Anyone Need Some Pallet Space? Japan -> Australia


Recommended Posts

My friend is back in Japan for the next 6 weeks for Uni Holidays. She will be packing up my 2 sets of track wheels for me and sending them back to Australia. If anyone wants to share some pallet space let me know and I will forward you her contact details. I think there will be room for a couple more sets of wheels on my pallet.

She does not want lots of questions from timewasters. She can help people that have bought big items from Yahoo auctions etc and dont know how to get them back to Australia. I think she will be doing some pallets for other people but its all being charged to my TNT account so I will be able to give some guide price as TNT charge me.

She does have a forklift at her Fathers business in Japan for loading pallets but she does not want to be doing very heavy items (Engines, Gearboxes) as its not worth the effort (Unless you want to make it worth it for her)

Parts would need to be sent to Tochigi (2 Hours from Tokyo)

My pallet is coming to Brisbane, and she is doing a couple to Goldcoast for someone else. These are coming AIRFREIGHT so wont be cheap but will be fast (Within 2 weeks)

I had an RB26 HKS Crank, a set or KTS Coilovers and some smaller parts just sent over and the total was 62kg

I was charged $700 by TNT which I didnt think was very cheap as it was a small package.

EMS(Air Mail) is not much more expensive. 62kg would cost $820 but the problem with EMS is the maxium of 20kg per parcel and the Crank was 26kg so I had to use TNT

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
