Good luck getting that translated

Its really weird. Apparently alot of the auctioneers don't write japanese, they put all their comments in english (or their idea of english) and they actually write in down on the paper with japanese letters. .. So its hard even for japanese speaking people to read..

Not to mention the scribble that is your auction sheet.. They should definately make bigger spaces for comments - considering alot of these cars are highly modified

:headspin:

well there is a few things you can tell about it without needing to read japanese. firstly, it's an accident grade car. secondly it's a 1989 model. body doesn't look too bad. some pin dents and something up with passenger side window, some sratches and possibly indicating some accident repair (not really sure). your buyer should be able to have this interpreted for you.

I can read most of it - it's definitely in japanese, LOL - the core problems with auction sheets are:

1. handwriting tends to be atrocious

2. kanji is small (often this partly to do with the size of the scan) - makes it hard to differentiate

3. they write in a 'code' - a kind of shorthand - people in 'the know' will understand it - but if you don't know the lingo/abbreviations - it can be guesswork only

If no-one transaltes it soon, I'll tell you what I can

(blacky - if you are reading this - I haven't forgotten about you, I just haven't had the time/opportunity to pass on your sheet)

Thanks for your input! =)

The details for this Auction sheet:

R33 N1 turbos

Mines modified ECU

OS twin plate clutch

Mines direct shifter

N1 headlights

Pivot tension rods

Nismo speedo

Adjustable suspension

N1 brake rotors

HKS exhaust (with front pipe)

Mines strut brace

Apexi air filter

Brake master cylinder stopper

Can the mines ecu be tuned in australia?...... And how does it compare to others like the Apexi PFC or E-manage?

:flamed:

bet he's stoked now, N1 turbos... :cheers:

Yeah i'm reading DaiOni, and thats cool, whenever u get round to it is ok. I've had a few people have a stab at it now including J exchange students and they all think its hard to read. But they all manage to get "Rigid Spacer"! .

here's part 1, I'll try to squeeze in a bit more later:

89 bnr32 GTR, gunmetal grey

* 65,710km. Km are listed as 'unclear' as the car has a nismo speedometer

* r33 rb26dett

*n1 turbos

* frontpipe (downpipe, or whatever you want to call it)

* cat-back exhaust

* mines cpu

* OS twin plate clutch

* mines 'direct shift' (??)

* rollbar

* n1 rotors

* boost meter

* lots of little scratches, including stonechip(s), and scratched rims

* there is a bit that looks like 'no factory parts' - but it's under the bit about the nismo dash (hard to tell if they are connected) - so it may be saying 'has a replacement speedo, and no original speedo' (so - can't verify kms)

I'll need to get my magnifying glass out for the rest, :)

okay, part II...

* I can't deceipher the first 'sales point' - first kanji is 'car', second appears to be 'high', I think the last is chou - which can mean condition/style. It's a total guess, but I think the inference is that this is a 'high-level car' (probably a reference to the degree of modification)

* has 17" rims

* has a 'takuu' bar (?)

* from my translation, it says "The owner has done a lot of modifications to this car, to confirm everything (on the car) come and look at it". I think, it suggests that there may be a lot more mods to the car

* pillow-ball tension rods

* oil catch can

* there's something about lock-nuts and a spare key - but not sure what (I would hope it says that they come with the car...)

* seat(s?) are worn/damaged

* the floor of the boot has been repaired

* the car has had repairs done, including dent repairs ('dent' is a very cool kanji - you learn something every day!)

* there are scratches and dents on the underbody (I'd assume there probably is surface rust too - but that is not listed)

* rear 'spo' (I'm guessing that is an abbrev. form of 'spoiler'...) has a scratch

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
