OK this is a shameless plug for a business (mods please dont get too angry) - we gotta get behind the local businesses, 'cos if its good for them, its good for us:)

D1 Garage has opened its doors a few weeks ago. Owned by James Vahoumis, he has been around for a while but has decided to give things a shot on his own

He's a pretty helpful guy (as is Richard, who is working for him) and has heaps of experience in Japan and australia.

I have got a couple of things (twin plate, zorst, pillar pod, guage, cams and cam gears) - he is really competative and has a pretty good range of second hand gear.

So if you need something, give them a call (8294 1355) or visit at 120 Mooringe ave N. Plympton. - definately worth a look if your out that way.

end plug :(

man that's harsh even for a joke .... nice effort for a first try .... it's a long and complicated process .... made much easier nowadays by the various programs out there - you dont have to do the hard work manually inputting html like I learnt to when I was at Uni!

Nightcrawler, nah its cool, I'm used to it from hippy - just cant help himself, but he gets as good as he gives :D

Why be scared hippy - do you find old men scary? did you have a bad experience in your youth that your not telling anyone about? go to a catholic school eh?

Ahhh, just cant help it. sorry if I offended any catholics.

by the way, if anybody wants anything from Japan, James is over there at the moment, so if you ring the shop they can get in touch with him for any special orders - hopefully I got me some Bride brix seats coming:D

Well he told me probably around 1K for 2 seats with rails landed- second hand but in very good (like new) condition. Spose it depends on what he ends up getting them for, but with the yen weaker against the dollar, I'm hoping it will be less rather than more.

What do Faz toys do/sell?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
