The P.R.C. (Peoples Replicating Country) make some whizz Jetskis now. Just like Yamaha.... but ...!!

http://www.jetmotor.cn/jetmotor/mtt.asp

You pay ur money, and you pay again.....

I'm agreeing with the others on this. Buy from the people who developed them in the first place, if we don't, R&D will be a thing of the past, as sadly this seems to be the case as cash is counted before quality.

But then again, its only a piece of pipe....!!!!

Personally, I never cease to be amazed by the "el Cheapo" crud that comes out of our need to buy from PRC of late.

i got one of these china copies but off a different supplier. It was pretty good but ive heard enough stories to cover my ass before fitting it.

first thing i did was give it to my mate at an engineering shop to machine all the surfaces flat. then i gave it to Chris at Craved Coatings (forum member - Craved) to sand it flat then powdercoat it. when he was sanding it he found HEAPS of bog so he's cleaning it all out and re-welding it somehow. when i get it back im going to match port it then fit it all up. ive got all my hoses ready to go, im just trying to find a way to fit up the AAC valve to the intake properly.

on a $250 part i chose to spend the extra $150 or so to get it cleaned up and looking pretty. i suggest anyone who buys one of the china copy plenums to at the very least do what ive done for peace of mind.

travis, Please dont' tell me those are the china filters on there mate !

If they are get them off dude before you lose a turbo or worse

what i thought chunchy fake chrome flakes would give me 800kw extra bro lol, yeh dont worry they where only on the for instualation i have some K&N extreme filter on atm wanna get some hks ones.

mr baron, will the trust kit work with my existing trust hard pipe kit?

i will have to bin the airbox, obviously...

sure will big buddy. it compliments the basic trust hard pipe kit. :banana:

dose this also fit the stock afm? as im looking at getting nismo ones... i to also have the hard pipe kit....

yes, the greddy kit comes in 2 different types for 32 GTR. one to suit standard or nismo afms and the other type to suit Z32 AFMs. I've had both kits. the first one was the Z32 kit, and now have the standard afm kit.

nice! were did you buy yours from? cost? do they come with the air filters as well? i all ready have pods...

i still think my stock intake pipeing is sucking shut because when i change gears fast some times it only make 9 10psi instead of 13 which is really a PAIN about 50hp less :cheers:

ok, here's the pics. not surprisingly it's all good. no rough bits inside. no sharp angles where the Y pipes merge. infact it's a very nice transition, with some very nice cutting and welding. the cast pipes are good too. no rough casting, and no misshapen pipes either. also, the plastic bits of the filter are strong and no dags to break off. the filter foam is proper dual density foam and definitely wont disintegrate (though I still think I'll swap for my apexi ones).

(looks ashamed) and i was looking at getting one of these "bolt on kits"...... i thought how could they stuff up something so simple?????

looks like it will have to a greddy kit then, its a pity they are about $1100 + p&h. FOR A FEW PIPES???

although i hear they sound pretty cool when you get up it, anyone confirm this?

..... i thought how could they stuff up something so simple?????

easy- by only being concerned with scamming as many people as possible out of some cash and not giving a flying-f**k about the whole 'fitness for purpose' bit

they are $1100 for a piece of piping because they took the time to develop them from scratch (not by just copying someone else) and they spend the time and money on good materials, qualified and dedicated staff, excellent quality control and top quality materials. and of course our weak aud doesn't help. :down:

they do sound nice I guess.

I picked up 14rwkw through the midrange and 12rwkw in the top end over the stock pipe work, with the T517Z's. Good quality, fit right first time and required no finnishing.

Look great too.. :down:

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
