It's less risky when you use a broker who knows what they are doing and have the right contacts in Japan. Keep in mind though that things can still happen that are out of their control as well.

I'd buy another car through Kristian (Iron Chef Imports) without hesitation, although I'm trying to cut down on the whole buying of cars thing :3some: (18 in 6 years is a bit excessive).

its deff something you wanna spend some time reasearching unlike my stupid bro that tried importing a car to have it sit on the docks. we tried getting it in as as a race car only and they still shut it down based on -does not meet aus safty standards

hey Penny, a guy i work with (he is on here but dont think he posts much) is looking to get a turbo conversion done to his 34 GT. he has a workshop lined up, and all the info. i can get him to get in touch wit u if ur keen?

Yeah that would be great thanks!

Will be good to compare my options, cheers :3some:

KKR are ass. Cheap, laggy, etc.

You be the judge:

"I just bought a KKR turbo, installed it and now I hear a whining sound when it comes on boost..."

"I have a KKR turbo and when I hit boost, there's a cloud of white smoke behind me?"

"I just bought a KKR turbo. Then my wife left me. Then I heard a metal clanging sound when it hit boost?"

And the topics just roll on...

i donno, there's alot of good and bad in all those posts.

to be quite honest, when i drive the silvia, she gets one HELL of a beating. and that turbo has gone through hell but its kicking pretty strong still.

i guess i cant give a full comment about the kkr as mine's a cross bred with garret and the wategate has been sorted out already but im pretty happy with my 1.8ltr turbo that can stomp a 6ltr v8 :3some:

too much in this thread to pick apart everything specially on 64k and now I've had too choose the PDA skin to try and optimise load times

someone made mention of sensible's im guessing you mean the one on OG rd, that's where i bought my car and had no drama's had snapped turbo manifold studs got them replaced had worn rear brakes got them replaced bought the car without driving it only hearing the engine NOT because they wouldn't let me drive it but i didnt want to fall in love with the car and have finance fall through

Ben - this should hit that itchy spot

SpaghettiSpoon467Three.jpg:3some:

hrrmmm cars been in the workshop for a month or so now and i'm feeling withdrawl symptoms :woot:

I hear ya. the gtr has spent almost a week of the last month at the mechanics getting loads of stuff done... *sigh*

The angst of owning an import haha

-D

what's happening to yours?

so far i've had major service (timing belt, tensioner kit) n1 water pump, isc radiator, new hosing and nissan coolant installed, i got brakes and pads on order and after that i'll be putting in N1 turbos and a new gearbox... its currently there getting a cracked heater core hose repaired... fun stuff

-D

nice

Im off soon to pick up my ordered sparkies, and to grab a 30%-angled thermalflex ply silicone joiner hose + a cple tbolt clamps

finishing off the piping properly, then might get a mandrel bent 2-piece copy made of the intercooler piping system Ive tee'd up

also put mesh around the front of the bar, looks amazing TBH :woot:

(cut bottom of day bar, big fmic tucked behind black mesh)

then dropping off the missus for her last wrist surgey (carpel tunnel, right wrist a success after 7 weeks, so here goes

hope Pokie has a good birth today

our friend had little Jye last week, nice boy to join 2 sisters

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
