just a quick one for anyone considering tacking this one - a big zip tie at the back of the gauge will also hold it in nicely

Sorry mate, meant Snowman swap with you whoops!

I know - Andrew - Swap boxes with Mashrock :sorted:

Chris, have you seen the stock 32 dump pipes?? Any change from them will be better than the stockers! You will be very happy with the new dumps, and at $500 you can't do too far wrong! I would be guessing around 265kws at the wheels? will your injectors be OK with the N1 turbos? I am heading up a similar route to you so will post my results in the next few months good luck

I have the trust dumps on my 32GTR. I noticed a big difference in midrange and top end with these. Combined with the full 3'' exhaust I think that the trust pipes are a very worthwile addition My only criticism is that they are a little bit heavy

Geoff: went to the Up Garage again today, seems as though all the hand controllers are sold with the respective PFCs... sorry about that. B1: the Up Garage I went to is... either the Kawasaki or Hiratsuka Tokkaido store... not sure which one but know how to get there. It isn't very big, but main reason I went there because it is on my g/f's house train line. There isn't a heap of stuff there. Suspension isn't a heap cheaper than second hand stuff you can get from people off the forums, plus it is damn heavy to ship over. I decided that the plastic has taken enough of a beating (bought a EVC-R today), so will get a new Power FC from Nengun when I get back and have some $$ :Oops:

Geoff - will look out for hand controller mate

Cameron / Geoff: they can't demonstrate as there are no 32GTRs there... the rough translation of the characters on the box is 'signal / data check before use'!!! don't think it is password locked... might just hedge my bets and get it and see...

Hey Guys, I'm in Japan at the moment and have found a second hand parts store that has a Power FC for my car (BNR32) for around 600 dollars with controller. I have a few questions - 1. the serial number is PFC RB26 9605-0387. Is there any way of telling how old it is? it looks to be in very good condition... 2. in my very poor japanese / english translations, the guy said that there was no maps on it... my question is- do all PFCs have a 'base map' that cannot be erased? I don't want to buy it and find that it has to be programmed from scratch. Thanks for your help in advance! BTW - i was like a kid in a candy store!! If anyone ever visits Japan, make sure you find an 'Up Garage'!!

I just used nissan matic D - the red stuff... brighton nissan and ICE Performance in melbourne seem to think that this is the stuff to use...

guys, HI FROM JAPAN!! would still really like to be in the shoot - back from japan the 9th so can we do one the next weekend? ...so far bought some Tomei cams... :Oops:

i've been to Super Autobacs in Tokyo Bay so far - Blitz is right - it is as expensive as in Australia... I've just been onle and checking out the prices as compared to Greeline or Nengun, and delivered to Australia Nengun / Greenline are cheaper... what's going on with that?!?! :confused:

and I'm off... see you in '05 peoples

that's what I like to see. cars being blowin up other than mine merry xmas and ny peoples

I have heard that powdercoating is quite difficult - have to get the temps right or else the finish will crack after time? One of the Vic boys with a GTR has white powder coated 33 GTR rims that have cracked quite badly...

If you can't correct the -ve camber, and don't have adjustable upper arms, dial in a little more toe and that should have the tyre wear across the contact patch a little more... but won't significantly reduce it

do you want my black GTR? I'm away until 9 Jan though... leave for Japan TONIGHT at 6PM suck it!

cheers yukz2daizzo!

Hi guys, I'm coming as of xmas day for 2 weeks, and have been looking for the addresses of any Super Autobacs or Up Garages in the Tokyo / Kawasaki areas... however, as I don't read japanese, I can't seem to find addresses on their websites. can anyone please tell me where there are at least one of each store around that area? it is kind of urgent, as I leave tomorrow cheers in advance and have a great xmas / NY !!
