From my experience with buying things through Jap Warehouse, the guys there are pretty honest, good people, it was good to deal with them.

Whatever you do - Don't let anyone tell you that you need an aftermarket ECU for the EVO.

Your stock ECU is fully tuneable, the same as Nistune is for Nissan only better. Good mate of mine tunes EVOs :)

The stocker ECU also has some of the best functionality you can get for a street car, best of all, it's free.

Hey Scotty I wouldn't go past Pro-Tek or you could check out Chasers mate for their knowledge of Evo's and overall workmanship. PM on the latter as they're not as 'polished' on their job completion, as of recent with a couple of friends who own evos.

They might be a bit out of the way, but It's worth the peace of mind. Oh and +1 on flash tune, I think It's around ~$500-550 IIRC from most workshops. Can't go wrong.

Footscray station is a short walk from Chasers, and then you're in the CBD in a matter of minutes. Or if you're really lazy, a taxi into the city would be cheap.

You near a train line that will go to Footscray station?

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
