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!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
