Great forum guys, Ive been reading up alot on the Japan section of these forums, especially in the past few months since Im finally off to Tokyo for a few days at the end of this week :D

Im hoping some of the Japanese locals will be able to help me out with the question that i have without re-iterating what alot of other people have already asked. I basically have 4 days in Tokyo and one of the things on my tight agenda is to purchase some car parts, namely a Power FC. Now Ive been buying japanese magazines recently to keep up on prices but alot of the times the magazines don't list the actual price for the Power FC and instead ask you to call up instead. Now this may be fine for a local but seeing as though Im in Sydney and I cannot speak Japanese, it is pretty much impossible for me to get an idea of what kind of prices these go for nowadays.

To cut a long story short, Im curious to know whether buying straight from Japan would be cheaper than buying online from Greenline or Nengun? Greenline's prices especially seem very good and are even cheaper to some of the prices Ive seen in some Jap magazines. Would any of you locals know how much they go for over there? To be more specific it will be for my S14a ie. ~96-99 model.

BTW, does anyone know how much cheaper Japan is than HK? As im also going there straight after. Or is HK actually cheaper (Im assuming japan should be cheaper) ?

Hey Drunkenmaster,

To speed things up, try having a look at this:

It's free and resizes them in batches.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
