Well it’s been a long time since we’ve had an episode of auction watch but I figured what the hell. Slow news day and all.

So what do we have here, why it’s a set of 35 GT-R wheels for sale with snow tyres. Only 650,000 ($6.5kUSD) yen you say? Well I might just sit the bidding out on these ones and go for a nice set of limited edition BBS wheels instead. That’s crazy talk.

Ok now for something I wouldn’t actually mind if the price was a bit better, what looks like a Nissan service manual for the R35 on CD.

Next – why oh why would anyone need to buy these? They appear to be R35 headlight insides, the bits that hold the HID projectors as well as the ballasts and globes.

As a bonus check out these other bits of carbon fiber interiorness…

Carbon fiber center console and carbon fiber center console side … bits.

They look good here…

It replaces the factory aluminium coloured center console:

Carbon fiber gauge cluster holder (ugh):

Anyway that’s enough from me. Until next time, thanks for reading!

Japanese used car auctions are some of the busiest in the world. As they should be I guess since Japan is also the leader in used car exports. This snap was taken last week at one such auction and shows just how many people are trying to flip their new R35 GT-R’s for a profit.

Update: More pics from the auctions.

Very hot.

Next up we have: GT-R Empty Box and Son of empty Box…

Quite what the deal is with these auctions I don’t know but an empty black box with GT-R stuck on it isn’t exactly my idea of an ideal Xmas gift but here it is anyway.

And just to prove it contains nothing they’re kind enough to give you the open box shot. How nice. 1,300 yen and it has a bidder so you better hurry up only 1 day left.

Next we have something actually worthwhile. Hand crafted in copper solid wire we have a model R35 GT-R. It’s going cheap so while it may not be AutoArt attention to detail it is quite original so it may make a nice gift this festive season.

That’s it unfortunately for this week’s Auction Watch. As always if you have a hot auction for us to watch, submit it!

Cheers.
