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.

    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
