People who stick gtr badges are the same ones using cheap china crap on there ride. They are in it for the wank factor, and the hope someone who knows nothing about cars but reconises GTR associated with a fast car to think what they are driving is something special. Same thing with lancer evolutions, you have a mint cp9a evolution and some chump with a body kit that cost the price of your front lip with ralliart stickers, went through all the trouble to try and make people think his poorly executed lancer is a rally based street car.

Meh, I have China shit on my car but no GT-R badge.

Do have a bunch of random anime stickers for LOLs

How To Suck at Trolling, written by Elegant Skyline

1. Think of an awesome trolling idea

2. Rush to post your awesome trolling idea on some random forum

3. Watch your awesome trolling idea fail, miserably

4. Try to act cool and carefree

5. Watch your awesome cool acting fail, miserably

6. Pull out a last ditch trolling idea, one that you saved for emergency purposes

7. Watch it crash and burn, miserably

8. Bail!

9. Fap furiously, then repeat the above steps on another random forum

1. Why thanks for thinking it's awesome.

2. Ain't no rush, really...

3. No not really, 1,248 views and "Hot" 63 replies in just 2 days seems pretty good to me.

4. Cause i am cool and carefree.

5. Refer to point "4"

6. You been thinking about this very deeply haven't you?

7. Refer to point "3"

8. "Hail!"

9. Pfft like i'm gonna do that with this account, maybe i will blend in with the community with a different account.

This is the sort of shit that happens when Mums and Dads don't pw protect the wifi.

Your parents are stupid.

You are the proof.

How do I remove cum stains from my R33's back seat?

More cum. Until it's totally covered and one big stain. That won't be obvious at all.

I have China crap on my GT-R. What does that make me? confused.bmp

Those who buy quality parts they do it once and they do it right.

Buying chinese turbo's, exhaust manifold, rims etc. Your setting

yourself up for a headache. However if its nothing to expensive or

Crucial like light bulbs, gear knobs etc then whatever those are easily disposable and cheap. But cheaping out on performance and safety it comes back to bite you.

There is a limit to how much china crap you should have,

as long as you have a some jap crap, your skyline should be fine.

The only China stuff (from Just Jap) on my car are the front upper arms (I was desperate for new bushes/arms as old bushes were nonexistent). My gearknob is genuine Nismo though.

Well the arms performed fine on two track days + 3 years of road use. But the bushes are noisy now, so I have hardrace ones lined up. They're China crap as well I think?

Its a bit of a gamble, for example the kinugawa china ebay turbo are cheap as and i have seen them been used in some top end builds,

heaps of people will swear by them. But at the same time the other side are talking about how they have had issues with them less then 1000km's later.

Maybe its because japanese companies etc have stricter quality control less defective products make it out on to the markets and in the hands

of the unsuspecting. So in a way you could get away with a Chinese product but in a batch of 1000 products the japanese are always going to have a

better sigma rating (number of detective free products). Pretty sure they are made in Taiwan, you should get away with them.

So far on my car:

China crap: FMIC, Wheels, Tires, various Gauges (besides boost) & exhaust (I think X-force is made in China?)

Jap crap: POD, boost gauge & SAFC 2

Seems like there is an imbalance to the China-Jap crap ratio... :yes:

Suspension is stock so I'm guessing that counts as Jap as well?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
