Is there something up with Kudos Motorsports right now? I've ordered from them in the past and they used to respond to emails super fast but I've sent them five emails over the past 3 weeks and got a reply to just one. I know they probably closed for the holidays but even before then I wasn't getting replies. I would have assumed they would be open again come this past Monday but still no replies. I'm in the US so I can't just pick up the phone and call.

Over a month ago I placed an order for about US$1500 in parts and they said they'd get back to me on the status two weeks ago but that was the last I heard from them. I still need to order some wheel bearings and other stuff but don't want to do so if I can't even get in touch with them about my existing order. I know their website was on the fritz for a while but not it seems fine so I'm wondering what gives now. I had thought highly enough about Kudos that I recommended them as a parts source for US owners on my blog. I hope I don't have to retract that recommendation and they get back to me soon.

So has anyone been in touch lately with Kudos?

They do come through, I had an issue at the end of last month where I was e-mailing Andrew about an order (this is while the webiste was having difficulties) and part of my order was on wait for parts from Japan.

I forgot about it, and then followed up two weeks later with e-mails, calls and messages on facebook, I never got a response but the products came through about two days after attempting contact on fb.

I then placed an order just last week through the website and had the product arrive the next day.

I hope it works out for you.

Thanks for all the reassuring responses guys. To update on my situation, I never did get a response to my emails from Kudos but on the good side I did end up receiving my earlier order from them a few days ago. Because of that I went ahead and placed an order on their website for a couple of other parts I need but some other stuff that they could probably have sourced but aren't listed on their website I'm going to have to get elsewhere since I can't get through to them. Hopefully that situation improves soon because they used to respond so fast to emails.

I can't recommend Kudos highly enough. I've ordered heaps of stuff through them over the last few months. Really well priced and fast postage. Andrew even personally delivered some engine mounts to the workshop, on a Saturday arvo, 3 hours after I ordered them.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.

      I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
