Not sure if this has been posted, but word on the street is Trust is bankrupt, god lets hope not, i so want a t88-38gk one day..

Taken from gtr.co.uk

Greddy /Trust JP important annoucement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greddy ./Trust is going into adminstration we have been informed.

Therefore if anyone would like Greddy/Trust parts now is the time to order before certain parts of their catalogue or indeed the lot is discontinued

we have both reliable sources in japan who have confirmed this

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Happened this morning and found out at around 10AM JP time.

We found out with a rather large order that is being delayed.

Was a good and bad heads up i suppose.

The stigma is always that they will close up shop and nothing will be available.

This is generally not the case. The company is held up a little while the situation is evaluated by the Japanese government or 3rd party investigators usually within a couple of months and items will then steadily become available again much like Apexera hopefully after they applied for Minjisaiseiho and came out of it to some extent.

BTW we have the T88 34GK kit in stock :).

I hope so aswel, sucks the way you find out is a large shitment. I wonder what other surprises the coming years have with two of the big tuners falling on hard times..

I'm not surprised at all that they and their competitors would be in trouble. The days of big sales of tuneable cars were over 10 years ago, and 90% of people buy no-name stuff from china, not name stuff from japan that they get made in china.

Although it's true that many Japanese branded parts are in fact, made from China, Sth Korea or where ever, some products are still manufactured from Japan as well.

All that matters is that i have been dealing directley with TRUST japan for close to 6 years, all orders up untill yesterday, now and pending are all being honored and honestley they are trading like business is usual in fact i have about 6k in parts leaving anyday.... and other orders for parts have been despatched over the past few days like nothing even happened....

Both Trust japan and Greddy Oceania were at my workshop last week discussing future bussiness, so at this stage i would not panic.

Trust Japan has released a blog post and update on the official website in response to the incorrect bankruptcy news yesterday.

"In the response Trust sincerely apologised for the concern and impact of the news, but confirmed that proceedings are underway under the Japanese Civic Rehabilitation Law.

As previously reported, Trust assured that there will be no impact to part availability or development in the forseeable future. Trust organised events in Japan will continue on schedule and the company pleaded for continual customer loyalty and confidence.

We are happy to report this news and provide confidence for the purchase of Greddy products. In fact, in this troubled time purchasing Greddy products may prevent any future hard times for one of the largest companies in the Japanese industry"

Completely agree with URAS...

Just had the Rep from Greddy Oceania in our buisness yesterday aswell discussing deals and he confirmed the govt is going to be helping keep the company going and get it back on track. So all is not lost and seems that things will be back to normal soon!

Cheers Pete (BOOSTA)

I heard they got sick of people calling them greedy instead of greddy and are going to close up shop... slap.gif

lol i noticed that too.. surprised it wasnt mentioned when thread was made..

Hey Shaun,

Got this off wiki..

"The name originated from two words "GREAT" and "Eddy," as in a strong swirling wind current. Relating to the strong swirling intake air of a turbocharger, which the GReddy brand was designed for."

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
