Say Hello To My New Drift Pig (project)


Recommended Posts

I think most guys here would be used to it called "Sil-Beer" like they're more often used to seeing it as when it comes through the babelfish translator.

How does the "car tax" work in Japan?.. I have always wanted to know.

I have heard all the rumours but no one over here really seems to know.

I tried searching but the search tool seems to be buggered :huh:

It's worked out according to vehicle dimensions and engine capacity. So a Kei car will be cheaper than say a Toyota Crown Majesta. For my R32, I had to pay 46,000 yen (A$541) a year.

So for the R32, I had running costs like this:

6,000 yen/fortnight fuel

15,000 yen/month parking

7,000 yen/month insurance (3rd party,fire, theft)

46,000 yen/year tax

100,000 yen (roughly)/every 2 years shaken (roadworthy inspection)

So disregarding the shaken, my regular outgoings for 'car expenses' were 446,000 yen (A$5,247) a year not including maintenance and modifications OR TOLL. Highway tolls can blow that figure out considerably. I also said 6,000 yen/fortnight for fuel as I didn't drive so much after my mate Troy left Japan...

thinks back to someones bablefish translated avatar heading  :D

That was the whole idea... point out how wierd a machine translation can be. I develop japanese -> english translation systems as a part of my work.

cow is to bovine as pig is to swine.

Here she is in all her bovine glory:

I guess a nice set of chromies and big lairy graphics are good for the genitally challenged, but you *know* a guy is *big* when he's got a brown interior in his car... tongue.gif

I must be pretty well endowed! HOT DAMN IT'S A CA18DE!!!

... WORD.

Rear strut brace, 10 CD stacker, hight adjustable coilovers, Cusco 1-way LSD, and Field fuel controller were nice to find on board, but the Carozzeria speakers that light up blue, blue led bizness in the parking lights/reverse lights and other little nick-nacks will more than likely get binned.

**Anouncement**
If you wanna know why I bought it, it's because I wanted a challenge, and to break the 'teenage hoons drive S13' stereotype tongue.gif

Cow is to bovine as pig is to swine ;)

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
