lol AVOID Nismo. This is the guy who tried to convince me that I needed to replace the whole front driveshaft when I just needed a CV boot done - Even after I told him he was an idiot.

probably because the numb nut just looked at getting the boot from Nissan. Nissan wont sell you just the boot, they try sell you a whole drive shaft for like 700 bucks haha

Can someone lead me in the direction of places I can order parts for my 32 GTR in Australia please ? Hi octane racing and jus jap seem good but are their any other places that people have had good service and Respect !!!

Honestly mate, id take the advice of one of the original posts

Order it from RHD Japan, usually takes a couple of weeks but its a very simple process

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan/r32-skyline-gt-r

Start here, it will save you at least 10-15% on Just Jap and alike

Thanks joey

Went to the rhd Japan website before and everything is in yen

Do they have a currency converter

There's a currency converter on their page, just under the price where it says 'currency' click and scroll down.

Highly recommended, used them heaps of times.

Lolz, siff take your car to a place in thomastown.

Luckily i'm not a big enough dick head to take it there, unlike my mate who took his car when it was on sunshine ave and got rorted haha (no offence to the op). I even told him the place was dodgy before i had even heard any stories about it, place just doesn't look right. I laugh every time i see a car with the nismo sticker on the back now

Also - side point... I wouldn't be trusting drifters for the correct idea on what things cost.

Reason I say this as over the last 1-2 years there have been a lot of backyard-er type places open up. They don't have proper business insurance, security systems and other types of overheads which allow for greatly reduced costs. So when something bad does happen (like they get robbed, which seems to be ocurring a lot lately), you as a customer gets the ripe old shaft on the other end.

Just something to think about.

(The above does not mean in any way i support that quote, heaps of stuff on there is just plain ripping off of a customer - said person was stupid to let work happen without an quote anyway).

Having worked in the automotive industry, I know all too well the business side of things. Customers often want you to source parts for them, with zero margin on them - i.e. what they would pay for them if they were to take the time to research, track them down and purchase. Then there's the labour side of things, where customer believes you should be charging no more per hour for labour than what they earn per hour...that's a classic.

We also live in the era of customers supplying their own parts, but also wanting workshops to accept liability for these parts when things go wrong. So the only thing a mechanic can make money from, is fhe labour...which means a rushed job, because a faster job is more profit. And dodgy mechs are happy to work for cheaper than good. Many reasons I'm glad not to work in the industry anymore.

Well that is why I go to racepace and chequered tuning for my complete build up. Too many risks these days especially if your not familiar on pricing and quality. I supplied all my parts from perfect run/RHD japan/greenline.

Yen is looking tasty at the moment

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
