Just because u heard they are shit doesnt mean they all are. Ive had big fark off excuses for quality built here in aus. Need some data behind that statement Luke. Which brand etc...?

If u buy a brand item like HKS or trust etc chances are it will be top quality and will work no probs. Buying a chinese knockoff then sure it will have problems.

I do believe on an item like an ic kit though if u find one in Aus thats a good price and well built then go for it.

I cant complain about the quality of my just jap special apart from the fact they sent me an rb25 one, fitted alright had to do some modifications to the piping but that was because it was the wrong kit.

All of these chinese knockoffs are killing the market for quality jap parts

how are they killing the market? is it because they work?

clearly if they were shithouse and didnt function properly then they wouldnt be sold, looks like so far a selection of them have been diong the job and people have been buying them cause they are cheap and work ok.

I mean what are you paying for if you get a HKS cooler, is it name, r&d or cost of manufacture. My guess is ALL the mentioned.

There killing the market because you cannot guarantee the quality of Chinese parts, its a gamble if it will work or need mods to work. Everybody buys the cheaper option forcing jap brands to decrease their costs and move to china.

Half of the jap brands are owned by chinese companies and if it continues the big brands such as apexi, trust, hks will have to manufacture their products in China. We will all still have the same parts available just quality will be lower

I knew I studied microeconomics for a reason

I am perfectly happy with my JustJap kit on my R34 .... I had a $1,200 genuine Hybrid kit on my S15 and I can't tell the difference between that and my $300 JustJap one.

I just installed a just jap kit on my car a week ago, quality wise it seemed fine to be and didn't perform any better then the Hydbrid core i had on the car before, only prob i found with it was it fitted really badly.....

I got my fmic through just jap and i haven't found any reason to complain about it. I didn't personally fit it but the guy who did didn't tell me he had to modify it. It does the job for the purpose it was bought for. Depends how much power you want out of your 34 i guess, wouldn't it? Are you intending on taking it down the quarter mile for a 10 sec pass or just want to make it faster?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
