LOL it does exist and it's still called Nismo Omori Factory though it's no longer located in Omori. All the signs at the new site still say Nismo Omori Factory. Go figure hahaha

Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but i noticed that BoostdR hasn't used the forums in 8 months so I thought I'd ask everyone else. He mentioned that HKS Type R coolers were the worst performing out of the lot he tested but he was comparing it to smaller coolers (at least this is the case with the M079 ARC intercooler). Could this be the main reason they performed worse comparitively? I'm hoping so becuase I was looking at buying one of the HKS Type R coolers, though if they're really that bad then i'll just save the cash.....Does anyone have experience with this intercooler who can vouch for better/worse response, power gains, pressure drop, heat soak etc.....

buckled rim?

lol I was planning to come today but f*d a tyre and decided to garage my baby until new ones come

Went snowboarding in Nagano for a week. LOVED IT!! Plenty of ski mountains/resorts, and a lift pass for all 13(?) of them for 3 full days is about $130 AUD. Cheap as chips. Tonnes of powder everywhere, plenty of comfortable ski lodges & restaurants, off-piste snowboarding which I thought was second-to-none (have also been snowboarding in Switzerland, France and the US), but Marcus is right, get busted here and kiss your lift pass goodbye. Marcus I may have been unlucky with the Up garage I went to but I was being ushered around to all the workshops in kansai by an employee of one such workshop, who first warned me of the calibre of parts they stocked before i got there. His sentiment was also shared by the folks at Auto Select, Signal Auto and Global Auto (when discussing where they sourced parts from locally).......So perhaps it's really just luck of the draw with them. Sometimes utter crap, sometimes you get something good for a bargain. All i saw was stock beat-up parts for various cars (nothing for GTRs), cheap/tacky rims and tyres, and some other small bits and pieces (I saw 1 well priced jasma exhaust for an S15 in good condition, and 1 very underpriced nismo LSD also for an S15 - no idea what condition it was in though).

At Nismo Omori Factory LOLLL. Despite what everyone says I can assure you 100% they're still being made and for sale to the public....

Believe it or not, Nismo Japan still sell these new. I can say this with 100% confidence as I saw them in person there about a month ago. Cheaper than used ones here but that's without freight and tax Get that Jesse Streeter guy that everyone uses to ship them over for you

meh ill still come

would be awesome if you could

Yeh I'll get some up in the Japanese photo diaries section in the next week

Dave, any aftermarket BNR34 intercoolers in stock?

I'd take you out on a mental run on the outskirts of Melb BUTTTT, I have no license..........

white TE37s?! ahhhhhhhhh no

Anth wat 19's are you going for??

after Sharp also :I

hahahaha ps. sexy car...... ahhhh damn I want an R33 GTR

lets get it done before she goes!!

LOL some of the boys (Asad and Abdul) from your way were showing me your car just a few nights ago telling me we should tee up a GTR cruise

Marcus is pretty much spot on. Read my thread about it which describes the scene a month or so ago http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420485-jdm-tuning-scene-in-japan-today/

Hmm read my thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420485-jdm-tuning-scene-in-japan-today/ Also, Up Garage is FULL of junk. Any of the workshops will tell you that too. ocassionally you can find a bargain there - it seems that the place is run by a bunch of people who dont know much about what they're stripping, so sometimes parts are way underpriced. Having said that, the range of parts suitable for GTRs is next to nothing and whatever they had when i was there was utter crap. A waste of 10 minutes...

DOES anyone know who this girl is? i bet she's jumped off the westgate by now llol

I've watched this video at least 30 times and i'm still not sick of it!! HAHAHAHAHA

ahhhh what time did you get there??

It's got a v-spec badge though it has the black v-spec II interior. So unless someone has ripped off the 2 I's from the v-spec II badge, something is definitely sus.....

Heuson you're killing me! I wanted this car so badly last year when Jason was selling it and you beat me to it by a couple of hours, now you're already getting rid of it for a euro car and it hasn't even been a year!!
