^^^ Japanese company with an office in Australia. I am thinking about one of there Throttle response controllers for the 8 as well...

Nengun want $570 plus shipping but there AU eBay store is only $460 delivered...

Main engine/performance modifications are 3" turbo-back exhaust, Blitz intercooler, nismo 480cc injectors, and a high-flow turbo I picked up second hand (don't know the full specs). Turbo has a 10psi actuator on it, and is using the factory boost control via nistune (which brings it a little over 12psi).

Martin seemed very surprised at how well the turbo came onto boost, etc.

Wow. Just wow. As if you would drive in such a state, in such a car, in such circumstances, past the LARGEST POLICE STATION IN SA! That is a whole new level of stupid.

Bout to do an oil change any oil people recommend? And also a filter

I've been using royal purple 10w40 in my gtr for a while now. And just the ryco filters from repco, supercheaps etc

Can anyone figure out where the scam is going to come in here. I'm selling my ranger ute and i know i'm being scammed because of the language that they are using but i can't figure out how the scam is going to work;

Hey Craig,
As stated in the Gum Tree advertisement, i have received a promotion and my new salary package includes Toyota Hilux so i have no need for the Ranger as it is a second vehicle.
I am happy with the price of $12,5000 and i am sure that there is no finance on the vehicle as i carried out a check on the vehicle when i bought it and i paid cash, but i will forward the VIN to you tomorrow.
Just to let you know i will not accept payment through paypal and i will not be transferring any money out of my account to verify my details. Preferred payment is cash in pickup and i will be reluctant to accept any other form of payment.
Dale

May i know your reason for selling this Vehicle, please let me know if there's any money owing on it.
I can pay $12,500 and I will be delighted if you consider me as the next owner, let me know if my offer is good enough.
Craig.

Hello Craig,
Please find attached the service history for the Ranger Ute that you inquired about on Gum Tree the night before last.
There are interior pictures in the Gum Tree advertisement, is there anything in particular that you want shown in the interior.
I will get the VIN off the VIN plate tonight and forward to you.
As for price $12,500 is the lowest i will go before i start removing items from the sale like the canopy, aftermarket chip, and cruise control.
Thanks
Dale

Definite Scam... They often cruise and bulk hit Carsales adverts.

They then say that they are out of state and will have a transport company pick up the car.

They send the payment via paypal or something and then that money is held under order by them.

They put the hold and say that once they have a receipt from transport that the car has been picked up that they will then notify Paypal.

And here is the Scam... You can see the money in your Paypal account waiting to clear (so you think all is good) but they then say to Paypal that they never received the receipt of pickup and as such do not know who picked up your car. They stop the transfer and your car has already driven up the road on some transport that they have arranged as part of the scam.

They tried it on my 33 a few weeks ago. Reported it to Carsales and they have now blocked the email address. The one used for mine was [email protected]

Hi Guys, Sorry to interupt.

My OP6 Turbo failed on sunday (seized) R34 GTT. I was lazy and got a local workshop to pull it off and was advised to get it Highflowed.

Not having much experience outside of my 32GTR I let them handle it. (Before reading the Hypergear thread :( in F.I )

Short story they had sent it the same arvo to Adelaide Turbo Services (ATS) before I could advise to send to Hypergear.

Oh well didn't know better or expect such speedy service.

Just wanting to know the good, bad & ugly if any one has used or heard of them please.

Cheers

Richard

ATS will be fine, they use a garrett ball bearing core instead of the journal that Stao uses, so the price will reflect that. I would imagine if your keeping standard front and rear housings its getting hiflowed to 2871 spec, will make a lazy 250-260 with supporting mods.

Dale, all you need to register a car and transfer ownership these days is a VIN and a receipt (you don't need rego papers).......he's got your VIN and probably a nice fake receipt now.

Hopefully he isn't able to get owner details from the VIN, i.e. your name and address to be able to complete the receipt.....without that you're pretty safe.

Cash or Bank Cheque buddy!!

Thanks Ben :thumbsup: appreciate the reply mate.

Likely grab a Z32, Nistune, injectors and perhaps upgrade fuel pump so I can make use of the extra killerwasps

Already got the FMIC, Splitfires, Xzorst.

As it's my daily Auto wont go too wild or the Trans will be off to MV's

Edit: Likely see some of you guys at the Nats in my 32

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
