This has been a matter of conjecture for quite sometime and I think it's about time we got some thoughts on the matter.

Below are some Jap terms we all use, but let's clarify the pronunciation!!!

Apexi - "Apex eye", as in Apex of a corner, or "Ah" "pecs" "ee"

Greddy - Greddy. "Gr" "eddy" like the name or "Gee" "Ready"

Jun - "June" the month or "Jun", like sun but with a J

Stagea - "Stage" "A", or "Stage" "e" "ah"

That's just to get started, feel free to add to the list but only after the above has been addressed!

Apexi - ah-pex (there's no freakin "i")

Greddy - Just how you see it "GREDDY" same as if you were coping a "HEADY"

Jun - Just how you see it JUN, as in how Irish people would say run :D

Stagea - Stehgee-A

Bride = brid

That's how I say it anyway. And if you search you WILL find the thread already done this.

Who cares anyway

do you want to know what the most common (mis)pronounciation is? or the actual japanese pronounciation?

the japanese is (phonetically):

ah-pec-sue

juhn (that's a downwards pronounciation - not 'joon')

sue-tey-jia

bu-ree-doh

I've actually never heard a japanese person say 'greddy' - but it's probably gu-reddie

Mmmm, burito! Hey I thought Apexi was becoming Apexera? I brought an AVCR a little while ago and it had a sticker on the box saying that Apexi was slightly changing it's name in 2005. And I read somewhere in an issue of HPI that GReddy stood for 'Great Eddy', not because of some legendary dude called Eddy but after some sort of weird air flow phenomenon. I say Gee Reddy, but who cares?

"There's very little meat in these gym mats!"

yeah but we speak english here...so we're after the english pronounciation

Which is why you'll get different pronounciations amongst english people because they're not english words. Sort of like castle. Car-sl or cass-l. Not really a right way, just a different way.

    • Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.
    • I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
    • Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)
    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
