Supra-MK4-1993-1998-Black-Steel-Mesh-Full-Grille-Set-/111486821168?hash=item19f521e330:g:xDwAAOSwF1dUP5wy

I checked Japanese availability within the last 2 weeks on all four sensors and only one came back as still available and three are out of stock with no schedule to restock. Effectively out of production. Lots of sites still list a price for all four sensors but then will come back as not currently available.
