lol... SiR sounds got something.. i said "okay" because my friend seemed like hes been looked after well by those guys.

haha Good luck.

i bought mine at Top Secret Imports. if you want more info for those guys, im more than happy to help you out. PM me if you are really wanting/ready to buy.

that friend would be me.. had no dramas with em n hav been very helpful for the most part.. SIr can you let me know what experiences youve had with em.. curious to see if i should keep goin there to get work done.. also ogz can you pm me where to buy the LEDs again :D

yer the ones on parra rd. They seemed to be well informed and pretty straight forward but after that incident regarding the supra im having doubts.

visiting their warehouse was the clincher for me,I was turned off for a couple of reasons I think we spent about 10mins there and left.

Not saying all their cars would be duds, but shop wisely and don't fall in love if you do see something that interests you there.

ohh i see whats goin on.. all imports and japlink are separate dealers.. all imports simply moved from their dodgy warehouse to either renting or possibly bought the space right next to japlink that used to be owned by japlink.. i remember when i looked at my car there at japlink i walked into all imports and the guy came up to me and was like can i help you, i said i already talked to your other guys (at japlink) and he said they were separate dealers... far as i know japlink does all their compliance work as well as some of edward lees..

i will add however that my dad bought his 4dr V from all imports and everyone is impressed with not only the car but the condition..

what was it that turned you off?

Someone else told me to just go look myself as they wouldn't offer an opinion.

So I went and looked at a car I was interested in, the car itself I was over it after one lap of it, and there was a lot more interesting stuff going on elsewhere in the place, a chat here or there and the confirmation in another threads thats where the Supra came from and reading on evolutionoz, I was out of the place didn't want to take the risk given their history. If you want specifics just pm me.

yer the skyline ive been eyeing at their dealership looks straight n clean but due to their history im having doubts.

I also asked for the auction sheet or any documentation from japan and their like the car was bought from a dealer in japan so theres nothing like that.

He seems confident about the condition of the car thoough saying if u want someone to inspect it i can get someone n it will be done at his warehouse, but to me its all dealer talk.

I like the car as its got the full leather seats n brembos but is it a risk worth taking is something i gotta ask myself.

be sure to check all the fine print on the extended warranty. Many warranties on the market only cover a set amount, ie only $1000 for the engine, $500 for electrics. And they require you to get the serviced by a shop every 3 months.And if you need to make a claim, they make you take it one of their authorised repairers and they charge you for a quote on the repair. Then if the agent confirms the item is faulty they send the paperwork to the warranty company. Then you gotta wait for them to approve it.

Why don't you import yourself from an auction?

then you will have auctions sheet, hopefully Log book and spare keys!!!

all you have to do is convert Fm

I bought a V35 off Allimports/Japlink last week, allowed me to have any tests I wanted done to the car, were more than helpful. The car is as you would expect for a 5 year old car from Japan, has some marks /small repairs but overall very good condition.

Cheers

    • Um.... This is not easy. I will have a fiddle with it, but make no promises. I think, given the explicit resistances vs temperature, and your ECU measured voltages, it should be possible to match them up. I will do that by assuming a 5V supply from ECU to sensor, find out how much current would have to flow to produce that voltage, then use that current as a .... nah f**k. That won't work. The supply voltage is fixed, but there's nothing to say that the ECU regulates the current too. Um... I dunno. I guess there's a voltage divider setup in the ECU. As in, there's another resistance between the ECU's sense terminal and ground. That way, as the sensor resistance changes, that's how they get a floating voltage that varies with the temperature, without having to control the current. Give me a minute or 3.
    • *that* is a question for chatgpt (or someone that understands maths....but I'd try chatty). Drop them the table and ask for the formula
    • Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT
    • Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol. 
    • Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
