Has Anyone Heard Of A Company Called Power Craft?


Recommended Posts

What are you trying to find out..? Got any pictures..?

I think you're wishing a little too much. Unless the car is some fully built piece of work, i doubt they'll have that much info/let alone remember it without it being something significant.

Think about it this way.. A Japanese guy calls a little Australian tuning shop to ask about a skyline thats more than 10 years old to ask whether they know what has been done to it. What do you think the answer is going to be?

Don't wanna be negative but i don't know about your chances. Unless its like the Mines car posted above...

In saying that, i've been rong before (woops there i go again) I've been wrong before, so give us some more info!

Geez how long have you slackers been in Japan? Can't key in a simple katakana phrase for the poor lad and check the first 10 odd results? tsk tsk :D

tbag, I think this is the mob you're after: http://www1.ocn.ne.jp/~p-craft/

They're way over in Yamaguchi ken and I don't know anything about them, but if you look at the owners gallery they all sorts of cars but specializing in Skylines. Well at least you got some contact details now... but I agree with Poida, good luck in asking them for info on something they did up to 5+ years ago...

i totally disagree with you pete.

hes a gaijin. TICK.

ordered a hypo motor. TICK

paid in cash too!! TICK

get a grip mate. Buisness owners dont forget customers especially when it comes to these matters and you should know. Ive helped build ferrari,bmw and mercedes donks and ive never forgotten the face ( or in the companies case, the name ) of the guy who owns the motor. i could do an etch-a-sketch for you right now if you like!! :nyaanyaa::D;)

Because I've been around here (Japan and SAU) long enough to know better. Think about it...

??? I answered his question?

Yeah righty-o... *pat* *pat* :laughing-smiley-014:

Wait a minute.. its 5:30am and i realised just how little sense that made.

If hes a gaijin and ordered a hypo motor from said company and paid cash (not sure about that one) then why would he want to know their web address?! You'd think he'd find that first, then get the company to do the work....? *scratches head*... I'm confused..

Well anyway, i gotta go to work, so we'll leave it at that for now.. now wheres my pat on the back?

lol, he just said he knows nothing about this company. I think the logical assumption here is that he has bought/imported a car (either in aus, uk canada where ever). the owner/broker/seller has sold him a line about the car having a 'built' motor, and look here's a sticker on the car as proof... lol so now he wants to try and find out what's in this phantom build. I agree with rezz there is almost a snowballs chance, but it's worth having a go anyway. :D

haven we already established its a motorbike engine?

and regardless of whether or not he paid cash, blah blah..

if he wants to make an enquiry then whats the problem? still, i think his only problem will be communicating to the company.

pete you and rezz gave the guy the spanish inquisition.

you dont see my point...yours is even more unclear.

anyway, hes got his IP. end of story...

oh and rezz ive been around the block here a while myself. I think i know the score. ;):D

lol. have you been smoking the ol wacky backy? He has a skyline GTR, he's on skylines australia and the company in question doesn't appear to have anything to do with building motor bikes. my point was i can be 90% sure he's not in japan, and he didn't buy the engine himself, or pay cash at power craft to have it built. It was almost certainly in a car he's bought overseas.

and like I said there is no problem with trying, but you cut rezz in half for what seemed like pretty reasonable advice to me.

not true. I may be smoking weed but you havent read the thread.

did you not see laurences post or do you just have selective reading skills? The guy came on here to ask about a motorcycle engine.

jeez...

nice picture pete, gave me a right old giggle.

oh by the way, richard, you may be enlightened if you read the guys profile...

it was his first post. just cause the dude has "r32 gtr" written in his profile does that mean you instantly believe him? heck, i have a gallardo, enzo, macF1, ...

you should see my stable!

lol, laurence was being sarcastic. and on your advice I did just look at the guys profile and in it is a picture of an RB26, and it looks a lot like the ones on power craft (same colour rocker covers basically). and he didn't mention motor bike engines? you did!

I will make you a deal. when the dude comes back on-line we'll ask him. if it's for his GTR you owe me a few tokyo beers, if it's about a motor bike engine I'll be buying the beers, i'll even chuck in some ramen and gyoza afterwards. :D

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
