As the title says!!!

My firm:

INSERT PLUG HERE:

Pitcher Partners

Chartered Accountants (Yes I am an accountant)

www.pitcher.com.au

Have decided to send me to NY for 3 months for work. Nice!!!

So I will be leaving on the 28th of December and spending New Years in the Marriott hotel just off time square!!!

the rest of the time will be spent living in Greenwich Village and working in 3rd avenue just near Grand Central. I may even head down to Miami at the end of my trip but that is a WHOLE other story.

Anyway, the reason for this thread...other than to rub it in...is to get some info regarding things to buy car related and if anyone knows anywhere in NY or close by that I should visit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and if you want parts etc when I find them (I will set up an email before I go) I am sure we can work something out!!!!

Cheers

Neill

I would say if you want any american brand parts (Moroso, Peterson, MSD, etc....) then this is your chance :P

Why did I have to settle down, get married, have kid"s", sell my car etc etc.... DOUGH!!

You lucky pric*, I'm jealous....

ENJOY IT mate, BTW, I'll gladly look after your line for you since, hopefully, I won't have one anymore....

Cheers 'the other accountant'....

I was thinking of sticking to the big names that Rocket industries bring over. Mainly Auotmetre stuff, there is always a Honda Ricer happy to buy a monster tacho.

Prices i have found so far a slightly cheaper. Th ething about NY is that you DON't pay full price, always hagle and that is what I intend to do.

Cam, one day you can go buy another GTR, the fact is I may never be able to afford one, so consider yourself lucky in that regard. But you are out of luck with the car...its going to PMR and then to my olds, so my mum can drive it!!!

Jap parts seem to be just as expensive and some are cheaper direct from nengun. this is web only, so I guess actual experience is what i need!!!

And Strutto, yes I am a bastard!!!

EDIT: If anyone has a clue to get onto a US skyline forum so I can ask some questions please feel free to help me out!!!

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
