Anybody using those 95$ ebay "made in china" specials with E85...

Are you succesful?

from what I read they are "Made from 6061-T6 aluminum." and they look to be anodised...which seems to be the recomendation for using alchold based fuels

Should i stay away and drop mega bucks on a better rail for just incase sakes or are they prefectly fine

:cheers:

I have a few here, they are 11mm anodised rail kits to suit rb25's. Other than the lower spacer for the plenum being shite, they seem good quality... I wouldn't be trusting any of the Orings supplied. You aren't saving that much in the scheme of things.

This for the 1J? Anything S/H on egay?

I am about to use an Aeroflow rail on my Neo head so will let you know how it goes. Got it for free so not sure if it's in the realm of an eGay special but it's no plazmaman. Seems to fit nicely so I think it should be fine. Quality looks decent too.

yeah for the JZ...but question is relevant to RBs as well as 95$ rails on ebay for them too....

all the other rails are 250-500$ , using new seals isnt expensive and some of my injector seals need replacing anyway

and i will have to modify spacers anyway for the shorty injectors i have,

so considering all i really need is the rail, I would think savings are signicant, i just dont want it corroding its insides out...

Im sure they probably have quality control and fitment issues like everything made in china, but that is a risk I am able to take as its not needed to work in a hurry

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
