I bought mine from Northshore 9 months ago, great purchase experience, but check your paperwork thoroughly - there was an issue with the engine number on mine (only a typo) and I had to sit around for an hour while Ben got it sorted.

But I had to ring Ben a couple of months back to talk to him about a couple of things done at compliance, and the response was "too bad so sad" - VERY unimpressed with the service after I'd signed the paperwork.

They still have clean cars, just check them over well, even little things like the location of the child restraint mounts, making sure the band expander works, and making sure they've actually done everything they were supposed to at compliance.

the thing that gets me is, my c34 is clean as, it really looks like its only a low km car and heres the killer, the car had been wound back in japan, because i went and looked at it the day it came out of customs, i went straight to the detailers where it was delivered straight from a container and it was filthy. i check the km's on that day and they were 84,xxx so mmmm bit dodgy, but what can you do... not much. just means ill be taking it in for a timing belt sooner than expected.

thats how the low klms get done, purchased from car yards gets done from his employee over there prior to even being advertised (hey preseto... new klms) thats why you get no evidence from were he got it!...

The first one i got delivered was the same... clean as around the car panel wise! but underneath.... rust , issues etc.

Also as a he is a licensed dealer, he must display this on the car or ( pm me for information)

to be able to sell cars under 10 years old less 150k klms without a stat warranty... He doesn't do it! so you have a three month warranty from purchase

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
