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?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
