What are you trying to find out..? Got any pictures..?

I think you're wishing a little too much. Unless the car is some fully built piece of work, i doubt they'll have that much info/let alone remember it without it being something significant.

Think about it this way.. A Japanese guy calls a little Australian tuning shop to ask about a skyline thats more than 10 years old to ask whether they know what has been done to it. What do you think the answer is going to be?

Don't wanna be negative but i don't know about your chances. Unless its like the Mines car posted above...

In saying that, i've been rong before (woops there i go again) I've been wrong before, so give us some more info!

Geez how long have you slackers been in Japan? Can't key in a simple katakana phrase for the poor lad and check the first 10 odd results? tsk tsk :D

tbag, I think this is the mob you're after: http://www1.ocn.ne.jp/~p-craft/

They're way over in Yamaguchi ken and I don't know anything about them, but if you look at the owners gallery they all sorts of cars but specializing in Skylines. Well at least you got some contact details now... but I agree with Poida, good luck in asking them for info on something they did up to 5+ years ago...

i totally disagree with you pete.

hes a gaijin. TICK.

ordered a hypo motor. TICK

paid in cash too!! TICK

get a grip mate. Buisness owners dont forget customers especially when it comes to these matters and you should know. Ive helped build ferrari,bmw and mercedes donks and ive never forgotten the face ( or in the companies case, the name ) of the guy who owns the motor. i could do an etch-a-sketch for you right now if you like!! :nyaanyaa::D;)

??? I answered his question?
so you sorted him with an IP...well done give yourself a big old pat on the back Daniel san...

Wait a minute.. its 5:30am and i realised just how little sense that made.

If hes a gaijin and ordered a hypo motor from said company and paid cash (not sure about that one) then why would he want to know their web address?! You'd think he'd find that first, then get the company to do the work....? *scratches head*... I'm confused..

Well anyway, i gotta go to work, so we'll leave it at that for now.. now wheres my pat on the back?

lol, he just said he knows nothing about this company. I think the logical assumption here is that he has bought/imported a car (either in aus, uk canada where ever). the owner/broker/seller has sold him a line about the car having a 'built' motor, and look here's a sticker on the car as proof... lol so now he wants to try and find out what's in this phantom build. I agree with rezz there is almost a snowballs chance, but it's worth having a go anyway. :D

haven we already established its a motorbike engine?

and regardless of whether or not he paid cash, blah blah..

if he wants to make an enquiry then whats the problem? still, i think his only problem will be communicating to the company.

pete you and rezz gave the guy the spanish inquisition.

you dont see my point...yours is even more unclear.

anyway, hes got his IP. end of story...

oh and rezz ive been around the block here a while myself. I think i know the score. ;):D

lol. have you been smoking the ol wacky backy? He has a skyline GTR, he's on skylines australia and the company in question doesn't appear to have anything to do with building motor bikes. my point was i can be 90% sure he's not in japan, and he didn't buy the engine himself, or pay cash at power craft to have it built. It was almost certainly in a car he's bought overseas.

and like I said there is no problem with trying, but you cut rezz in half for what seemed like pretty reasonable advice to me.

not true. I may be smoking weed but you havent read the thread.

did you not see laurences post or do you just have selective reading skills? The guy came on here to ask about a motorcycle engine.

jeez...

nice picture pete, gave me a right old giggle.

oh by the way, richard, you may be enlightened if you read the guys profile...

it was his first post. just cause the dude has "r32 gtr" written in his profile does that mean you instantly believe him? heck, i have a gallardo, enzo, macF1, ...

you should see my stable!

lol, laurence was being sarcastic. and on your advice I did just look at the guys profile and in it is a picture of an RB26, and it looks a lot like the ones on power craft (same colour rocker covers basically). and he didn't mention motor bike engines? you did!

I will make you a deal. when the dude comes back on-line we'll ask him. if it's for his GTR you owe me a few tokyo beers, if it's about a motor bike engine I'll be buying the beers, i'll even chuck in some ramen and gyoza afterwards. :D

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?

      Shifting questions

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
