NO NO, All Jap Day is where its at yo'

small car sunday turned into Auto salon. fail.

i love the selection process for AJD.

best part was my mates 32 being refused, was the best lol i ever had,he was cut deep.. lets see if you can

spot the fails, new game.

chromies and aftermarket front bumper, side skirts and rear pods...

while its not my personal style, I dont see the problem with it ? Unless they want to have a show for cars which arent show cars, in which case they should call it 'all boongers day'

Yer, its a mate and i shouldnt pay out his personal taste, but he honeslty could not understand

why he didnt get accepted. its clear they wanted JDM styles, and stuck to

it, which is why i think the show was successful :)

yer i know i had aussie made fail rims on my old yacht, but i like to learn the hard way.

and i did.

so you're saying a beat up pos 20 yr old gtr in stock trim and rims would get preference over a gourmet pimped out 33 with chromies and kit?

man. some people are picky. i dont understand that. if theyre that anal, I should enter my mums toyota seca. its japanese. its fwd. its stock. its 6 years old. f**k. why not eh? I'll have to remove all the shit in the back seat but hey, can I win a trophy?

Any pimped out car with gay body kit and chromies fails. I'd rather a factory bog stocker 32/33/34 than some pimped out ugly distastefully modded pos!

nothing wrong with aftermarket kit, but the wheels, whitewalls and the standard height (to an extent) would have ruled the car out. and it has nothing to do with show cars. whos to say that car is a show car and a mint condition S1 RX7 isnt. my silvia is a show car i guess and thats been accepted every year. its not so much cars have to be done JDM style, as theres a lot of stock clean jap cars there. they are just against distasteful mods.

i actually remember that aqua skyline at the kadina show last year, and i heard someone say hes hoping for the best jap award ppfffftttttt!!!!! haha hes seriously kidding himself and setting him self up for a major reality check. sorry if u guys are mates with him lol.

thats the way the show is run, and the main reason its so successful. if u dont like it, take it up with the AJD committee. this is one of the main reasons SCS failed over the years. no screening of cars and a lot of junk getting in.

Gotta say I agree with Dohmar here...

I can see these any day at Colonnades carpark....

they are just against distasteful mods. In whose opinion? Sounds like the door bitch at the night clubs.... and we all want to slap her.

the opinion of anyone with remote taste in modifying cars. white walls and chromies, umm someone tell the dude a skyline isnt a commo.. or is it.

u dont have to agree with anything ive said, but the vast majority of the SA car scene does, and hence the success of AJD. the only people kicking up a stink are the ones with distastefully modded cars who dont get accepted.

I agree with steveP. Some have this fked up idea that a car cannot be stock whatsoever, so in order to modify it they will distastefully mod with a cheap gay bodykit and chromies. Tasteful mods can be done and done reasonably cheaply, why there are some out there that deliberately choose the ugliest kits and wheels is beyond me. However I'm not arrogant enough to think that mine is the only opinion that counts or that my own car is even remotely hot.... so each to their own.

I've asked it before and will again.... why spend money on a car to make it look worse than a stocker?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
