K's Garage/Rezz's Photo Diary down for good?


Recommended Posts

Due to an oversight by one of my family members, my site, webspace and therefore Photo Diary are down.

To all the people who got some enjoyment out of the Photo Diary, I'm sorry but it may not come back, and even if I can sort out new webspace/hosting, it'll take a gargantuan effort to get things back the way they were... but I probably can sort out w00w Port City SuperAB show and '04 Nismo Festival if I get time over the New Years break.

In other news, my 'Race Queen' friend is getting married and moving to Buffalo in the USA so there goes that connection, but Ikeri from SuperAB 171 (good luck at the 'Kinki Kids' concert today mate ;)) may know some promo girls... who knows ;)

As you may already know, Troy aka Evo_Lee is heading back to AU then Taiwan for work so I won't be seeing him for quite a while and I think we've seen the last of the 'carpark mechanics' posts, not to mention his very cool Evo 5. Good luck Troy and I hope to see you in Taiwan in the new year :D

I'll try my best to report on some events in the Kansai region in the new year, but this time I won't make any promises... whatever happens happens.

From me to all the Japan forum regulars... Happy New Year!

Rezz, I can host your site for free with 24/7 ftp access etc with no bandwith limits, let me know if you want it. I don't mind the hassles involved, as long as the pics n info is available constantly.

Happy New Year mate, n have fun at the Automesse :cheers:

Cheers Shan, sounds like a good plan. But if you host everything, I'll have to change all the web addresses of all the pics I've posted in the Photo Diary... total nightmare.

don't they link to a domain name that you own? (k's garage or whatever its called?) if they do, then you can replicate the directory structure on the server and just transfer the domain name to point to the new server... end result, seamless transition.

I might be able to use the admin features of vbulletin to do a mass search n replace in your posts.

A happy new year to you! Are you busy? I'm so busy.

If you can get a few time,also me,let's go to dinner with us.But basicly your holiday is only Sunday right?

Hi Ikeri :) Happy New Year!

This week is my New Year holiday so I'm just staying at home playing GT4 hahaha :D Are you working tomorrow?

Usually Saturday afternoon and Sunday are my days off, so I can come and see you at Autobacs then...

Yeah, lets have dinner this weekend? My friend Anthony is here in Osaka right now so I'll introduce you to him, ok?

Justin

good for you! too long holiday! There is nothing a new year holiday for me so keep working from last year.

Please give me a break!!

hahahaha I got GT4 also at 28th Dec,but still can't so much do it. I get only B lisence.

Maybe It's better at Sora(my son) than me.Because I haven't won him in Suzuka.

Yes I'm working tomorrow but start at 4PM.

Hey rezzeh, back at the office now after holidays, so I can fix up that hosting n stuff. Did a quick whois search on your domain and all admin emails go to [email protected]. I need to know how you registered the domain (what website you used if possible) and also if you have access to change the nameserver details.

Basically the way it works is:

when someone types in ksgarage.jp, it goes to the nameserver specified, and the nameserver points to your host. So to host the website on our host, then you gotta change the nameserver to our one, and you're done.

Also you'll need to zip up the entire contents of the old website and transfer it to the new server once the domain has transferred.

Email me ([email protected]) and I'll explain things a lil better if I can.

Hi Ikeda,

I am in Osaka right now. I arrived here on the 3rd but I am only staying till the 14th before heading to Tokyo for the Autosalon before flying home.

Justin,

Give me a call or leave me a message at the Hilton Room 1517 with a no. where I can contact you. I am going to meet up with one of my teammate tomorrow and probably head to Kyoto and Kobe to do some sightseeing. If you want to contact me tomorrow, please call 090 2597 4625 so we can organise something for Sunday.

Mate, replied to your PF PM... Happy New Year to you mate!

As an update, yes I'm now working in Taiwan commissioining the new Taiwan Shinkansen supplied by a Japanese consortium. Today is my 2nd day here, and I'm bored as shit but it's still early days. But considering most of the cars are shit and they are LHD I don't think I will be buying a car here, though did see a 2dr GC8 STi today...look cheap enough or may just import a GT-R and drive it ONLY at night with VERY dark tints :)...like what others do here when they import a RHD car. As you can't drive a RHD car here from what I have heard and the fines are very heavy.

But trying to understand their road rules would be a challenge in itself. They don't follow any road rules!!!! Worst than what I experienced in India, one could easily get run over here, why..."cause cars even drive down the opposite direction of a one way street right in front of a cop station!"

I'm currently based in Tainan, in the countryside where the largest depot is located about 300km South of Taipei. Will be here for about a month testin the overhead power lines then moving back to Taipei where I'll be based and working out from.

 

As you may already know, Troy aka Evo_Lee is heading back to AU then Taiwan for work so I won't be seeing him for quite a while and I think we've seen the last of the 'carpark mechanics' posts, not to mention his very cool Evo 5. Good luck Troy and I hope to see you in Taiwan in the new year :D

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
