I bought mine from Northshore 9 months ago, great purchase experience, but check your paperwork thoroughly - there was an issue with the engine number on mine (only a typo) and I had to sit around for an hour while Ben got it sorted.

But I had to ring Ben a couple of months back to talk to him about a couple of things done at compliance, and the response was "too bad so sad" - VERY unimpressed with the service after I'd signed the paperwork.

They still have clean cars, just check them over well, even little things like the location of the child restraint mounts, making sure the band expander works, and making sure they've actually done everything they were supposed to at compliance.

the thing that gets me is, my c34 is clean as, it really looks like its only a low km car and heres the killer, the car had been wound back in japan, because i went and looked at it the day it came out of customs, i went straight to the detailers where it was delivered straight from a container and it was filthy. i check the km's on that day and they were 84,xxx so mmmm bit dodgy, but what can you do... not much. just means ill be taking it in for a timing belt sooner than expected.

thats how the low klms get done, purchased from car yards gets done from his employee over there prior to even being advertised (hey preseto... new klms) thats why you get no evidence from were he got it!...

The first one i got delivered was the same... clean as around the car panel wise! but underneath.... rust , issues etc.

Also as a he is a licensed dealer, he must display this on the car or ( pm me for information)

to be able to sell cars under 10 years old less 150k klms without a stat warranty... He doesn't do it! so you have a three month warranty from purchase

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
