Just because u heard they are shit doesnt mean they all are. Ive had big fark off excuses for quality built here in aus. Need some data behind that statement Luke. Which brand etc...?

If u buy a brand item like HKS or trust etc chances are it will be top quality and will work no probs. Buying a chinese knockoff then sure it will have problems.

I do believe on an item like an ic kit though if u find one in Aus thats a good price and well built then go for it.

I cant complain about the quality of my just jap special apart from the fact they sent me an rb25 one, fitted alright had to do some modifications to the piping but that was because it was the wrong kit.

All of these chinese knockoffs are killing the market for quality jap parts

how are they killing the market? is it because they work?

clearly if they were shithouse and didnt function properly then they wouldnt be sold, looks like so far a selection of them have been diong the job and people have been buying them cause they are cheap and work ok.

I mean what are you paying for if you get a HKS cooler, is it name, r&d or cost of manufacture. My guess is ALL the mentioned.

There killing the market because you cannot guarantee the quality of Chinese parts, its a gamble if it will work or need mods to work. Everybody buys the cheaper option forcing jap brands to decrease their costs and move to china.

Half of the jap brands are owned by chinese companies and if it continues the big brands such as apexi, trust, hks will have to manufacture their products in China. We will all still have the same parts available just quality will be lower

I knew I studied microeconomics for a reason

I am perfectly happy with my JustJap kit on my R34 .... I had a $1,200 genuine Hybrid kit on my S15 and I can't tell the difference between that and my $300 JustJap one.

I just installed a just jap kit on my car a week ago, quality wise it seemed fine to be and didn't perform any better then the Hydbrid core i had on the car before, only prob i found with it was it fitted really badly.....

I got my fmic through just jap and i haven't found any reason to complain about it. I didn't personally fit it but the guy who did didn't tell me he had to modify it. It does the job for the purpose it was bought for. Depends how much power you want out of your 34 i guess, wouldn't it? Are you intending on taking it down the quarter mile for a 10 sec pass or just want to make it faster?

hey cheers guys i went out tonite and got a Blitz LM from auto barn 20% off got it for 1100 so yeh not bad has any1 got 1 installed on thier skiyline with pics? cos in the lil booklet thingy it has a picture of the cooler on a car and its sorta on an angle just wondering if thats how its meant to be?

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
