People... you're all wrong!

It's Rezz here, I'll straighten all this shenannigans out! (hehehe :rofl:)

Ok, Rrrrrready??? (lol)

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

A'pex(i): pronouced 'A-peck-koo-soo' or in English 'Aye-pecks' from Japanese 'アッペクス' = 'Ah-pe-koo-soo' - The 'i' IS NOT pronounced.

**Edit: Just because theres a capital 'G' and 'R' in there, doesn't mean anything! This is Japanese limited understanding of the English language remember...

Yes, I know, thats why I posted above. I've lived in Japan for 5 years and have met with Japanese sales reps from Trust and A'pex (and others) and heard them introduce themselves using the pronunciation I posted above... that enough? lol

who is they? i assume you are talking about japanese people...

some of your japanese pronounciations are off too.

ps: i believe is G Reddy

sorry, by 'they' i meant the people who invented the name. as some of the names i listed are not jap.

yeh i'm sure they are prob quite off, im just saying what i know, i'm not japanese, but my 'pronounciation key' is just a guide from what i know, its not supposed to be worthy of webber, just contributing to the forum, but i think you get the drift...

its not law either so by all means correct me where im wrong, i'm always happy to be corrected! :)

dan

I used to say G-Reddy, but I say greddy now. easier and yeah... sounds better lol. And it looks like that's the actual way to pronounce it, given the evidence for...

Lol rezz, I can so see that coming out of thier mouths :P dorreeft!

It's G-Reddy... Without a doubt. Now do you say G-rex or Grex? We could be here all day if we wanted to analyse exectly what those crazy Jap tuners (and japanese in general) are trying to say!!

It's Gr-ed-dee. :rolleyes: Remember this:

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

Theres a correct way to say it, and it would be quite embarrassing if say Tsuchiya were to come to Australia and all these Aussie so-called Japanese car experts start busting out with their own invented pronunciations just because "I can't be farked" or "that sounds stupid..."

One more time (:werd: ) with English pronunciation:

A'pex = Aye-pecks

GReddy = Gr-ed-dee

GREX = Gr-ex

GRACER = Gr-ay-ser (not: 'G-Racer!!!")

Fujitsubo = Foo-jitz-oo-boe (the emphasis is on the 'jitz' part, not: 'Foo-jit-SOO-boe)

Watanabe = Wah-tah-nah-beh... simple. (not: "Wah-tah-nayb"!!)

Tanabe = Tah-nah-beh... as above

5 Zigen = Five Ziggen ('ig' as in 'bigger') In Japanese: 'Goh Ziggen'.

RE Amemiya: Are-Eee Ah-mem-ee-yah

Cefiro = Seh-fee-roe

Hachi-Roku = Hah-chee Roh-koo (not: Roe-koo... US style :D)

Bride = Bree-deh (I suppose 'Breed' would sound better in English... don't say 'Br-eye-d'!!! Thats the epitomy of wrong)

JUN = Joo-n ('oo' as in 'put')

Tommy Kaira = Tommy K-eye-rah (not: 'K-eye-ee-rah')

Tomei = Toe-mey (not: TOMMY!)

Tsukuba = Tsoo-koo-bah

Any more just gimme a yell ;)

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
