Badges...

We're all familiar with current badges/logos.

But does anyone here know when then these other badges/logos were operating or for what periods of time?

I'm presuming correctly aren't I, that there must be some overlapping?

BNR32 enthusiasts. I have just found out that the Omori factory BNR32 inlet pipes are for install at omori only. I tried to order them and they would not sell. Even though I had about 8 thousand dollar parts order lol, so I will have some nice pics in a month or so :). They say NO!!!!! It is because of the customization that is needed to fit them. I guess they don't want shoddy jobs all over the world mis-representing their parts. This is kind of upsetting as I believe the carbon fiber pipes will be the same way once they are released. Which is what I originally wanted. So you are either stuck with stock customized twin turbo pipe, or go aftermarket and lose factory air box. Really disappointing. I think this is a new thing because people have bought them when visiting omori factory personally. They must have changed there minds for some reason. I really do like the look of the Trust air suction kit (which im sure sounds really good to). But I like that stock, nismo, look :( It's a sad sad day......but on the bright side....I got a 2k refund LOL. Maybe i'll just get some suspension arms or something instead.

Unless you ship your car to them for work to be done. Which would be totally awesome....but super expensive lol.

Thats a shame mate, i think with some of the really limited stuff they are getting tired of foreigners cleaning out their stock and having nothing left for their own customers.

You might be able to find a second hand set in the future so keep an eye out. If i see one ill let you know :)

Yes thank you. At this point, if they release carbon intake pipes, I might just save up and ship the car over for engine overhaul and carbon intake pipes. But that would be in the future lol. If I'm going to ship a car to them, I might as well make the trip worth it.

I guess you missed the part where I said engine overhaul lol. Either S2 or just a final spec. Depends really on what it would cost and funds etc. My life style is pretty crazy lol. But there is plenty of things you can have done while its there. If the only way to get these parts, is by them only, then I'll do what I have to do. Custom Omori name plate in the engine bay would be a nice touch also. It's more than a hobby to me. But as far as intake goes, I wouldn't bother for the aluminum. If they come out with carbon pipes and the box, then I would take this idea a little more seriously.

Actually though i saying that...

You avoid the taxes on the new parts if you ship your car in. If you are looking at buying that much worth of stuff, the tax you don't pay probably pays for the shipping.

ah yes I didn't even think of that. Not to mention the shipping of actual part from Japan to USA would have to be added in individual item prices to. So it would probably come close to the same. I know you can get engine overhaul anywhere. But I want a nismo motor(if possible). I basically have all the nismo bolt ons already available to public and GCG hi flowed -7s. I'm waiting till the engine starts to show fatigue though before thinking of crate motor or just general overhaul

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
