Just give Todd over at Japlink Motors a call to help you out. I recently dealt with him for a personal import and the service was excellent. They know their stuff, their eesponsive and will help you get things right.

Highly suspect for your first ever post on the forum to be plugging one particular company Todd... Uh.....I mean Hipogtr. Tell us a little more about this 'personal import' of yours or is the make and model confidential? It was probably a mail order bride.

Suspend your cynicism, Alkatraz - Hipogtr (presuming it's the same person I think it is) just brought in an R35 with an entire Greddy catalogue on it, and yes Todd (and me too, by association...)helped him with it.

Thanks for the post, Kristian. Also appreciate all the work that you did to help with the import - great job and highly recommended for anyone wanting some support importing!

Alkatraz, I'll be happy to post photos in due course. Its a Stage 0 R35 at this point - the way I would have like it to arrive from Nissan. :)

I see a few members do not know me well.

Yes I help a lot of members when I can and a few are into me for engine builds, major repairs (pay as you go jobs - things you do for friends)

I will help anyone until they burn me.

The R35 refered to in this thread is the best I have ever had the privilege to see let alone work on and yes I have been to AutoSalon Japan.

If you get a chance to see his car you will probably agree, as the owner is like the rest of us - he loves his skylines.

If he every sold the car I would be at the head of the line to buy her.

    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
    • Being behind an RB25DET, we know he won't have the small box for long at all...
