Sydneykid…

You generalised and were caught out… Ya get that…

This is my last post…

I’m sorry I ever even came to this forum.

As for the trip to Japan that you say you’re going to pay for…

No need for PM’s… Email me…

We’re off to Toda’s Fightex suspension workshop… (You did say my choice)

All expenses paid by you…

What you’re suggesting would be cool, but honestly… I don’t believe you.

Roy

Nice try... Ha ha ha...

Never know if you don’t ask.

If you would like Toda parts a good prices email me.

I can look after you.

oh and i'd like to ask, what is wrong with them outsourcing parts anyway? For example carrillo rods and shit like that, heavy duting forgings of there rods are known to take over 1000hp, for the price to strength there pretty damn good really. That goes for all the other manufacturers too, they produce in greater numbers than the jap shops, they can therefore lower there prices.

I just dont see the point of the argument really.

Hey Xeron - Love the subtle link

But you are right, there is nothing wrong with outsourcing. It has been happening for ever, and will continue to.

I personally have a problem with companies who outsouce their catalogue, then double the price and give them their flashy names in flashy boxes, and neither corfirm or deny that you can buy the exact same thing from the original manufacturer for half the price. I believe their should be more information available about this, as we all have a budget which limits our performance. I would hope that, Like I and Sydneykid have, is made public (for SAU and SDU forums anyways) about certain products that are available from the original manufacturer, for half the price. A lot of this information is hard to come by, and can save you HEAPS in the long run...

You realise that none of the Japanese make their own injectors?

They are largely all Denso.

I agree with Sydneykid, in general the Japanese often outsource their parts and charge a premium.

Whether Toda do this I can't say but to say that it's not a common practice because Toda do not do it is short sighted.

Nippon Denso is a Japanese company…

The Denso injectors sold by Blitz, HKS & Sard are all priced competitively…

No secret is made as to the origins of these products…

With regard to TODA Products… For the record…

TODA Racing uses the latest design and manufacturing equipment to produce TODA products. All product design is carried out using the IBM CATIA (CAD/CAM/CAE) which is the same system used by Honda, Boeing, Ferrari, and other high technology manufacturers.

All TODA products are manufactured in-house by TODA. Having an in-house manufacturing capability means there are no compromises in design or manufacturing. Product testing is carried using advanced analytical software, engine bench testing (engine dyno), and race testing

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
