    falken tyre price check

    Yea they don't do very well in the wet, I can agree to that. I've been wheelspinning every time it rains here, at every traffic light. They're low on tread right now, so i just need to replace em quick, no real preference for any other brands. Wouldn't a new set be fairly driveable in the rain?

    Anyway, I'll check out the price with your quotes in mind. I figured they might be around $260 each like qtvinsta said, which is still in my range. Has anyone used any better tyres that u'd get at the same price?

    car detailing questions

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hey all,

    Just need some info on where to go to get a good detailing job done for my car. I'm on the Gold Coast, so local names would help. The paint's got some patches where water droplets have stayed on the car, and magnified the sun's rays, eating through the paint ever so slightly. I've been told a good cutback of the paint will get this looking like new again. Does anyone know who I can see about this?

    thanks

    Prices for certain repairs

    Hey all,

    My car seems to be in pretty bad shape according to Gavin Wood....well, not bad shape, but not that great either. He's informed me of a leaking exhaust manifold (possibly warped in some way, or cracked), coil pack problems and a fuel pump that is dropping pressure up around 6000rpm.

    I just wanted to find out if anyone has experienced problems like this before, all at once. I'd just like to get some cost estimates from u guys cos it can help with my budgeting for it. Gavin is either looking to machine the manifold, or if that can't work, replace it. The fuel pump problem is gonna be solved by a fuel pressure regulator, and I guess new coil packs would be in order to.

    So if anyone could give me a good estimate of how much the parts can cost, that would be much appreciated

    Brisbane front bar heights?

    in Queensland

    Posted

    I gave my Bomex front bar a good crack when i misjudged the distance to a kerb at uni. It's the worst feeling in the world. What made it worse is that the bar is still around legal height, n bumps and anything else are no problem. Sometimes the fact that an aftermarket bar juts out a little bit more than usual can get u into trouble too. The bar is now actually cracked, but not where u can see it...just underneath. sux!

    custom cooler pipes, where's the best place?

    in Queensland

    Posted

    Yea i'm gonna ask Gavin tomoro to look at maybe modifying the pipes first, that might work out nicer. I'm told that the piping itself doesn't cost that much, it's the silicone hoses n clamps that are expensive. If he can modify or even replace the pipes, it could still work out cheaper cos the clamps are all there.

    Thanks again for the info guys, I'll check it all up.

    custom cooler pipes, where's the best place?

    in Queensland

    I have a kit already on the car, but my car has an aftermarket front bar, and the hybrid kit was probably made for the normal m-spec front bar. The result of this was that the cooler sits further back than I would have liked it to be.

    In addition to this, the fitting of the pipes inside the engine bay seems to be out of place slightly, and I actually did have to shave a bit of my fan to avoid the piping. I would just prefer to get a custom job done so that the cooler sits a bit further in front, and the pipes fit just right. It really looks messy under there at the moment.

    Hi all,

    i'm looking for a place that can make a good custom pipe setup for my R33. Have got a Hybrid piping kit on at the moment, but it doesn't fit that well, so I'm looking for a guy who can make me some new plumbing that suits the car better.

    I would assume Gavin Wood could do a good job of it, but I wanna know if there are any others. And what's a good price to pay for custom piping anyway?

    thanks,

    Zak

    King Springs

    I JUST put king springs on yesterday. They have been on for a matter of hours, but I like them already. Ride is stiff today, but they need some time to settle. I can update you with how they feel later on. Alot of my friends use them, and they have no complaints. For street driving they feel really good.

    thumbs up from me

    busted amp - where to fix?

    in Car Audio & Electrical

    Posted

    I've got a very simple Boss amp...it came with the car when I bought it. I don't really turn up the bass at all, cos the speakers were never really that good to begin with...the thing just died on me, n it took me a while to realise that the sub wasn't doing anything.

    I'd like to replace it, but if it can be fixed for a cheaper price, that's the only option I can think of for now. I'll speak to those guys, n see what can be done...thanks for that.

    Cooks, got ur pm...thanks again man, u've been a great help!

    I heard ChipTorque were a bit arrogant on the whole...they would like you better if the work requires heaps of money. I tested it out n went to them to ask for installation of an S-AFC with dyno tune, n they didn't look so accommodating. Something along the lines of: if u dunno how to fix that simple stuff, go n learn. They want the big projects where your car comes out like a beast...but not all of us have that kinda cash. Guess they're a bit like Subzero.

    Gavin Wood is still my service man...hands down
