Hey all,

i have a badge on the back of my car that is RS yamamoto, also a badge inside the car would indicate likely been built by them, and after inspection by a few friends in the know, anyway, ive searched many times on the internet and forums for this brand, failing to find anything on the company itself, if any of you have any links, can you please share them :(

much appreciated

Michael

RS Yamamoto's website is down... maybe they've gone out of business?

Amkread have a special info page on RS Yamamoto but it's basically contact detail etc nothing of use really. RS Yamamoto are/were located in Saitama, just north of Tokyo, and they specialized in Nissan cars, also did circuit tuning, zero-yon (0-400m drag) and street turbo tuning. I've seen some of their body parts for Z31 Fairlady Z's and they look like good quality and not over the top.

Thats about all I could find, and rememeber don't confuse RS Yamamoto with the go-kart company of the same name :D

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
