Autos deportivos japoneses - La lellenda del clasico japones Skyline GTR vs Supra 80 Antes y Despues

Los autos deportivos de Japon desde los 90 a principios del 2000 fueron un fenomeno en Estados Unidos gracias ala pelicula “ Rapidos y Furiosos “. Esta generacion que compraba y siguen comprando estos autos llamada “ GENERACION X “ ( personas que nacieron desde 1965 a 1985 ) compraron estos autos deportivos para tunearlos y participar alas carreras ilegales cuales havia en esa epoca. 

La gente que nacio en esta generacion tenia anhelo a estos autos , en especial por el Skyline GT-R por que este modelo no fue exportado oficialmente por la marca NISSAN a Estados Unidos y era un auto que nadie tenia. Para tener uno tenia que traer del extranjero para importalo y eso es algo que nadie puede aserlo facil, por que los costos se elevan mucho y combiene mas comprar un auto del mercado domestico y con garantia. Digamos el supra 80 si fue importado oficialmente por la marca de la TOYOTA y era unos de los mejores autos para tunear en esa epoca. Para aserle competencia al supra tenian que utilisar el skyline GTR. Eso aqui en Japon es como el clasico de Real Madrid con Barcelona, unas de las marcas mas grandes de autos aqui en Japon que peleaban las carreras ilegales en las calles japonesas.

Inicio del fenomeno

Los autos deportivos japoneses que las marcas japonesas ofresen al publico por mas que deportivo que sea aqui en Japon tiene un sensor de limite de velocidad hasta 180 km/h , y todos los accesorios tambien es lo basico. Por eso si no tuneas tu auto nunca ganarias ninguna carrera empesando de cortar el limite de velocidad algo que es ilegal para los autos que manejan en Japon. Pero eso tambien fue algo que empeso como fenomeno aqui en Japon por los fanaticos ala velocidad que tuneando su auto lo combertias en un auto unico del mundo y mas rapido que todos. Claro que rompiendo las leyes japonesas. 

En todo el lugar del mundo existe personas de la misma edad cullas tiene dinero y otras que son pobres. Pero en el trancurso de la vida asi seas pobre en una epoca , despues de 20 años pueda que se combiertan en pernas con dinero y una vez que tengan dinero empiesan a darce sus jobis. En este caso la GENERACION X siempre amo alos autos japoneses de esa era y si no los compraron antes ahora los estan comprando. Los autos deportivos de estas epocas eran muy buenos y fasiles de tunearlos a comparacion de los auto europeos deportivos de lujo y en toda generacion la gente quiere algo que no tiene el otro, por eso mismo tunear un auto japones y aserlo un modelo unico era mucho mas economico y rapido. 

En estos autos deportivos de esta epoca hay modelos que hoy en dia en Japon valen el doble el doble de precio. Ami persona Tambien le gusta los autos antiguos de estas epocas pero tambien los autos deportivos de ultima generacion son bellison. Y si estan mas baratos que los antiguos que ahora son como reliquias para los coleccionistas , y por eso mismo yo prefiero comprar uno nuevo. Pero siempre cada humano tiene su gusto y nadie le puede justificar eso. 

En conclucion veamos que autos son o seran los de ultima generacion y los antiguos de la generacion X y usted mismo eliga cual le gusta mas.

GR super sport  modelo de Enero del 2021
Futuro GT-R

Las fotos de los autos de la GENERACION X que estan puestos arriva estan tuneados al gusto de el dueño, los autos modernos de ultima generacion solomente esta con la fato basica sin tunear por el dueño. Todos se ven hermosos pero si tubiera que elegir uno,  ¿¿Usted cual eligiria ??

History of the automobile

Louis Renault with his first car

Definition:
A car is a means of transporting passengers that depend on the presence of an engine that works by the interaction of an electric spark with fuel, which gives it the ability to generate kinetic energy to move from one place to another. Cars are among the most popular and widely used modes of transportation among people, so many professions are closely related to them, such as taxis that depend on the passenger paying a sum of money to the driver when connecting to the place he wants to go to.

Where was the first car in the world made?
The history of the automobile industry is rich and winding, and it may be difficult to trace accurately, but the first appearance of cars dates back to the fifteenth century AD; When Leonardo Da Vinci and Isaac Newton presented designs and sketches for cars, then; Inventors began many experiments with the automobile industry, which diversified its working methods and forms. The first real car with a steam engine was manufactured in 1769 AD by inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot in France in Arsenal Paris, and the three-wheel car was self-working without external assistance; It was made for the French army.

The first electric car appeared in the nineteenth century AD in Scotland; Where inventor Robert Anderson created a car powered by an electric motor between the years 1832-1839 AD, and later the idea of ​​engines powered by fuel appeared, and the German inventor Karl Friedrich Benz worked on making the first car with a motor that works by supplying him with gasoline in Germany between the years 1885-1886 AD It was three-speed. After Benz, inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach built the first four-wheel-drive and diesel engine in Germany in 1886 AD, and the engine was named Cannstatt-Daimler.

Cars have evolved over time

The automotive industry went through a number of stages before it reached the shape we know today, and the following is a review of the stages of the development of the auto industry over time:

Steam car

The idea of ​​steam cars appeared at the hands of the French inventor Nicolas Joseph Cugnot in 1769 A.D. Every 10-15 minutes to recycle the steam in its engine, and after a year, Cugnot built a steam car that can seat four people. After that, the inventors continued to build electric cars in several countries, including: The United States of America, and Great Britain; In the U.S.A, Oliver Evans was given the first patent for a steam car in 1789 AD, and in Britain, Richard Trevithick built the first steam-powered vehicle in 1801 AD.

Electric Motor car

Electric motor cars began to emerge after the Hungarian invention of Anyos Jedlick model of a small car powered by electricity in 1828 AD, and between the years 1832-1839 AD, Scottish inventor Robert Anderson built a real car driven by an electric motor, and in 1842 AD cars were built with a renewed motor - but not rechargeable - by Thomas Davenport and Robert Davidson, in 1865; French Gaston Planté built a car with a better battery; Where I took the batteries after improvement. In the beginning of the nineteenth century, Great Britain and France began to support the electric motor car industry, and in 1895 CE America began to support electric motor cars as well, and in 1897 AD actual electric cars began to be used in New York City as a fleet of taxis.

The actual application of cars powered by fuel engines started by Karl Benz in 1885 AD, and they were of high specifications compared to the cars that were present at the time; Where the car was a high-speed, and its engine has one cylinder and installed horizontally in the back of the car, and its steel frame is made of steel, and consisted of two seats and three calves attached to wires. After Benz, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach built a four-wheel-drive vehicle powered by a fuel engine, and they were leaders in the auto industry in the United States of America.

Car boom

The auto industry thrived after the invention of the fuel-powered engines, and the manufacturers began buying engines from Benz and Daimler to build modern cars, and René Panhard and Emil Levasseur were the first to establish a car manufacturer; Where they built the first car in 1890 AD using a Daimler engine, and made great changes to it, such as the transmission of the engine to the front of the car and the use of the rear-wheel drive system, and shared the rights of the Daimler engine with Armand Peugeot in France.

In the United States of America, the brothers Charles and Frank, Charles Duryea and Frank Duryea periodically established the first fuel-powered carmaker in 1893AD, sold 13 cars until 1896AD, but they were very expensive, and continued production until the 1920s, followed by Ransom Eli Olds who was He had a long experience in the manufacture of steam engines and those that run on fuel, and he established a company for the auto industry in 1901, and his company was the pioneer in the automotive industry in America between 1901 - 1904 AD, then Henry Ford entered the automotive industry, and established a new manufacturing line for cars in 1903 AD; Where he was selling cars of his own design.

The modern car

The modern cars we use today have developed very significantly. This is because of the great industrial development that has entered the automotive industry, which has become better designs and more space, as technology and smart systems have entered into its industry; Where modern cars have touch screens, the ability to work with voice commands, and mobile phone connectivity to the car system; Thus controlling a number of functions through the mobile phone, in addition to cutting out the modern cars from the key and replacing it with the start button, as the car systems have become dependent on the electrical system that helps in their work, and not completely relying on fuel, thus helping to save fuel consumption significantly.

Founded in Tokyo in 1995, Nikkyo company was among the first in Japan to offer online shopping of used cars for the international export. With its Overseas eCommerce site developed exclusively to serve our customers around the globe.

Toyota's Last Mid-Engine Two Seater
CAR NEWS 2020/04/15

Toyota's Last Mid-Engine Two Seater

The Japanese cars are now concentrating on the fuel economy and environmental friendliness, which is boring from what I see.  This is why I thought of introducing something different from the 20 year old.

What reminds you of the Toyota’s mid engine 2 seater? I’m sure most will say MR2, which discontinued on 1999. It was a looker, but it is getting extremely hard to buy a good one with NZ condition. Today, I’ll put aside the MR2 and introduce the MR-S

MR-S started it’s life from 1999. It is a successor of the MR2, but this a brand new platform especially made for MR-S.

It is not turbocharged or supercharged, so it is not that powerful.  As you can see, it is not like a pure sports car, more like a “Light weight open air runabout” (It is even 80kgs lighter than NB Roadster!)

However, the pure concept between MR2 and MR-S are basically the same, which can be told from it’s name.

MR2: Midship Runabout 2seater
MR-S: Midship Runabout Sports open car

It comes with 5MT, and SMT (Sequential Manual Transmission from year 2000 model) (There were traditional 5AT on 1999 model, and 6MT from 2002).

Since it is a convertible, it is not good for grocery shopping, but I think it is good to cruise in this with the roof down!

How do you like this fun little car?

Finding the Chassis and Engine Number of Your Vehicle
HOW-TO 2020/04/15

Finding the Chassis and Engine Number of Your Vehicle

A chassis number is a serial number used to identify a motor vehicle manufactured before 1989. It is a series of numbers or letters attached to or stamped on a vehicle by its manufacturer. You can usually find a chassis number in the engine bay or on the chassis itself. The chassis number may also appear on the vehicle registration papers.

The chassis number is the last six digits of your car’s Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), so you need to find the VIN to determine the chassis number. Cars and motorcycles list the VIN in different places, so where you look will depend on the type of vehicle you have. The engine number is the number that is stamped on your vehicle’s engine. If you are having trouble finding the VIN or engine number on your vehicle, there are several places that you can check.

1.Check your paperwork

If you do not have access to your vehicle or if you do not want to go looking around the vehicle for the VIN, there are several different pieces of paperwork that should include the VIN. Some of the documents that you can check include:

  • Title
  • Registration card
  • Owner’s manual
  • Insurance documents
  • Body shop repair records
  • Police reports
  • Vehicle history reports

2.Find the ID Plate on Your Vehicle

The ID plate is usually located on the firewall in the engine compartment or on the center pillar. You can also find the Chassis Number (VIN) on the locations below:

  • Front of engine block under hood
  • Front end of frame (old cars)
  • Driver's side interior dash
  • Driver's side door jamb (inside)
  1. The easiest place to find the VIN on your vehicle is right on the lower left corner of your dashboard. You should be able to read the number by looking through your windshield on the driver’s side of your car.
  2. You can pop your hoodand look at the front of the engine block. The VIN number may be written there on the block.
  3. Sometimes the VIN is written on the front of the vehicle’s frame, somewhere near the windshield washer fluid container. You go to the front of the car, pop your hood, locate your window washer fluid container, close the hood, and then inspect the vehicle’s frame near this area of your vehicle for the VIN.
  4. The VIN might also be located in the driver’s side doorjamb or on the doorpost. Open your driver’s side door and look around the edges of the doorjamb for a little white sticker.

    If your VIN is on the doorjamb, then it should be on the area of the doorjamb just below the level of the rearview mirror. The VIN number may also be on the opposite side of the driver’s side doorjamb, near where the driver’s side seatbelt latches.
  5. Peekunder the wheel well. Another place you can check is under your rear wheel well. You will probably need a flashlight to see the VIN if it is written there. You simply go to the back of your car, get down on the ground, and look up at your wheel well. Check both sides to see if the VIN is recorded there.
  6. If you have a spare tire in the back of your trunk and you haven’t found the VIN anywhere else, it might be back there. Pop your trunk, remove the spare tire, and look in the space where the spare is usually kept. The VIN may be written in this area.

Как надо подготовить авто к весне?
HOW-TO 2020/04/15

Как надо подготовить авто к весне?

1.Аккумулятор

Из-за часто включенного обогрева салона, запуска холодного двигателя влекут негативные последствия. Поэтому с наступлением весны необходимо провести профилактические мероприятия.

Проверьте уровень заряда батареи и почистить клеммы от окислов и налета. Если аккумулятор уже несколько лет – замерьте уровень электролита. Следует помнить, если количество электролита уменьшилось не из-за испарения, а из-за утечки или разбрызгивания оного, то нужно подливать электролит, а не воду.

2.Масло двигателя

Замену масла весной проводить не следует. Разумеется, если у вас не дизельный мотор. Для таких агрегатов специалисты советуют проводить замену строго по сезонам. Для обычного бензинового двигателя, в котором используются современные синтетические и полусинтетические масла, менять масло лучше по пробегу.

3.Технические жидкости

Вне зависимости от времени года и условий эксплуатации регулярно проверяйте объем антифриза в бачке, тормозную жидкость и прочие технические жидкости.  При низком уровне долейте до необходимого уровня. Помните, что какие-то виды жидкостей надо мерить на остывшем двигателе, а некоторые на прогретом.

4.Замена шин

Замена зимней резины на летнюю имеет важные особенности. Ночью могут быть заморозки, изменение температуры приведет к гололеду.После установки летных шин проверьте надежность затяжки болтов колес, давление баллонах.

Ferramentas e Itens que Não Podem Faltar em Seu Carro

Nunca se sabe quando nossos carros podem nos deixar na mão, por isso é sempre bom andar preparado. Aqui vai uma lista de ferramentas (itens) essenciais ou extremamente úteis que poderão lhe salvar em caso de problemas .

1 – Kit para Troca de Pneus

Ande sempre com o macaco hidráulico, chave de rodas, triângulo e claro, o pneu sobressalente em seu carro. Estes são itens essenciais em sua viatura.

2 – Cabo para dar Carga na Bateria

Muitas vezes podemos esquecer uma luz dentro do carro acesa por muito tempo, ou algum outro acessório eléctrico do carro em uso enquanto o motor esta parado por muito tempo descarregando a bateria.

Se tiver um cabo de carga em seu carro, basta solicitar a alguém passando de carro no local que lhe deixe puxar carga para uma partida e pronto, uma vez o motor em funcionamento, o alternador fará o serviço de recarregar a bateria.

3. Ferramentas Básicas

Sempre bom andar com um kit, mesmo que simples, de ferramentas, com duas chaves de fenda (+ e -), um alicate universal e um alicate pequeno de ponta. Muitas vezes precisa apenas apertar um parafuso para que seu problema seja resolvido.

ITENS ÚTEIS.

Se possível, sempre ande com estes itens em seu carro, também poderão lhe tirar de um sufuco.

4. Fusiveis

Sempre leve fusíveis extras em seu carro, pois são fáceis de queimar, e pode perder muitas funcionalidades do carro caso aconteça. São extremamente fáceis de repor.

5. Fitas Adesivas e Braçadeiras de Plástico

Parece até brincadeira, mas uma fita adesiva ou a braçadeira plástica pode fazer um reparo temporário até que encontre um mecânico para efetuar o reparo definitivo.

Com estes itens em seu carro, com certeza estará bem preparado para diversos contratempos que possam aparecer. Nunca se esqueça de procurar um mecânico experiente após fazer um reparo temporário, para que possa usufruir mais tempo de sua viatura.

Inspeção Intertek ainda necessária?

Ultimamente ouve se rumores de que a inspeção pré-embarque para produtos importados, incluindo viaturas usadas, não é mais necessária.

Estão circulando algumas cópias de documentos supostamente emitidos pelas autoridades tributárias e alfandegárias de Moçambique atestando que a partir de Janeiro não é mais necessária a inspeção pré-embarque realizada pela Intertek.

OS 06_AT_DGA_900_2020 - Sobre Inspecção Pre Embarque na ImportView PDF

A Intertek por outro lado diz não ter recebido nenhuma nota oficial das autoridades Moçambicanas e continua efetuando as inspeções normalmente para aqueles que assim a solicita.

No momento não há nenhuma informação oficial que tenha chegado a nós, mas já vemos vários importadores não solicitando a inspeção pré-embarque.

Esperamos que este impasse seja logo esclarecido.
