    Hey just out of curiousity, my tuner replaced my copper plugs with Iridium NGKs and all of a sudden i'm getting huge misfire around 5000rpm (at 0.8 bar) Nothing else has been changed as far as I know. Does it sound like they're 1.1mm gapped and I just need to change it to 0.8?

    Gread thread by the way, very helpful to a newbie like myself.

    crazy dude why pay to retune a car that already had a $500 tune?

    secondly GTT's hate iridiums thats why the car had coppers in it.

    put coppers back in and gap to .8

    Importing An R34? My Experience...

    What's the difference between using a service like mytrading to say prestige imports?

    prestige is in australia, while mark hocking is in japan.

    prestige is for noobs who want to spend more and mark hocking is for the little more clued-in to spend less.

    I have imported both ways, through an australian broker like prestige and also through a japanese exporter like mark hocking.

    The only reason I used the broker was because friends told me that was how you import a vehicle, after doing it that way first I realised it was the stupid noob more epensive way to import a vehicle.

    well done the orignal poster for importing the right way :thumbsup:

    WARNING to anyone buying or selling your car, make sure you tell the mechanic to ignore anything after market on the car otherwise they will list aftermarket parts as problems that need fixing.

    exhaust, pedals, airpod etc.

    The mechanic could have just looked under the wheel arch and seen the BRIGHT YELLOW adjustable caster rod thing and measured it to make sure it was all ok.

    Dodgy as f#*$

    If it is the castor setting an easy check would be to climb under and measure from the centre of the front castor rod bolt to the first of the 2 on the lower control arm.

    If one's shorter than the other then i'd say that it's all in the adjustment.

    I just got down and had a look, you can see more yellow on the right one I think it was and less on the left. Considering the angle they are sitting on is how you adjust them and one is sitting out further I would say the mystery has been solved, will confirm with the suspension guys on Monday.

    RAC is getting a letter of complaint next week for sending out a mechanic who wrote a false and misleading statements about my car which resulted in the sale of the car being stalled and possibly called off.

    Not happy :ermm:

    Hey guys,

    This is actually my skyline he is talking about.

    Here are two wheel alignment read-outs one (bobjane) before the white line gear was put in and one (wilkinsons) after the white line one was put in.

    They were done less then a month apart.

    The bob jane shows castor left +6'33" right +6'48"

    The wilkinsons shows castor left +7'38" right +5'38"

    Isnt this proof that all that has happened is that wilkinsons has set the whiteline adjustable caster up for aussie roads? also wilkinsons never mentioned any problems what so ever so I really think eveyrthings ok.

    I will be ringing on monday to confirm, as this sale is hinging on this car being straight or not.

    EDIT: the bobjane readout was from one of those crappy ribbon printers so it didnt scan well but you guys can make out the numbers yeah? its much easier to read from the original.

    they are legal in wa and they work very well.

    they wont save you if you are an idiot and speed heaps and by a large amount.

    they save you when you are maybe going a little over with the flow of traffic or similar.

    the size of the job depends on how the compliancer went about the job of removing the xenons.

    If they cut all the wires back really harshly then its a big job and will take many hours.

    and if they left plenty of wire then it will take half the time.

    I have some step by step instruction with pictures on how to remove the xenons, I used it and just went backwards to do mine.

    why not just tell your mate to sell the car, pay off the workshop and be done with it with some cash in your pocket and a lesson learned?

    Or go down there with a couple of mates and make it quite clear that if the keys are not returned, their faces and their property will be destroyed.

    I favour option one :D
