Its Japan.. many companies in Japan are up the spout at the moment and have been for a while. Just look at the value yen at the moment, currently sitting on about 80 = $1AUD..whereas not too long ago our $ would have only been valued at something around 60. Its good for us in a way, shows our country is doing well compared to some.. hopefully it stays that way.

I think a lot of the production of new and exciting new cars and performance parts will be held back I think for a long while to come. They'll be around, but not quite at the level of the 90's

I wonder if those rumours stem from the US branch of Apex?

My wife called the Osaka Head Office of Apex and they assured (in Japan at least) us that doing business with them, or any one of they're re-sellers would be sound.

To answer your question though, the regional offices (US and Korea) will close before anything happens in Japan. But thats unlikely. For now....

Your all right though, the economy here is worrying to say the least, but the best part about it all is that maybe, juuuuust maybe, the Aussie dollar will hit 80yen to the dollar, then we can all have Weds Sport SA-90 rims on our cars...

Btw, the name is registered here as "Apex" (pronounced A-pe-ku-su) with no "i". I know the "i" is meant to mean "integration", but thats US only.

This sucks,

The more companies/devauation of japans currency = The less likely the next GTR will be out soon or come out at a descent price.

Im hoping the r35 revitalises NISSAN and starts a new technologically driven performance generation far ahead of the current status :D

Then i hope toyota design a new supra so the GTR atleast has some competition!

Tommy Kiara (spelling???) has gone bust, sold its design/jigs etc  to that little SR powered Roadster to a pommie company.  

It would seem things are tough in Japna at the moment.

thats crappie! i was saving to get one of there RS1s', all this is not so good for the new parts side of things, but with the almost 80 yen = to $1 aus its all good for us to import more and more or at least afford some of the newer items from these companies...i say every one shop away...

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
