Hey Rezz,

As you said you'll provide alternative parts from those big brand jap names Apex Trust HKS, etc... so I got a question...

What kind of (any) electronic boost controller that you cater for? Are there more out there beside AVC-R/HKS EVC/Greddy SBC?

Thank's for ur time. G'luck with the new venture.

Very good question... I was wondering when someone might ask this.

Basically, Apex (in paticular) as well as HKS, Trust etc have the car electronics side of things tied up. No other "unknown brands" really produce anything up to par. Sure, plenty of Garages produce their own pre-programmed ROM or sports ECU`s, but they don`t sell them unless they fit them... pretty hard if your not in Japan.

So until an "unknown brand" produces a good boost controller or AFC or Programmable ECU, it`s best that you buy one of the big name brands.

Pivot is out there though isn`t it? I`m still hanging out for M2 to bring out there electronics goods... (drool)

By the way, *M2* is the new super brand from Japan. These guys are unstoppable. They`ve gone from a little Titanium muffler for an EG Civic a few years back, to a complete (growing) line-up of super low-price goods, eg: A$285 (each) 17"x9.5" deep-dish alloy wheels... all developed in-house. It`s like they bring out a new product each month.

Rezz;

Super idea concentrating on the so called 'no name brands' as opposed to the big names...i have a feeling the prices will be very tempting. Just one question, are we able to obtain technical data to compare these products with big name products?

Good luck in your adventure and hope to do business with you soon.

Regards.

Thanks Jetdat, much appreciated!

As far as technical data is concerened, I`m pretty much at the whim of magazines like Option2 and Drift Tengoku to do independent tests of the products I deal with. So far, they`ve just tested 3 or 4 cheap brands against each other, not against the big name brands though.

I well aware that sometimes cheap = nasty, so I`ve screened everything before putting it on my website. So basically, if it isn`t vale for money and/or doesn`t improve performance/increase the driving experience, then I don`t want to sell it.

Hi Rezz, good luck with the venture - I am sure it will go well:)

While I am here, I have been looking everywhere for an oil filter adaptor and/or filter remote locator (annodised preferrabley), that can be used with an oil cooler and has a built in thermostat (or oilstat) It is driveing me nuts as they just dont seem avaible anywhere! Any chance you have seen or can get?

Also looking for an overfloor brace that goes between the seat belt points in a skyline, doluck make them but the are bloody expensive.

Sorry I couldnt wait for the website, I am just getting excited.

Cheers

Steve

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
