Badges...

We're all familiar with current badges/logos.

But does anyone here know when then these other badges/logos were operating or for what periods of time?

I'm presuming correctly aren't I, that there must be some overlapping?

BNR32 enthusiasts. I have just found out that the Omori factory BNR32 inlet pipes are for install at omori only. I tried to order them and they would not sell. Even though I had about 8 thousand dollar parts order lol, so I will have some nice pics in a month or so :). They say NO!!!!! It is because of the customization that is needed to fit them. I guess they don't want shoddy jobs all over the world mis-representing their parts. This is kind of upsetting as I believe the carbon fiber pipes will be the same way once they are released. Which is what I originally wanted. So you are either stuck with stock customized twin turbo pipe, or go aftermarket and lose factory air box. Really disappointing. I think this is a new thing because people have bought them when visiting omori factory personally. They must have changed there minds for some reason. I really do like the look of the Trust air suction kit (which im sure sounds really good to). But I like that stock, nismo, look :( It's a sad sad day......but on the bright side....I got a 2k refund LOL. Maybe i'll just get some suspension arms or something instead.

Unless you ship your car to them for work to be done. Which would be totally awesome....but super expensive lol.

Thats a shame mate, i think with some of the really limited stuff they are getting tired of foreigners cleaning out their stock and having nothing left for their own customers.

You might be able to find a second hand set in the future so keep an eye out. If i see one ill let you know :)

Yes thank you. At this point, if they release carbon intake pipes, I might just save up and ship the car over for engine overhaul and carbon intake pipes. But that would be in the future lol. If I'm going to ship a car to them, I might as well make the trip worth it.

I guess you missed the part where I said engine overhaul lol. Either S2 or just a final spec. Depends really on what it would cost and funds etc. My life style is pretty crazy lol. But there is plenty of things you can have done while its there. If the only way to get these parts, is by them only, then I'll do what I have to do. Custom Omori name plate in the engine bay would be a nice touch also. It's more than a hobby to me. But as far as intake goes, I wouldn't bother for the aluminum. If they come out with carbon pipes and the box, then I would take this idea a little more seriously.

Actually though i saying that...

You avoid the taxes on the new parts if you ship your car in. If you are looking at buying that much worth of stuff, the tax you don't pay probably pays for the shipping.

ah yes I didn't even think of that. Not to mention the shipping of actual part from Japan to USA would have to be added in individual item prices to. So it would probably come close to the same. I know you can get engine overhaul anywhere. But I want a nismo motor(if possible). I basically have all the nismo bolt ons already available to public and GCG hi flowed -7s. I'm waiting till the engine starts to show fatigue though before thinking of crate motor or just general overhaul

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
