    Ok thanks for the good understanding, Is it possible for someone to update me with the new business contact numbers / address etc ?

    I sure want to keep using Adam / Morris as my preferred mechanics due to their excellent customer service and skills, so any information for me to get in contact with them would be much appreciated!

    Issues With Abs/4wd System?

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

    I need some help in trying to figure out what is going on with my car..

    So on the weekend i was driving home from getting my windows tinted and all of sudden my ABS & 4WD light came on, the car did not feel any different in any way. About 5 min later a pulled over and turned the car off for a minute then turned it back on and the lights were gone until about another 4 min later and the ABS light turned on and so did the 4WD light but the 4WD light was turning on and off in no particular pattern and it also dimmed at one stage however the car was still driving fine.

    Anyway i get home and turn the car off for a bit to check all the fuses and make sure the fluid in the boot space was alright and it was all good, i then came back a short while later to have a look again however this time when turning the car on i heard a continuous buzzing noise and the steering felt funny (hard) so i ended tracing the buzzing noise back to the black box on the ABS pump. I opened it up to find two relays so i assumed that is what was making the buzzing noise i pulled them out gave them a little clean and put them back in and started the car to find the buzzing noise had stopped but the ABS/4WD lights were still on?

    now i know that didn't solve the problem so im going to buy two new relays and replace them anyway because it is an old car and they are more then likely stuffed, but i need some help in diagnosing these issues?

    Can anybody suggest a good mechanic to take it to? I live near Rouse Hill NSW, i was thinking of getting in contact with MRC in castle hill but i have never dealt with them before. Im just not certain who might be the best to turn to for this kind of problem?

    I know someone is going to suggest diagnosing the attesa myself but i am not experienced in doing so and i would rather have the car looked at by a professional.

    Cheers!

    Yeh funny you mention it becuase my r33 gtr is completly stock down to the exhaust system and occasionally i get a little poping when de-accelerating, never really crackling but.

    how does your car perform with the 3.5 inch exhaust sytem on stock internals? only becuase im about to get a system made up but i was gonna go 3 inch? how loud is your system?

    Can anyone tell me where to get my factory Brembo brake calipers restored in sydney area?

    Looking to get them restored back to factory with the signage on them but perhaps a different color, and what is the best way for long term? (Spray painted / Hydrodipped)

    and how much would i be looking at to get them done?

    Wifi Diagnostic Ports...

    in Cosmetic, Styling & Respray

    Posted

    So to begin im sorry if there is other related threads to this topic but im slightly confused and cant seem to get a straight up answer..

    Im sure most of you guys have heard or seen these "WIFI Interface adapters" you can buy to read your cars Diagnostics through your smart phone? (iphone/Android/Ipad etc)

    Im keen to give it a go and have a little play around with one but however im not sure what Consult port my 96' R33 GTR S2 has, its a rectangular gray plug but however it looks nothing like the ones i am seeing for sale on ebay as they are all OBDII - OBD2.

    Has anyone purchased a wifi adapter for a skyline?? an whats the feedback like??

    I understand they arnt exactly "professional" but it sure beats spending $300 -$500 for like a Blitz R-vit or something similar.

    Yeh well i guess you're jman, I think i might do a little research into them once i have located a suitable badge i will contemplate if it worth it or not.

    btw; Does anyone know of any upcoming skyline cruises/meets around NSW, i only recently purchased my second Skyline (1st GTR)

    and im super keen to meet some fellow Enthusiasts! :yes:

    Yes correct, i was not talking about the rear garnish. i had just never seen this form of badge, only ever the "brushed metal" looking ones on most skylines. (eg my Bcnr33)

    so from what you guys are saying its not really worth doing is it?...considering my excisting badge is in fair condition for its age.
