ah i didnt see this bit;

There will be no problems ordering of Apexi products, as the car parts division will keep running as normal.

We, Apexera are applying for Minjisaiseiho (I don’t know what this is called in English but if translated it means something like Civil Reformation). It’s a type of government support as part of bankruptcy law in Japan. It doesn’t mean the business is finished as yet.

The trouble came out of our other divisions of the business (home security systems, telecommunications etc).

We do not forsee problem in the near future and your orders will not be affected.

thats alright then

They probably would get 1 in a 100 that actually work like everything else they try re producing.. they screwed the market with all their copied crap poor apexi :O

its funny you say that....

80% of shit you have at home or on your car would be made in China..did they all fail?

EVERY SINGLE car maker nowadays has their production plants in china to produce some parts on the cars...

maybe get ready to start walking again huh?

hi,

i ordered an rb26 PFC it took approx 1 month and nearly 2 weeks to arrive from jap land.

last time i ordered a PFC about 3 years ago it was paid and sent on the friday and i had it at my place on the monday morning.

nengun get deliveries from apexi at the end of the month so if you order in the middle you wont make the monthly run and youll have to wait another

Well the 'little' china, Taiwan, had been a well known manufacturers of computer and motherboard PCB products, it's like the silicon valley of the asia.

but again, the old comrades China, even though crappy products also come out from there, again most products you have in your home, be it plasma tv, cameras, dvd players, clothings, shoes, fridge, fans, airconds, your mobile phones, etc. are now mostly made in China.

It is not where it is made that makes something a bad product, it is bad quality control that makes something a bad product.

You can bash chinese products as crappy products as you like now, but if you remember it, japanese products were bashed just as badly after they lost the WW II, no one wold want to buy made in Japan as they're basically knock-off copies of American products. But look at what Japanese products has become and evolved to such high quality products over few decades after the grimmy WW II era. In the 80s-90s, all the best are made in Japan. Before China starts to take over, mainly due to cheaper production and labour cost.

India could be next, and who knows when Indian made products become non-economical 40 years from now due to rising cost, Africa might be the next place to invest, and Africa in the future might just as well be just like China today... the economic wheel will keep turning. No region will stay on top of the wheels all the time.

was looking for confirmation after greddy/trust is told goin bankrupt as well following apexi, and as i hadn't been tinkering with any turbos since I sold my trusty old R33 gtst long time ago, I couldn't believe the rumours. should have checked the dates though.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
