Hello guys, hope you are enjoying your time in Japan!

My name is Grahame King, I operate a vehicle export company based in Chiba, "Fuji Vehicle Export Japan", www.fvej.com I live about 15 minutes from where you are staying in Chiba Minato.

If you all survive the freezing temperatures at Mt Fuji, and make it back to your hotel in one piece, I would be more than happy to pick you up and take you to have a look at an Auction on Thursday (depending on how many of you there are, and how knackered you are from your trip to Fuji san), and maybe try and track down some of those used performance parts you are after.

And of course no trip to Tokyo is complete without a night out in sin city, Roppongi! Give me a call on my mobile on Wednesday night if you are up for it, 090 2465 4561

Best regards,

Grahame

sad to be leaving guys... we are all at the airport yahoo lounge now and surprisingly we didnt exceed the weight limit - funny considering how much stuff every brought.

Will be good to be home but this place definately rocked hard. Big thanks to Grahame for the ride and tour of the auctions last night, what a way to spend a final night.

Talk to you all soon

roppongi sucked ass - too many nigerians and americans just looking for skank. not the japan i wanted to see.

we had a bnr32 out the front of our hotel daily. on our first night we saw maybe 1 oe 2 bnr34's cruise by us and our first day in ahkihabara we had a bnr34 vspec2 park around the corner from where we were shopping. skylines are everywhere in tokyo. plus the countless 4 door gtt's.

    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
