Hi there

Thought you guys might like to see this.

Got given this item the other day by a guy who apparently got given it by someone that worked in the factory and had it given to him there, not sure how true this is or the full story so was hoping someone on here could tell me more about the history of this piece and how many would have been given out/made?

It feels quite heavy, possibly bronze I think and is about 5cm in diameter.

Looks like a concept 240k on the front of it.

Thanks,

Matt

Here's the pics of front and back:

Looks like Dom's charger from fast and the furious.

Never the less, verry verry cool.

I done a couple of quick searches and just got a few jap sites.

Also i think the coin is a remembelia of a guy called Shinichiro Sakurai. He worked for a motor company called Prince Motor company as a chassis engineer, Prince Motor company designed the Zero fighters in WWII. That company merged with Nissan in the mid 1960's. He was dubbed Prince Skline because of his involvement in the 'Prince' range of cars that where released in the mid 60's and played a key roll through the next several Prince cars to be realaesed. Shinichiro Sakurai went on to become president of Autech in 86. He kept working for nissan died at age 81 in 2011.

that's cool if it's all legit.

For some reason the first & second post reminded me of the tv show antiques roadshow, where the owner of an antique gets their item appraised & the appraiser talks about the history of the piece. For that reason I read the second post in my head with a british accent lol

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
