So my girlfriend is in the states for the next few weeks and she asked if i want anything.

- Got myself some supplements dirt cheap (i can never understand why its so expensive down here)

- Few New Era hats

- and other general clothing items.

but i cant seem to put my finger on anything for my car (which is a first ;) ). Any dirt cheap things i can pick up in the states guys?

Since the states arnt huge on skylines, look at gernic/ universal item, i.e k&n filter gauges, rims, steering wheels. or stuff the you know will fit on your car that comes from a car in the states, i.e 240sx=180sx here.

+ 1 also ring around your local Holden dealers for things like rear lights for a current model to work out prices, because of the Pontiac G8 you can pick them up in the states for something like a third of the price here. A mate of my brothers was looking for some replacements even with shipping it still ended up being less than half the price. So you could definetly make some cash.

Im doing the same thing this month.

I bought myself back an oil cooler kit, (Mocal, pieced together myself) and am going to be getting 2x EDFC's. A bagful of those HKS inline VAC filters etc.

I even got roped into bringing back a massive Twin scroll Manifold for my mates Evo hillclimb car ha.

Agree with above though. Not alot of demand for Skyline stuff so your limited.

Am thinking of putting an order through for a heap of smaller Password JDM stuff for all the Honda fanboys. Make myself a tidy profit :P

Second-hand TE37s 18s/19s receipted at $999 or less if poss > unaccompanied luggage.

Yummy stuff like...

* Almond Roca (costs the earth here) http://www.brown-haley.com/

* Red Vines licorice (to die for - with cinnamon/rasberry) http://www.redvines.com/

* Chiclets chewing gum (even if you don't play baseball) http://www.nextag.com/chiclets-gum/products-html

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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)?
