Sick of fees, yet want to pay some one to make phone calls and emails for you?

I dont get it.

If you must use a broker then why not use one that runs a compliance workshop? at least they do somthing useful for you.

j-spec. paid them $1k, and i basically sit here and wait for the car.

handling everything. freight the car from qld to melb, tow truck to compliance work shop. too easy

j-spec are great, really good service. but don't forget that on top of the $1k fee to j-spec you are also (in most cases) paying at least 100 000yen FOB to a japanese suplier. it is quite possible to deal directly with those suppliers, but of course people like j-spec have a much wider access to cars, and more aus specific knowledge. I'd suggest if you are reall just after a cheap car then go to a jap supplier. if you are buying something a little more expensive like a 34 GTR then i would say it's worth going with someone like j-spec.

    • OK, so, assuming that there is nothing wrong with either the original or new boost sensor, then it would seem that there might be something wrong in the loom wiring to that sensor. This is troublesome, because if that were true, then you might expect the problem to persist when the sensor was unplugged. But seeing as the voltage comes good when it is unplugged, it would suggest that the fault might (and I stress might) be right at the loom plug. Either that, or the fault might be at the ECU, on the line in from the boost sensor. When you unplug the boost sensor, that input at the ECU is isolated from the TPS sensor and can't affect it. This would be semi-bad, as an ECU problem is never welcome, but at least you'd know where the problem is and it might be fixable, or at least replaceable. Do you have Nistune, or any other way of looking at ECU data? I'd want to drive the car around with the boost sensor unplugged and see the TPS working properly, then not working properly with the sensor plugged back in. You're not trying to run more than ~18 psi either? Right? Because even with Nistune that can be difficult with the boost sensor connected. Just checking, in case it might have some bearing on the issue. It shouldn't cause the voltage situation you're seeing though.
    • Need something reliable, like a Mazda (non-rotary), or a Honda, or a .......... Commodore 🤣, the only issue with my cars is me 🫤
    • Then sell it and buy a BMW! I can totally relate to this (except the money part! ). I think for me I need to remind myself that I do enjoy the process and to stop being so damn impatient and eager to get it done. That just leads to frustration and broken stuff.  Built not bought. Wait.  Fixed, not fought? No ... Definitely fighting things. Definitely not fixed, I give up. Cars are pain.  
    • This week is the McLaren F1 GTR around Le Man.  I have a 3:48 ish I think (from memory) which is 2 secs off silver.  My issue is that I did a heap of the current daily race c around Le Man with the 787B first and switching to the McLaren is hard.
