Ok 1 week ago on a Friday i had my car booked into Boostworx for Shaun and Troy to do my 5 stud conversion it was there all day and they did an ace job in the middle i had to go get a filter for an oil change as Troy didn't know that was being done and didn't get one there earlier,

on the drive to the shop i heard some what i thought was bad bearing noise told Troy about it and he took it for a test drive to hear it also

that caused him to take to wheel off and on a couple of times till he sorted it :D

well left there a very happy customer

that leads me to today coming home i pressed to brakes for a longer period and hard and it was fine then went to the floor i was a little shocked as you could imagine so let off and tried again press and worked for a little then went to the floor and nothing, so for very short braking was fine but over use and it went to the floor :)

i went straight to Everlast Mufflers to see if Justin could put it on the hoist and we could have a gander, well to my amazement my brake line was resting on my rim and being cut in two by my rim.

i rang Shaun up and told him my predicament and he remembered seeing the other side close to the rim and fixed that up but said that side was fine but concluded that when we dropped the car off the hoist it must have moved, so i paused and let him continue to speak and he said well i can ring up JIS (see banner's for URL) and get you the part he asked if i was handy with a tool and could fit it my self i said prolly and he said well if you need to get someone to do the labour he would foot the bill also (what a champ)

ok bare in mind this conversation is happening 15 mins from 5pm most businesses closing times so i got off the phone from Shaun and rang up JIS by now its 4:50pm i asked when he shut and confirmed that Shaun rang him and told him about the brake line, he claimed they shut at 5pm but i could be lucky and someone would still be there till 5:30 so this was when i actually told him about the brake line and if he could remain open, this was fine :ermm: 2x champs

i get to JIS and see a youngish oriental guy name Cosey and he comes and takes a look @ my car and we get the parts and i go to him shouldn't take too long to fit? i asked him if i could borrow some tools and got to work, whilst talking about a few parts that i also need :D so all in all he helped me bleed the brakes and i was done by about 6:15, i asked him how much for his time and labour not that he did anything and he said dont worry just pay for the part to which Shaun was paying for

he said just remember to tell all my mates about Japanese Import Spares now i know a lot of you guys may of already heard of them and what not but now here is your good reason to go see him for a price

sorry for the big ass storey but this is to help people realise this is why i will drive past 40+ workshops from St Agnes and wait 4 weeks to go and see Shaun and Troy

yeah Iam sure many on this forum would agree Shaun/Troy are good lads. Have been taking my cars there for over 2 years now and always been happy with the service. If there is the slightest of issues they are more then happy to have it sorted for you asap aswell, they definetly dont dick there customers around.

Luke ENR they also have some R34 Brembos :D i thought of your but dont know if your getting from Japan still

Thanks steve. They are very tempting for $2500 Shame theres that mark on the caliper :ermm:

Got 4days till i find out if i get these http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f69003457

I bought 2 gtr boxes and a s13 box from jap import spares, anyway had then checked out quickly (read very f**king slowly don't get me started on these guys) by a gearbox specialist and one had some crunchy bearings in it, they swapped it over no questions asked, good service.

I have found generally they are priced quite cheaply, sometimes their new stuff is a bit dear if you know other places to look but other stuff i got from there is well priced.

Agreed Shaun and Troy(hey also dont forget Adzy) are all top blokes, speaking of which went down there today to book the Risty in for a service, I wont say when im booked in for :P It pays to know them well and race with them....... :( As long as they are in Business i will still go there!!

Yeh i have also found that JIS and JMS seem to be the only decent parts joints around, well 2nd hand parts joints anyways!!

Glad you got your stuff sorted Steve!!

Yeah been to JIS a few times.

Let me stuff around with my brakes in the shop etc.

Live one block away from them.

gotta say tho, not the cheapest in prices. $350 for a stock ECU . I got quoted $250 somewhere else. In the end got one for $100.

Guess thats not all parts tho

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
