ummm..

1. convert to manual

2. drive it ;)

oh and doesn't risbey compliance em for ya? oh and also make sure you ask him about the taxes (that you pay on the car when purchasing) that youre supposed to get refunded once the car is deregistered in japan to be shipped OS

You could ask mr risbey himself, he's on the forums.

Probably get it serviced...general stuff like oil, coolant, brakes, gear box oil etc. Thoe the importer usally does some of those thing i rather make sure they are done. Also you may want to pop it on a dyno for a quick run to check what power it is making and to see if everything A/F ratios are okay..maybe get the timing checked and ajusted to our fuels.

Put a massive Greddy sticker on the side; you know, the ones with three oblique gauges, a couple of neons under it and just pimp about...

/apologizes for stupid suggestions/

umm... just like what RedLineGTR suggested; full service then don't modify it; just enjoy it and learn the car for a few weeks...

yes i agree with the other dudes drive the car dont be stupid in it just have a bit of a drive then when you get in the car and think to yourself i know its quick compared to other cars but it kinda feels slow to me then start to mod it performance wise. if that is what you want to do. most people like to make theirs faster but dont feel pressured if you want to keep it stock do it. in the mean time if you want to spend money on it whilst just driving and getting the feel maybe if you want it louder get a cat back exhaust, if you want induction noise put in a pod+partition. and 1 major thing get an alarm system, and get a decent one, you get what you pay for.... if the windows arent tinted tint them! dark as hell on the back legal limit on the front tint the rear as dark as physically possible.....

;) g/l with the car :)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
