  • 2 weeks later...

have a mate who went to the meet today said it wasn't that great of a turn out. He asked Joe face to face if the business was his. Joe admitted straight out he is the man behind team wild speed. it pretty much is his business that he has set up and bank rolling with koval as his bitch

Then again what car dealer doesn't trim up odometers on imports? easiest way to make money as there are less chances of them getting busted when compared to local cars.

I'm sure all our skylines (maybe not Terry's) have BS kms.. dash has been swapped over 1000 times like a dirty hooker and shared with Craig Thompson a few hundred times.

That civic type R was a trade in. I personally know the previous owner.
"He sold me a Honda Civic Type R, and the engine blew in 5 weeks of ownership. I had only done commuting from work and back for 5 weeks, and I racked up just over 2000km in that time."
Yes, because Andrew was advised by an ex-friend to top up his oil, which he didn't and decided to take the car on a rev happy lap around Nasho (where the engine blew)
"you sold us a car with 62,000km on the clock, but when Sam posted the pics on JDMST, the cars dash had shown 132,000km. When we brought this to your attention and asked for the paperwork from Japan for the 10th time, you threatened us with legal action."
The car was traded in at 80,000+km
Joe couldn't give the paperwork as it was a trade-in
Car was original from IMG (in stock form)
"You even sold me a car without a catalytic converter and without an air box, and when I asked for these defects to be fixed you blatantly lied that the car came with those items. Even though you had pictures of the car with an Apexi Short ram intake on carpoint.com.au."
True, the car was traded in with a straight pipe to a magnaflow axleback. No oem airbox as it came with an Apexi Short ram intake with a heatshield
two sides to every story
Both parties have lied.

    • 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.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
