send an international fax? and then let Jesse know, so he can ring straight away and follow up the fax?

What happened??? My post...

Anyway, folks I just wanted to let you know that theres no issue with sending faxes to HKS if you want stuff, they just want to know the exact part number, car chassis/VIN number etc kinda like a triple check? Good onya HKS :D

Rezz, do you want me to send you all that information ?

I did, but my partner just gave HKS the details from one of his friends cars... he can only do it if his mates have the same car as the customer though.

It's isn't a prerequisite for purchasing, but alot of the larger companies want those details.

Your gasket will arrive for dispatch on Monday btw Michael :D

Well when my misses phoned them perhaps she just gota really bad salesman THREE times.

first time was when he wanted the cars serial numbers... fair enough I spose but still pretty homo if you both know what car, engine and turbo you are talking about.

second time he reffered to the outlet pipe gasket (dump pipe) as a "turbo and extension front pipe" gasket when Akemi didnt know what he was talking about he got all sh!tty... who the f#ck makes up their own names for parts??

third time when we finally figured out WTF he was talking about he rudely requested a fax!

guess if you arent buying a million dollar turbo kit off them they dont care that much.

sorry but HKS... FAIL

Jesse try getting a guy who knows about cars to call up (or do it yourself) and then see the response... I guarantee they change their tune when a guy with not much time to spare is on the other end of the phone :O

About the car serial numbers, their ordering system requires that field to be entered before they can process the order, Nissan JP do it too. My mate Ikeda just gives them a chassis number from a car they're working on (if it's the same model) and HKS are happy thereafter... it's stupid I know.

Hrrrrm Akemi isnt bad when it comes to cars and Ive been screwing around with cars for more than 12 years and even been a mechanic for a couple. I had no idea what an "extension front pipe" was, in Japan its called an "outlet pipe". Im not impressed at all, infact Im quite surprised at how bad they are... starts to make alot of shonky Australian garages look good! LOL

I've come across similar situations on several occasions now and, though I hate to reinforce yet another negative cultural stereotype, it's always been: "japanese men dealing with japanese women in a "mens' business" scenario. The standard conceptions of japanese customer service seem to go right out the window.

In fact, I was talking to another expat about my own tuner - and I was warned off because apparently they were very difficult to deal with, the guy's girlfriend was treated badly, and so on - but my own experience couldn't have been more different.

anyway, that's my 2c for today.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
