yes this is my final post from o/s however i just wanted to let you guys know what i stumbled across today by total accident. the nismo international headquatres/ tuning house.

it was so ****ing cool, things were so cheap there anyone that buys any nismo product in australia is being ripped off. i managed to buy a few things :D there were so many gtrs around that place it wasnt funny. they sold everything there, i spent 28000 yen there. oh you know the nismo keys that are for sale around the place for i think 100 dollars or something they cost me about 18 dollars australian. stickers were so cheap also, also little nismo badges for the car where cheap, nismo oil caps, fuel filler caps, radiator caps all cheap. gear knobs cheap, cigarette lighters cheap. its a pitty i didnt have more money and space as they had a few nice dash clusters!!!!!!

oh and another rad thing about the place is they had a workshop there where you could watch out the window. i had a galnce and there was an r32 gtr, r33 gtr and before i was about to leave what did i hear i wasnt sure so i turned around and the nicest r34 gtr i have ever seen was driven in. I was like whoaa and the lady who i was trying to talk with was like whoa as wel, a customers car, nice car ,nice...... it was an awesome place.

for anyone that is going to tokyo get of at shimbaya(spelling) station and go and check this place out, have plenty of cash ready also. oh i took many photos of this place including all the cars, so i will post them up when i get back....

^peace

I was like that with all the cheap car stuff in taiwan!

But u can only bring in a certain amount of stuff like that otherwise customs rape u and make u pay import tax on the stuff!

I sent most of the stuff i bough overseas, clothes comp stuff etc through DHL and u gotta declare stuff with them to.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
