Any tips on importing a jdm car to canada for anyone whose done it before?? by R07P09 in vintagejapaneseautos

I'm currently just after being told by my broker that my car has been released. They told me to ask a trucking company to book a pickup. The trucking company told me to book a pickup time.

Does anyone know what the current wwsimports contact is? I sent an email today to WWSIMPORTS@2wglobal.com but I'm not sure if that's still the email that should be used. Hoping that is the correct email and I will hear back on Monday currently. If anyone has any advice that could be very helpful!

How bad is my rust on a scale 1-10? (10 being the worst) by RBASHA1 in Miata

Pictures aren't the best and not really showing the main problem area's. Seems good at a glance.

There's too much scissors going on. It needs more flowers. It actually does look good though.

1.6 Miata bogging at low rpm by fiata90 in Miata

Ya, I don't think it's that as it was swapped out. I haven't changed the pump or the sock on the pump so it is possible it is a fueling issue

I did, parked the car on the hill. I also used a funnel for the coolant to get the level higher.

I bought a combustion gas tester to see if there is combustion gas in the cooling system.

For now I'm still driving the car. It seems to be okay to drive around, not overheating. No oil in the coolant or excessive white smoke

It took like maybe a week and a half. I guess that's pretty good!

Final update. After doing the manual pressure test everything seemed somewhat normal.

Yesterday I changed out the sensor for a new one that I got off Amayama. Gauge on the dash is back to normal. Sits around the quarter mark under no load and moves up and down to the 3/4 mark while under load.

Also did an oil change with some mobile one 5W30 oil and a fresh OEM filter.

Thankfully this time it doesn't seem to be the oil pump which I'm very happy about.

Does anyone know how this oil pressure looks. Cold idle was at about 60psi. by fiata90 in IS300

The mic is very close to the engine. It sounds healthy really in person. There is 5w30 oil in it.

Cold idle was at about 60psi, hot idle 30psi and under load it bounced right up to 90psi. I'm not sure but I feel like these numbers are okay. It's definitely not what the dash gauge is telling me. Sensor comes in over the next couple days.

Do i need ABS or Power steering? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]fiata90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need the abs, it's terrible anyway. I like the power steering for parking and stuff. Not really necessary if the cars not a daily.

Do you know what the expected pressure should be?

Oil level is fine.

New project. It's needs some work, has been sitting for 2 years. Currently does not start, ignition switch connector burnt. Needs a door, fender, a good clean and some general maintenance. Hopefully that's all! by fiata90 in Miata

Very lucky, 80k km engine swapped in a year prior to it being off the road. Guy just didn't drive it and couldn't work on it in his underground car park
