good luck with the car looks awesome good luck getting it engineered for comp and regoed with that mofo turbo... and the epa will rape you up da ass. esp once they see your website...2ndly with a car like that worth the extra to send via container it is not usually the wharfies rather soemtimes the crew on the ship.. all cars sent by container never had an item pinched inc a a power fc handcontroller left under the seat.. most cars sent by ship had stereos gauges and cd stackers ripped.

okay, i'm gonna ask a really really stupid question here:

80% of the cars i've seen photos of that are still in japan look like they're taken in the same garage as yours dude?!?!?

what gives? anyone?

That will go like stink with 2835R turbo on it.. heat wrapped pipes too shows its been tuned properly by a decent tuning house..that thing will GO .. maybe 250rwk ? hard to tell of course.. but yeah, looks like a beauty, and it will go fast

bastard :)

yeah was bought at osaka.

i had it moved to go in container but bank lost my contract so it took for ever to pay and the next container ship would have arrived too late so it had to come by car ship.

i just realised that they tried to steal the steering wheel too, two of the bolts are missing which i assumed they always were, but they are in the pics from japan.

already complied, problem is rwc and rego, epa should be fine they are easily fooled.

inark, i have no idea where you live. if by factories you mean moorabin/cheltanham, then ill be going to ICE alot soon to get it tuned and sh*t.

dave, you might get a ride if you bring those rims down for me... but just realised that they have to be able to take 225 tyres! yes and if your around your woman whenever i see her next you might get one then...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
