Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

he may be trying to get the car complied... in which case there are a whole lot more hurdles you need to jump threw, 1 of them being and english owners manual

There would be a lot of JDM only cars that wouldn't have a english owners manual. For instance there isn't a 1JZ english workshop manual in existance so i highly doubt that there would be english owners manuals for any 1JZ equiped cars when there aren't workshop manuals.

Also there are no english owners manuals for 180sx's there are english owners manuals for 200sx's and 240sx both of which are the same car but none for an actual 180sx.

Dale, my 100 came with a 'owners manual' as it was a test car. It was all of about 5 pages basically saying 'put petrol in the petrol tank, oil in the engine and coolant in the radiator'. Just another stupid 'rule' to make it that little bit harder to import.

Also, while we're reliving the days of REAL comedy on TV...

Thank you to everyone concerned for my welfare. When a Jap import is registered in SA for the first time, our lovely inspectors go over the Consumer Information Notice (paperwork from the compliance workshop) and cross check that everything is done exactly as is written, right down to the brand of tyres and the sizes. Mine said on the paperwork it had a translated English manual and it didn't so I fail. I'm sure you can imagine the phone call to the workshop after that one - it's coming down overnight via Express Post...

Yep, as Chef pointed out when every car is complied in Aus it MUST have an English manual supplied. Mine was a 10 page photocopied and stapled pos, but meets the letter of the law.

Andrew, from what I gather, you don't have to have one unless it has been mentioned in the Consumer Information Notice compiled by the compliance workshop.

In other words, Regency are nit-picking and should be blown up!

^^^Pretty much.

As I was saying to the girl behind the counter at the ID inspection place (who I later found out had had her own car impounded at one point haha), the Cedric will be a much nicer car once its about a foot lower, has a guard roll and has the 19s on. (Stich Kamfer, 19x8.5 and 9.5 +26 all round, ex-Japan, for the wheel Nazis...)

This one may be up for sale sooner than I thought - it turns out that buying a car and forgetting to tell your wife is not a wise thing to do...

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
