ah i didnt see this bit;

There will be no problems ordering of Apexi products, as the car parts division will keep running as normal.

We, Apexera are applying for Minjisaiseiho (I don’t know what this is called in English but if translated it means something like Civil Reformation). It’s a type of government support as part of bankruptcy law in Japan. It doesn’t mean the business is finished as yet.

The trouble came out of our other divisions of the business (home security systems, telecommunications etc).

We do not forsee problem in the near future and your orders will not be affected.

thats alright then

They probably would get 1 in a 100 that actually work like everything else they try re producing.. they screwed the market with all their copied crap poor apexi :O

its funny you say that....

80% of shit you have at home or on your car would be made in China..did they all fail?

EVERY SINGLE car maker nowadays has their production plants in china to produce some parts on the cars...

maybe get ready to start walking again huh?

hi,

i ordered an rb26 PFC it took approx 1 month and nearly 2 weeks to arrive from jap land.

last time i ordered a PFC about 3 years ago it was paid and sent on the friday and i had it at my place on the monday morning.

nengun get deliveries from apexi at the end of the month so if you order in the middle you wont make the monthly run and youll have to wait another

Well the 'little' china, Taiwan, had been a well known manufacturers of computer and motherboard PCB products, it's like the silicon valley of the asia.

but again, the old comrades China, even though crappy products also come out from there, again most products you have in your home, be it plasma tv, cameras, dvd players, clothings, shoes, fridge, fans, airconds, your mobile phones, etc. are now mostly made in China.

It is not where it is made that makes something a bad product, it is bad quality control that makes something a bad product.

You can bash chinese products as crappy products as you like now, but if you remember it, japanese products were bashed just as badly after they lost the WW II, no one wold want to buy made in Japan as they're basically knock-off copies of American products. But look at what Japanese products has become and evolved to such high quality products over few decades after the grimmy WW II era. In the 80s-90s, all the best are made in Japan. Before China starts to take over, mainly due to cheaper production and labour cost.

India could be next, and who knows when Indian made products become non-economical 40 years from now due to rising cost, Africa might be the next place to invest, and Africa in the future might just as well be just like China today... the economic wheel will keep turning. No region will stay on top of the wheels all the time.

was looking for confirmation after greddy/trust is told goin bankrupt as well following apexi, and as i hadn't been tinkering with any turbos since I sold my trusty old R33 gtst long time ago, I couldn't believe the rumours. should have checked the dates though.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
