From my experience with buying things through Jap Warehouse, the guys there are pretty honest, good people, it was good to deal with them.

Whatever you do - Don't let anyone tell you that you need an aftermarket ECU for the EVO.

Your stock ECU is fully tuneable, the same as Nistune is for Nissan only better. Good mate of mine tunes EVOs :)

The stocker ECU also has some of the best functionality you can get for a street car, best of all, it's free.

Hey Scotty I wouldn't go past Pro-Tek or you could check out Chasers mate for their knowledge of Evo's and overall workmanship. PM on the latter as they're not as 'polished' on their job completion, as of recent with a couple of friends who own evos.

They might be a bit out of the way, but It's worth the peace of mind. Oh and +1 on flash tune, I think It's around ~$500-550 IIRC from most workshops. Can't go wrong.

Footscray station is a short walk from Chasers, and then you're in the CBD in a matter of minutes. Or if you're really lazy, a taxi into the city would be cheap.

You near a train line that will go to Footscray station?

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
