hey dude,

dunno what type of info you are after but i found this site in f*kuoka prefacture so probably this could be the place....

www.prime-garage.com

not much info on the sight but they say they have 20 years of experience in racing and they do servicing, body work, general tuning, race car maintenance, race car production, dress up cars, parts production/development/sales also they are equipped with dyno, alignment tester and corner weight gauge.

so it seems they are serious about their business....

if you want more info let me know... see what else i can dig up...

Yeh that’s there website, unfortunately I don’t read Japanese.

The information you gave me is awesome just in what you got from there homepage. Tonto the head mechanic there, I believe was the one who built my car, from what I could gather.

I don’t want you to go out of your way to help me too much, But if you get bored or something :D much appreciation in advance

Much Thanks

Andrew

It seems like their website is under construction (?), so what Totoro said is pretty much it other than they're based out of Kyushu (southernmost of the 4 big islands in Japan) in the country somewhere... Charazuma? Masahiro can you confirm?

Other than that theres not much else.

the website is kinda not too helpful cos of the lack of info and up dates but seems like a serious garage and the address is (direct translation) as below if this helps?

f*kuoka ken (prefacture), kita kyushuu shi (city), ogura minami ku ( suburb?), arihara kita (this one is a guess cos im not the best at reading kanji... sorry) 3-3-5

well f*kuoka is pretty much big city in kyushu so hope its not a dodgey little garage.... if it makes you happy Uras/Monkey Magic is in the same prefacture....

Nissan Skyline R32 Gts-t coupe with 2.0 litre S15 SR20DET twin cam turbo engine upgrade

5 speed

Balanced / blue printed SR20DET, new engine

PRIME GARAGE custom stainless exhaust manifold

HKS front pipe

HKS full exhaust

Front mount intercooler

TEIN Racing suspension

TOMEI Highflow Fuel Pump

PowerFC

The internals of the engine i do not know, I haven’t even check or done its first service. But the supplier in Japan Mark Hocking spoke to me on the phone, and his words are like "I don’t know what they have done, but its one of the quickest type M I have ever driven, Just be careful with it when you first get it, your in for a surprise." You could say any supplier would say that, but I had purchased it about 2 weeks before he made such comments. He had to take it back to prime garage as the existing fuel pump had given in, wanted to give me an option to get it fixed in Japan...

I don’t like talking it up, I just take it as it is. I’m sure when I take it to hyperdrive for its servicing and tuning, I will find more out about its internals. Thats going to happen when I get my licence back.

funny thing happened today....

i was going to central tafe and i saw a nicely parked maroon R32 coupe and i thought "nice color, nice height, nice P1s......"

"Prime Garage?!?!? wtf?" must have been your car re2....

nice ride!

Thanks. You were in the import 101 grey skyline which parked just where I had moved my car from... Damn Parking inspector, had came around and marked my front tyre, I nearly wanted to rip into him :P vandalise my car! I want to see it in writing where they are allowed to vandalize our property. So I just moved it, and rubbed of the yellow mark.

All Good.

What you done with your ride, you had a pipe extending from the rear.

rezz: yeah luckily i had my pocket measuring tape on me! hahaha

re2: oh well inspectors are only doing their job.... maybe you should get them to clean the tyre for you after marking it....

my car is pretty much stock engine wise and just got the usual exhaust, coilys, air filter and thats all... gonna slowly do it up....

hope i can see you next sau cruise or something!

Hehe

I was on a purple circle cruise and one advertised on antilag.

Unfortunately I’m in the middle of loosing me license.

Funny, it wasn’t actually caused in the r32. Just a matter of bad luck with points, I was post to get a heap back in September.

It doesnt take much, 4 fines in 3 years.

  • 2 weeks later...

As said, one of the older HPI has features on some prime garage cars and also on HPI 5 or 6 DVD.

They are RH9 (blue R33 GTR) and made the quickest CA18 powered car in the world (white sil80) which I saw a few months ago at CRD in Sydney :D

See if you can grab the DVD, doesnt have much detail on the shop itself but you can see the work they have done to these two other cars and their attention to detail.

Anyone else notice the extreme positive camber on that 180SX? :D

It gives me some hope with modifying a CA18DET though...

Drag dampers, when it squats in the rear on launch/hard acceleration, camber goes to about 0 degrees to get most tyre contact on the road as possible ;)

Im a big fan of the CA18DET, strong little things, friend had one in his 180SX with a few bolt ons (cooler, S15 T28, some piggyback computer) and it was suprsingly quick (and also withstood years of punishment and neglect).

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
