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!

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
