Re: D1 Website

Quote from the Site:

We have over 20 years experience in performance vehicle tuning, drag racing, drift and circuit, both in Japan and Australia.

My Brother is only 27, how can he have that experience??? He also isnt interested in Drags and Curcuit and he never did either of them in Japan??

1 of my mate own a performance shop in hk, so i am thinking of importing parts, as it's even cheaper than Japan, if i can match the prices of Greenline, but offer people of choice sending by sea(save a lot from postage), plus i might able to get them tax free or a bit less (if u purchase from them, u have to pay 15% to the custom and 10%GST) will u guys order from me?

well, i match the price of Greenline, they seems to be the cheapest i seen in Aus. But i offer cheaper post method and paying less tax http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine

If u can get a qoute cheaper than greenline, let me know, i think i still can match it. First, i should get parts cheaper than them, second, i am not a shop, i don't support my living by selling parts....

for how long they arrive aus. that's all depends on the post office... the sooner u want, the more postage u pay.

if people are interest, i might start organise something about it.

EMS postage from Japan for 6 injectors only cost me 31 dollars, and I know when its arriving as they have a tracking number, so its not a big expense.

Its ok to buy stuff from os - god knows I do, but that is if you want new, and you can fit it your self - If it was something that I couldnt fit myself, I personally would buy it local and get them to fit as well, may cost a few extra $$, but at least you have peace of mind and a guaranteed result.

Also for second hand and hard to find parts, you can see what you are getting and if it doesnt work you have a comeback.

Good and bad on both sides I guess

Lastly IMO if it is only a couple of dollars more to buy local, why not support adelaide business? They put something back into the community.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
