I look forward to your dyno runs later. I like your new pit crew, not your daughters are they? Cheers

Hi SK, What is the theory behind retarding the cam shaft timing? Where are you looking for power increases, low, mid high RPM? Cheers Rob

I am representing a TAFE Institute as part of the Victorian team. No we don't have a stand, I just follow around with the Minister for ICT. We have heaps of meetings planned with various Japenese dignitaries. Should be fun. Have to sign off now as I have to pack for the early flight tomorrow morning. If you can think of any else worth visiting drop me a line and I will catch up Monday some time when I establish communications again. Cheers Rob

The word is Australia spent $40M on the pavilion, which included the giant platypus. The Expo is run over 6 months and the Japanese expect about 15 million people to attend. The Victorian Government is spending about $5M on 6 trade missions to the Expo about 1 month apart. First mission was Automotive, then Agriculture, and the 3rd mission is IT which I will be part of. Looking forward to it. Cheers Rob

Thanks for the feedback. Actually, the main reason for visiting Japan is to attend the world expo at Nagoya. I am visiting the Toyota house, if I get a chance I will try to get to the factory. Looks like they do tours. I noticed in your photos a picture of the giant platypus. Is that from the expo?? Cheers Rob

Hi, I will be visiting Japan between June 20 and June 29. (one more sleep to go) I am in Tokyo and Nagoya and will have a JR train pass. I will also have a few spare days and would like to get a feel for the car sceen in Japan. Can anyone provide any suggested sights worh seeing: New and second hand car parts Drifting circuits, where do they hang out? Car museums etc etc Cheers Rob

Hi SK, Very interesting and useful guide! Are you planning to adjust the exhaust cam timing and run some dyno tests? When I fitted my WOLF ECU, I had to wire in some mods to activate the intake cam solenoid. I left it standard until about 2000rpm, activated it (advanced the cam), then dropped it out at about 6000rpm. I did dyno runs and an advanced intake cam helps power at mid rpm, but I was unable to detect any improvement above 6000rpm advanced or standard. This was with the standard turbo. I have since high flowed the turbo but not re checked the intake cam vs power. Any thoughts? Rob

4 x Bridgestone S03s for sale. 235 x 45 x 17 Fantastic wet and dry roads. As new. $850 set of 4.

After double checking your message, I think you are purchasing a NTK 7057 Sensor priced at $89. Yes it will fit in the standard hole. I used the 6066 at $150. HOWEVER, removing the standard O2 sensor and replacing it with the NTK 7057 alone will not improve your tuning ability. The NTK sensor requires the WB02 2A0 in order for it to measure the air / fuel ratio. The total kit will set you back about $600!! Also, I have a Wolf ECu that allows me to tune the amount of fuel. If you have the standard ECU will not be able to tune any thing! Thus, if you are swapping the standard O2 sensor with the NTK 7057, I don't think it will work and you will not gain anything. Hope that helps. Cheers Rob

Hi Matt, I fitted a dump pipe to my R33. Before I fitted the dump, I also added a plug to allow the fitting a Tech Edge WB02 sensor. The thread of the WB02 is the same as the Oxygen sensor fitted to your car. In fact it will fit in the same plug hole in the standard R33 dump pipe.. The plug was supplied and welded in at my local exhaust supplier. I have been using the Tech Edge WB02 for about 9 months now. I use it to fine tune my Wolf ECU. Good luck. Rob

Paid $1400 for them, only did 1000Km. Almost New!!! $1050 will not seperate.
