can someone please tell me if anyone can go to the auctions in japan. i will be going back there soon, not sure when and i wanted to go there and have a bit of a look. also can someone point me in the direction of where i would go to see them and also any good/cheap etc auto places so i can buy some things for my r33. ¼Ò¹«¤¿¤¤! thanks

I went to Japan to check out the car I had bought on Auction here in Oz .... but it was already at the docks so I couldn't see it :stupid:

To access the auction yards, you need to be something like a licensed buyer to be able to access them. Apparently, there are like buses within the auction yards to take you around the different lots. U need to go where u are going, or else u will get lost!!!

I guess if you are with a buyer, you should be able to get in and check out all the cars there.

Oh yeah as for auto places, if you are in Tokyo, there is this big Autobarn-type place (but heaps more kickass) called Super Autobacs. It is in Shinonome.

There are also places called 'Yellow Hat' (don't ask me why they name an auto shop after a hat). The one I went to was in Meguro also in Tokyo.

Go to the blitz website www.blitz.com.au and check out turbo timers.

If u are too lazee, here is the brief desc for u from the site:

Hey kewl, i got myself a boost gauge :)

I can take you anywhere....let me know when you going and we can catch up...cheers

ylwgtr2 you are the man! I will be going over to japan again in probably about 2 months. I only wanted to check out the auctions to see how they operate I'm not interested in buying from them. However I am interested in buying a few things for my r33 whilst in japan if money allows.

if its cool i'll msg you closer to the date?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
