I fail to understand why 'everyone' would want a Japanese manual.... i mean, should just 1 person buy it, and then do a group buy on translating the entire manual?

That way everyone still pays around the $100 mark, and get a Translated copy instead. Mind you it may have taken longer, but I know personally Id NEVER fork out the cash for a foreign languange book which Ive got no time or resources to have translated.

oh well, all the best with it - if someone ever translates it, PM me and Id love to buy a proper copy in the future.

sorry guys, I'm in adelaide atm since last week, and I haven't had access to the interweb till yesterday. Turns out they weren't mailed out, but I've been told they will be shortly.

have you found out if they have been mailed yet?

Sorry andrew they haven't been mailed out... real bad timing as I just left on holidays, and I've been in Adelaide for the last week (as per last post) and in Syd till the 23rd. If anyone wants their money back I'm happy to refund it.

im not worried bout the money, ive just got things that i want to do to my stagea, and it would be much easier with the manuals.

anyways...so your saying that we should definately have them by the end of the month?

Be careful please Alex, slandering of businesses is not tolerated anywhere on the forums.

Although I can understand everyone's frustrations, this has nothing to do with JSpec, it has to do with Funky the postage is his responcability, no matter who he gave it to for postage, he should be the one ultamitly responcable for it. Now he has stated his reasons for nothing happening, and if you do not recieve anything from him or a refund, then I would suggest you all submit a bad trader rating.

Other than that, there is not much else you can do.

All that said I would have to say that people have lives and if Funky is on holidays then there is nothing much he can do until he gets back. If no joy is gained after that, then and only then proceede further.

edited; not getting involved in this one!!

(although if Alex has had delay problems before with Jspec, then his percieved point of view can not be read as slanderous)

I've purchased two cars through J-spec.

One arrived, there were delays all over the place, but thats understandable so no harm done.

The second, well, there must not be many mechanics in Japan as i waited over 6 weeks for an inspection that never happend and in the end demanded the car be resold and a refund given.

In this case, in post #72 Funky said "They were sent middle of last week (using regular post) so it should arrive soon." So that makes me think that the CD's were actually already burnt and ready to go. Hence, the hold up must be with Jspec as he said in post #83 "Might check with the guy that does the postal run (sent with company mail) to see what was done"

Unfortunatly I lack to see why Funky needs to be in Melbourne for them to be sent? They are burnt, packed, addressed and ready to go....according to him. Both Ian and I have also offered to go around there and sort this out.

I know it is frustrating guys, buy yelling and screaming about things isnt going to solve anything is it?

I have PM'd Funky about this, but lets all try to stay civilised and deal with this in an adult manner please!

BTW I am on no ones side, just trying to keep the thread from going ugly, that's all.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
