1. What's with the v-opt.co.jp sticker? Every car seems to have it and every car seems to have it in the same place. Who are v-opt.co.jp?

2. I've noticed a lot of drift cars have only a single front windscreen wiper. Is it an expensive conversion? Why would they bother? Would this be illegal in Australia for road use?

its put there because its stuck there on the D1 GP cars

2. not entirely sure on that. maybe less weight?

Option run the D1 series, part of your entry will be that you have to the sticker on the car.

It is like the Konica stickers on the Konica V8 Supercar series cars. No matter who your sponsors are if you enter the series you have to have those stickers on it.

V opt is the sponsor sticker.

Single wiper is illegal as far as I know.

Proper conversions I think MAY be ok but may require engineering.

I know people who take both off, then put their wiper at a different angle on the stock driver side bolt that turns the wiper.

This results in the wiper being in the middle of the passenger side screen most of the time - i think its stupid.

I would spend the money on doof doof or power :D

Option is a car mag for enthusiasts in japan. They've been goin since like 80's.

Dai is one of the guys who runs Option. They publish Option, OPtion2, Option3 etc, each one is for a different type of car. Option2 is a tuning mag sorta (which is what I collect). Option3 I think is for Kei cars and so on.

v-opt are video option, the AV part of option. They are the major sponsors of the D1 competition.

I'd say do whatever you want to your car :(

it's yours and who cares what anyone else thinks?? you like it and that's all that matters

Yes this is true, and we will all laugh at you...nobody does it here bar the small % of try hards. For the plain and simple fact it's only for race cars involved in D1...do you see anyone going around with F1 logos/decals or touring car decals!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Alright. Exhaust has been looked at, and booked in 'soon'. I'm not 100% convinced it's going to be as good as possible but I'm going to go with it anyway. If I get a reasonable thing that works for 10 years I mean that's twice as long as I've lived with the current one. I have a more pressing issue. I have fixed my MPVI3 (by buying a new one). Excellently, one can wire in analog 0-5v inputs to the ECU itself. I had wideband already via Serial so I also wired it in via the direct input. The idea being I can use the standalone logging without a laptop and have Wideband data in it. The other wire I thought I'd use oil temp. This is where I've gone crazy. HPTuners requires you to implement a formula so you know how much volts = how much temp. This seems relatively simple to me. However I cannot find the scale for this anywhere on the internet, nor decipher how to figure it out without removing the sensor from the car. All I know is that voltage actually goes up as temperature goes down. I am using the actual gauge, so I can see what the temp is. The signal wire has been branched off into the MPVI3. EXAMPLE: 2.68v = 58C 2.7 = 57C 2.74v = 56C 2.8V = 54C 3.06V = 49C 3.18V = 47C 3.37V = 43C I think the gauge is 50-150C. It may be more. It may be less, because I can't find it for the love of f**k. It appears all the information about the gauges I have has been scoured from the internet, but the sender is VDO 320.021 I believe the resistance chart is this How the f**k do I convert this to a voltage? Once I have a voltage... I then have to perform this transform of said voltage to show it in the scanner: https://www.hptuners.com/help/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm @GTSBoy you're probably my only hope here TEST YOUR MIGHT

      Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol.

      PAT / Premier Auto Trade parts?

      Hmm. I had a good look (w/o searching, because I'm not logging in) and couldn't see it either. I distinctly recall the thread, not many weeks ago. It must have been removed or perhaps put into the back section. If it was in Off Topic you should at least have been able to search it up. So if I'm not hallucinating, it is fairly decently removed.
