dennis is a top bloke & tells you like it is. i know he doesnt buy from the auctions he has a guy in japan who checks out the cars locally and when the cars arrive he gets the front bars etc sprayed and detailed looking neat.

He is abit pricey but seems to have the goods, i nearly bought a gtr off him but it sold on the way there and it had to be the cleanest gtr i have ever seen.

I am yet to find another one (its been 2months now) in midnight purple ..such a hard color to find a r33 in !

all the best with the r34

bought both my 33 and 34 from dennis, top bloke, never had issues with either. both motors were modded and handled it prefectly. never had an issue. also hes always a great help if i was searching for replacement parts and odds and ends.

i bought my r33 gtst off Japcars. they seemed like good honest blokes, the car was stock but very very clean, it spoke for itself.

+1 on a bit pricey, but they did throw in my 100k service for free, and it's worth paying extra (compared to some of the other examples i had seen)

ps. what mustang do you have?

these guys are very good. my r32 gtst came from there. was one of the cleanest 32s i've ever come across. most of their cars that i have seen there are totally clean! good luck on the purchase

i bought my r34 from him and he was very good, it came with a couple mods on it which were great plus he changed the coilpacks with ones called supersparks because the originals were beggining to missfire. but unfortunatly these failed last month for some reason so i have splitfires now.

great guy id deal with him again in the future.

*raise hand* oh oh oh. I TOTALLY have the most recent experience.

My R33 Series 3 GT-R was bought from Dennis and the boys at JapCars. Had a minor incident with the AFM, and i stress, very minor, but they took care of it for me without a hassle the moment i brought it back in.

Personally i love it there, cars are all clean and quality, service is always friendly - both from Dennis and from the mechanics that work there.

Would definitely buy from them again.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
