how long now muz :(:)

Who knows!

J-Spec aren't being all that forthcoming with information. As far as I know it is still sitting on a wharf somewhere in Japan. I eventually got hold of someone called Ben there yesterday who indicated that he didn't know when it would leave Japan. He was supposed to send me an email with a full list of details which I duly received last night but it was corrupted (their end not mine) so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-sent but I'm still waiting. Must admit I'm a little unhappy with the services rendered and lack of communication thus far. I only used them as they are a sponsor of SAU and some people have given them good reviews.

I did find out that it will be complied somewhere in Sydney so WHEN it is available I will have it trucked direct to you or perhaps to my oldies in Brisbane and get it registered and then over to you.

I can only wait as I have done everything asked of me without delay.

cheers

I have had a PM from Craig Moor at J-Spec explaining situation. Also had an email from Ben who has given me the Compliance shop details. Look forward to chatting.

Yeah.....

I used them once.... When that car arrived to me I made them sell the one that was still sitting in Japan again, because I knew it was going to be rubbish.

Funnily enough, I got an email from the fella who bought it off me and said "The rims are bashed, the interiors cut up, kit is poorly fitted/quality, cracked bars etc...."

I guess now I just know a lot more people in the industry who i'd much rather go through.

Sorry if it sounded like I was somehow moaning about the vehicle, but I wasn't. I selected the car from the auction pics and data and if it turns out to be a dud then thats my problem not theirs. They were only advising on the same piece of information that I had. J-Spec have sent me about 140 pics of the car and I don't think I have bought a dog but only time will tell. My whinge was about the lack of commuication which seems to be fairly prevalent in all businesses these days so perhaps J-Spec are no different to the normal. My expectations might be too high?

Yeh, you wish it would be their problem not yours, but dont forget that you have paid for the car upfront and that well...you own it and they're not just going to pay you for a stinker.

I wouldnt expect that a reply to an email is asking for too much communication, they charge $1000 as a labour charge for the import. To give you an idea, most retail shops make 15-20% margins on their products, saying that, I answer all my emails (100+) on a daily basis. Thats a business with two people as well, I know for a fact that J-Spec has at LEAST 4-5 people working for them.

I am certain the car will be fine though, but as far as the service is, I wasnt pleased AT ALL... times 2

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      By djr81 · Posted

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
