I'm sorry to announce the demise of JLM. There has been an internal split.

Over the years, since the two Japanese technicians have gone home, JLM has been thin on the ground with expertise.

There is much angst I'm afraid since the staff split quite a few weeks ago. Both sides have approached me in friendship but I told them that I don't partake in 'domestics'.

Tis sad that we haven't heard the last of this either. And I've moved on...

So over the past decade we've witnessed for one reason or another, the closure of import houses like... Big Boyz Toyz, Tokyo Imports, Powerplay Imports, Nagoya Imports, M&R, All Imports, Northshore Prestige, Xtreme Motorsport, Master Cars, Dream Cars, Bens Imports > Sports Autogroup, JapLink Motors > JLM...

And that's just in Sydney. Protect your appreciating assets kiddies and give them an extra hug tonight!

Have they been shut down?

No, Haven't been shutdown. Just one person in particular has been.. The other 2 boys are still operating as normal.

While I've got some sympathy for any people working there who didn't know about any issues, I'd be more worried about the 73 people who bought illegal cars.

 

What was done and have they all been compensated by the business? Have the cars been made legal somehow?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
