Exp of Interest: Going to Japan, get your orders in ...


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys n Gals,

Hopefully at the end of this month I'll be embarking on a trip to Japan for a week or two. Whilst overseas I'm more than happy to purchase a selection of performance goods for people as long as they're small and light in weight.

I was thinking PowerFC's & SAFC's (brand new any model) & Injectors, but if anyone else has ideas please let me know.

This trip will be at the start of November so I need to get an idea quickly of the sort of enthusiasm out there.

Of course, once it's established what people want I'll be speaking with my contact that I'll be staying with in Japan to work out the cost of the items is so that pre-orders can be made (I'm not made of $$$ !) .....

Please register your interest here and what you'd be thinking about. Remeber, try and keep it sensible ...

This must be arranged before the end of October so please be quick with your reponse.

To anyone doubting my sincerity or motives, I've been here since the start of SAU and I'm not likely to run to Mexico with your cash. If you have any doubts please feel free to ask around the forum , many have met me, many know where I live and I doubt I'd get far :P

Any other questions please ask away.

Cheers,

James.

G'day James,

How ya going?

I can just see it now, you boarding the flight back with a suitcase full of PFC's :) And you saying to the custom's guys 'their all for personal use sir ! ' :)

But seriously, would be interesting what sort of price you could get a Power FC Pro for (for a R33 GTS-t).

Cheers

Just wanted to gauge interest. I will more than likely limit the goods based on a first come first serve basis.

I will be travelling with friends to "spread the load" so to speak ... as far as I'm aware however with boxes flattened neatly in the suitcase backing ... I purchased them second hand for friends as presents .. at most they were $200 each :) and this would be assuming that they even bother to check the suitcase.

3 PFC's in a laptop bag with a laptop could fool me as harddrives ... get my drift :)

I am keen for some 550cc injectors, top feed (for a GTI-R SR20 - not the same as 'normal side feed' SR20's).

Let me know how much.

Thanks,

Richard

Just to keep track I'll be postg interest shown in the first post ..

Prices will be confirmed and posted shortly, good to see the interest so far .. keep it coming.

As mentioned previously I will be travelling with mates which means that we can easily get around 4 PFC's through each ... so will limit PFC's to around 12-15 total, injectors unsure.

Muz, sorry mate, restricting the purchase to high price items that we can get considerable discount on. I wont have time to run around grabbing nick-nacks.

I'll put you down for interest on a PFC+HC for an R34 GTT yeh ?

Hey James, Hows it going? Havent been on much since the OCAU dyno day. Im also interested in a PowerFC + HC if you think you would have room left for one more. R33 GTST.

Also you selling your intercooler yet?? hehe

My car has been off the road for about a month now as it had a brief romance with a guard rail down the coast. Panel beaters sure are busy around these parts :)

Sewid : Mate, long time no see !! Sorry to hear about the car and hope it's not too costly. I'll pop you down for goodies mate, as I said, I'll be going with 2 other guys so the more the merrier.

As for the intercooler, not as yet, and the sideskirts are still holding up despite the hole in one :)

Muz : done and done.

Thanks. I wonder what the price is going to be, obviously you wont know until you're in Japan.

My car shouldnt cost too much to fix. I have source all the parts off the forums already. Love these forums for parts. Just got to get the f'ing panel beaters to get around to doing my car.

Anyway ttyl

Hey there,

Wow, so nice of you to offer your help for fellow skyliners. Thank you for your help.

All I want is a turbo timer. Now I know I'm in Melb, but I'm kinda strapped for cash right now, so if it ends up to be cheaper, I'll still would appreciate your assitance. The one I want,

Blitz Dual/FATT DC Turbo timer

OoOo, so nice ricey illumination white face, dash thingi like http://nismo.com.au/pricelists/r33gauge_.jpg would be cool too. You know the one that fits a GTST. Hmm, maybe asking a bit much there.

Still Jimbo, tell me if thats possible.

Thanks!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
