Alexi,

When i looked at it on street view it has all the vertex signs out the front as well as Vertex Yokahama writing on the sign on the front of the building.

If you have some good places post them up as is hard to work out where some of these shops are particularly when you don't know Japanese.

Regards

Matt

Vertex is the name of the line of aero parts they make. The company is called Car Make T&E.

Car Make T&E is located here. You can see it across the street.

The workshop where they actually build cars is called Sui:Vax (pronounced "swee-vah") and is kind of nearby, located here.

It is hard working out where some of these places are and if you were thinking of going over would be easier having the google link location so you can work out which train to catch and where to go. If you have the time would be great if you can add for the wider audience any further ones that come to mind.

Would be good if a mod can edit my first post with the correct links???

Whilst there earlier this year we managed to stumble across a few places completely by accident. We were at a small place ordering a feed off the vending machines when we saw this place (Garage A) over the road, unfortunately I have no idea where we were at the time.

They had a crazy LHD FC RX7 and a few sound comp vans. The bloke that ran the place was a nutter, he sat in the van at 120db with no ear plugs or anything.

If you're over there and Alexi helps you out, try to convince your mates that carrying on like a wanker is rude and disrespectful - especially in traffic. :down:

I actually just got back, speaking to the guys @ T and E there is a few other workshops around where there factory is. JIC was one of them, not sure if this is just the service factory or the actual factory as didn't get a chance to check it out.

JIC Japan

A lot of these larger places don't sell to the public but through dealers so addresses on web sites seems hard to work out,

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 馃槢   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When鈥檚 the tow ball on the 33 coming? 馃檭
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
