I can't vouch for the service, but while I was looking for my GTV, I went into the yard at Nagoya ( and workshop ) and had a "GOOD" look around with Alex's counterpart ( Alex was out ) and all I can say is..... :thumbsup:

And since I'm not allowed to say anything bad about anyone on a public forum, re-arange the followng words to create the correct sentance: back. odo's All blatently wound were cars :banana:

Well maybe he's cleaned up his act since I was there. Sure sounds like it from what you guys are saying.

When I was there I saw cars with rust, oil leaks, faded paint, faded interiors, repaired accident damage etc etc showing 64,000km. :(

One of the car's that I saw that day ( in that condition ) was purchased by someone on this forum. He had owned it for about 2 months when I next saw it, and it was all patched up and buffed up then, but it was easy to spot the issues since I knew where and what they were.

I guess at the end of the day, let the buyer beware ( no matter who you buy from ) :)

before u go praising them. u might want to wait til you have owned the car for a bit longer then a day. cute little suprises take time to show themself lol. not saying this is the case for you. but i know many people who were full of praises for a certain turbo distributor on this forum, only to be damning the bloke few months later.

nontheless looks clean, and congratz with the buy :P

i had a look at alex's shop aswell about 6 moths ago,,,, i decided not to get a car from him only coz i found a better car for a slightly cheaper price from joel in castle hill....... also i dont care what anyone says.....EVERY 2ND HAND JAP IMPORT HAS ITS ODOMETERS WOUND BACKWARDS!!!!! don't you wonder how a car with 66k KM has a brand new steering wheel, perfect seats, usually a replaced gear knob, yet the window buttons are always worn or the carpet on the door next to the arm rest has seen better days lol.....you cant avoid it so if it sounds good and looks straight and goes hard... thats all you can hope for.....

also my r33 was picked up with 66k Km on the dial..... for christ sake its a 96 model, 12 years old, that means 5,500km per year..... no way... japs that own their own car drive asmuch as we do over here in the cities and in 6 months im up to 75k KM already..... also the original owner wasted money on a full titanium 3.5 inch fujitsubo exhaust, rims, genuwine gtr front bar, expensive air filter and an expensive "but useless in australia soundsytem" but he only drove the car 66k in 12 years...... at the time i was looking for a new car, every dealer i saw had dodgey k's on them... all i could do was pick the best at the time and still to date no probs except a clutch upgrade....

thank god there such good cars

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • 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.
