Hello fellow SAUWA'ers

It's been just over a week since I arrived in Japan, and many would think that there would be a lot of nice cars here.

I'm staying in Kochi at the moment, and i bet u dont know where that is. It's in the Shikoku Island of Japan, the one shaped a bit like australia, the small one, etc etc... It's a bit smaller than Perth, but hell, the roads are so narrow that many times a car has to give way to an oncoming car to avoid collision.

I'm here for work purposes and also to visit my grandparents (my dad's side, my mum's side is situated in Hiroshima). I work from sunrise to sunset 5 days a week and sleep around 9pm to wake up by around 6-6.30am, a far cry from my leisurely days after my exams when i sleep around 5am and wake up around lunchtime.

Ok, enough of my personal life =P ... cars? I would say around 60-80% of the cars (in Kochi anyway) are those small boxy cars like Honda Life, Daihatsu Mira, Sirion, Micra etc etc. Theyre all riced up big time as well, many have body kits, lowered, sideskirts, loud mufflers (doubt they would have exhaust systems) and white headlights. I have seen a few skylines, ranging from sleek black R32s to white R33 GTR, blue R34 GTR and quite a few 4 door R32 and R33s. I think it's just too difficult to drive a big car. My workmate drives a lowered-below-the-subway Silvia S13, he said cheap ones can be found anywhere between $3000 to $8000 (depends obviously).

I dont have much net access here, I'm at the local library and msn doesnt even work (not even those web messenger things) so my posts will be few and far between.

Drive safely!!! :D

Y@$

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      R34 Plug Identification

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
