lol cool, next mailing list I'll be definite to include a couple of DR30's for you guys to perve at. If you're not on the mailing list join up and I'll send it out tonight... www.j-spec.com.au

they're just examples that we pick, but it should give you an indication of what's available on the market. If you're serious about importing one, give us a call.

Hey Shan. I'm not importing the car anymore, but can you import rims? I've found a set. Also i've heard the perps at yahoo auctions won't sell to you unless you can communicate with fluent japanese. Any way around this?

Generally they won't sell to you unless you are in Japan or have a contact who can both speak Japanese and has a Japanese contact address.

If you can get someone who lives there to make the arrangements, ship the item to them, then ship it here. A friend of mine does just that with his car parts, he's brought in rims, grilles, lights, badges, mirrors etc for his TE37 Levin corolla that way.

I purchased my R32 GTS-4 from the Yahoo auctions with assistance of Prestige Motorsports. The only problem I found was the lack of info prior to the auction, whereas the other auctions seem to more detailed and you tend to have a better idea what you are buying (less chance of importing a piece of shit). I was thorougly happy with my purchase, and when I finally got it, there were heaps more goodies than I was aware of. Just be careful and find out as much info as you can before you bid/buy a yahoo auctions vehicle.

if you get in on the auctio early you can post questions to the seller. Also you can contact the seller and have a mechanic go out and inspect it. Its just all about timing, shouldn't leave whole car auctions to the last minute.

yahoo might not be the best place to chase up new stuff... I'll have a look on yahoo for you, but I think I know a couple of shops over there that might do a good price on new clutches. Are you after any brand in particular?

Do you know anyone in Japan that will help out? for some $$ of course.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
