tomei all the way! no complaints with my fuel pump so far. its internal

tomei are indeed another notch up from the nismo/044 series. great for track but overkill for street cars (unless yr doing 400kw+ lols)

fyi DI, the stock gtr pump should be able to do 260-280 safely, possibly more if u have an FPR (so I've been told at least, i know my car has done 260 kw on unsafe boost with stock injectors, pump and fpr)

-D

If you have the money, go a nismo

I have a Nismo.....

vs

http://www.nengun.com/tomei/fuel-pump-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr $398

not a great deal but maybe I'll grab the tomei rather than the nismo :D provided it bolts up the same!

a decent rabbit stew is pretty good. you'd want rabbit (aka hare/coney) mind you, bunnies are too small

Rabbit Stew Yo

really good winter food that

had a great kangaroo steak the other day from the butcher.... i overcooked the shite out of it, was wicked. i used to love making stirfry kangaroo steak n veg in black bean when i was living by myself heh. dont even like beef steak or lamb chops but kangaroo tastes wild. stinks like rotting flesh when its uncooked tho, thats the only downside. you defrost a kangaroo steak and ur mates ask u if you've killed a prostitute and buried her under the kitchen. not cool eh

Damo/Allllllll of SAU, longtime no talk :D .

I have a crapload of high res skyline pics from various shows and many of jacks 33, and just heaps of skyline photos in general. What sort of pics are ya after? ;)

Hey Chaz, im after club group shots, and maybe a couple of your fave skyline shots. Have you hosted any online?

Quite awhile ago, my cousins had the bunnies that are meat kind, the ones bred so you can eat them. Well, long story short, since my cousins are female, they got too attached and couldn't bare to have them killed and then eat them.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
