Re: D1 Website

Quote from the Site:

We have over 20 years experience in performance vehicle tuning, drag racing, drift and circuit, both in Japan and Australia.

My Brother is only 27, how can he have that experience??? He also isnt interested in Drags and Curcuit and he never did either of them in Japan??

1 of my mate own a performance shop in hk, so i am thinking of importing parts, as it's even cheaper than Japan, if i can match the prices of Greenline, but offer people of choice sending by sea(save a lot from postage), plus i might able to get them tax free or a bit less (if u purchase from them, u have to pay 15% to the custom and 10%GST) will u guys order from me?

well, i match the price of Greenline, they seems to be the cheapest i seen in Aus. But i offer cheaper post method and paying less tax http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartli...ntake=FI#engine

If u can get a qoute cheaper than greenline, let me know, i think i still can match it. First, i should get parts cheaper than them, second, i am not a shop, i don't support my living by selling parts....

for how long they arrive aus. that's all depends on the post office... the sooner u want, the more postage u pay.

if people are interest, i might start organise something about it.

EMS postage from Japan for 6 injectors only cost me 31 dollars, and I know when its arriving as they have a tracking number, so its not a big expense.

Its ok to buy stuff from os - god knows I do, but that is if you want new, and you can fit it your self - If it was something that I couldnt fit myself, I personally would buy it local and get them to fit as well, may cost a few extra $$, but at least you have peace of mind and a guaranteed result.

Also for second hand and hard to find parts, you can see what you are getting and if it doesnt work you have a comeback.

Good and bad on both sides I guess

Lastly IMO if it is only a couple of dollars more to buy local, why not support adelaide business? They put something back into the community.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
