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?

KKR are ass. Cheap, laggy, etc.

"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:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
