So let me get this straight,,,You are selling stuff HERE that you are still bidding for. Meaning that you actually don't own anything and may not even win . Is this correct???.

I dont have any problem with ppl doing this, bu tbe up front about it, thats all. A friend was good enough to get me some parts for my car usign a contact in Japan, but he never represented that he owned parts that he didnt.

And looking at the auction price, you stand to make good money when you havent even put any of your own money on the line, and if yahoo auction falls over, what excuse would you offer them.

Best be up front:) Hell im happy to pay ppl for their time and trouble to bring parts in, picking up parts from customs for a friend i know the hassle....but better work on a commission should you win the auction isnt it...anyway, For Sale section is not for chatting so ...

Ebay's full of ads like this, you'll find most of em are only buy it now items (you can buy the turbos for 190,000Y or bid on em for 185,000Y) so if there's a registered interest the seller just pays the buy it now price and thus dosen't risk losing a sale or inflated prices.

andrew, I only need one, I was gonna post up the second one for sale once it got here... wanna go halvies?

Its about $2400 to buy in japan, and plus there's the agent commission of 10% and the internal shipping and also shipping to australia with customs etc, should see it landed for about $3000, so you can have one of em for half of that (around $1500). Sound fair to you?

sounds good. Things have come up though, it will have to be in a few months.

Its legal, but it might be against the forum rules.

The main moot point being that this person is selling items that are not his possession, which is against the forum rules. The admins are discussing this, and will take action soon accordingly.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
