gts-23q

Excellent thankyou for the suggestions. I never heared of unigroup or jem. will look em up.. See i knew thered be some suggestions lurking somewhere:)

Firstly id need whole diagram as i dont even know where the lateral G sensor is located. I think its in the centre console from what ive read. But youre right i will one day soon check all fuses first and check connections as much as i can but not having total diagram i might and probably will miss some connections needed. Also not knowing how the various system interact would make it harder for myself. Who knows my powersteering issues might be connected to the 4wd issues which might be due to the hicas lock bar being installed incorrectly. i mean its gets messier and messier as you go. Anyhow ill see how i go with suggestions of work shops first. I might speak to a few before i make a decision.

Nah not really having a crack at anyone just to me seems bit pricey for a mechanic to charge. I dont know perhaps its not too much since plumbers charge $500 a hour:) But id love to be able to find the fault myself and fix it just soo busy with other things that my poor gtr doesnt get the attention it needs from me. I just figure it shouldnt be too hard for most mechanics who work with gtrs and if ppl recommend some i might check em out. Obvious choice being CRD and GAS. But i like competiton if no one supported the smaller names then how can we expect prices to be low. I might take your advice on the self-help thread tho if i find more time on my hands. Just life these days aint what it used to be seems were working more than were living and with a family, cars are being neglected, mine being one of them. Poor thing doesnt even get driven more than once a fourtnight.

Yeh i know youre point make sense. Butttt if you were CRD would you put the car on the hoist and find the right part and change it in 1 hour and give it back to me for $200 or would you find the fault in 5 mins. Keep the car for 5 weeks. Tell me how long you took and how many parts you had to test and change and why. Charge me $2000 for your efforts. If i were running the show I know what id be charging. Unless you personally know a mechanic don't expect to be treated right. Thats the real reason i asked the question. Someone might have had great experience elsewhere. Then again everyone might say CRD is the best and fairest. Who knows.. but id still like to get some more oppinions before i visit some workshops. Wish i had a manual on the whole Atessa system id try find the prob myself. Dont think one exists if it does it prolly in japanese. Wish they made gtr bit simpler. Although they are great how they are:)

Yeh I mean with ppl like CRD and the like. Youre moreso paying for the name rather than the service quality. Im sure a lot of mechanics out there have great knowledge with GTR's and can probably do as good a job but not as well known or dont advertise. It's not always the case where you pay more and always get better. But i mean if you have money to burn why not. I just dont have too much to burn. For me its just an issue of faultfinding and fixing. Not engine building or anything that technical so anyone with knowledge of Atessa and Hicas will be able to fix my gtr issues.. I mean you could pay a surgeon to cut your hair when a hairdresser will do a much better job for less..

great thanks. i think i remember my borther mentioning that name for some reason. unless it was someone else. I have heared someone in Granville is good with GTR's they have built a fast one recently. Wish i rememberd the name. Thanks tho any recommendations are great. Also does anyone think Buckey Street automotive are good? Anyone taken their cars there.?

Hey guys. I am interested in any suggestions where I can take my r32 gtr for some 4wd diagnosing and powersteering/hicas issues. I just want to find a place that doesn't charge more than a brain surgeon would eg CRD. I mean even $60 a hour is cheap compared to $120/hr i think NASA chages less to build a space shuttle. I know most people will say CRD or Advan know what they are doing but im sure there are smaller mechanics who know as much but are not as well known. Simply i cannot justify $120/h fee for fixing a car. I guess im not the more money than brains kind of person. So any suggestions will be much appreciated.. Also the problem is the 4WD isnt working properly front wont spin computer flashing fault code 1 and 16. Gsensor and right wheel sensor. I rather have a propper mechanic look at it tho.. Also powersteering gets hard after 5 mins driving. Think its to do with Hicas and maybe due to the Hicas lock bar the person who owned it prior to me had fitted. Anyhow thanks for your interest. Im in Sydney so pls Sydney and greated Sydney area only cheers.

No, its those looser Holden/Ford fans who cant hack being eaten alive by a real car the GTR Skyline. So they ban them from there indefinately. Theyre scared a street skyline might do a faster lap time than the current V8 dinoasaurs.

Have a set off a r32. Not sure what condition they are in only that they are in good condition to look at externally. They came with the car when i bought it the guy had changed them to larger ones. As far as im aware they are on good working order. Am in sydney. Not sure what price i should be asking for them tho.. let me know what you think.. I might need a week before i can sell them tho as i might need to put em in for rego pass. Car still unregistered, so its kind of a bad time to sell them right now and then have to buy a set if it cant pass rego with the bigger ones... anyhow think bout it i guess.. cheers

damned too many things coming up at once. Wont have too much time to play with the toy.. so ive decided to visit the tuning shop monday and see what they can find and while im at it slip in the Z32's and tune it to a decent 24-25psi.. So many lil issues hopefuly ill have it all sorted asap and i can visit some dyno comps and cruises and stuff. will post all results from the tuning shop soon as its done.. B1 B2

Hi all again... Fault codes 1 and 16 Right wheel sensor and G sensor. Hopefuly thats the only faults. Could this be causing me harder power steering. Perhaps when the 4WD trys to kick in under acceleration it cannot because of the sensors in turn activating the hicas and making my steering crap. Thats my only theory thus far. Will have to fix faultcodes first then well see how it goes... Also to LMANS maybe your rear sensor is fooked also.. check ur 4wd for faults.. This could be causing the shudder on that wheel. I dont know im just guessing.. being the rear is shouldnt matter i dont think.. but yeh someone might be able to help on here.

Hey if you still have the bonnet and it has no dings .. scratches are fine.. ill pay you cash $400 asap..!!!! im in syd so i hope youre in syd which you are!!?!?!?! pls let me know asap.!!!

all fluids are topped up. im kinda guessing the pump aint working or the clutches are stuffed or maybe wheel sensors...

Ive read through the other thread about the 4wd and steering. it kind of answers the 4wd. But the power steering is still not explained. Is it the possible the fact i have a nismo 300km dash installed thats causing the hicas problems. Is it the lockbar ? I mean it'd a big job checking everything. Im just hoping someone has had a similar problem and has solved it..

Hey everyone, ok just bought the car and has few issues. Before i go to the mechanics and get ripped off I just thought I'd ask everyone here if they have any ideas what the problems might be.. 4WD. It has a 2w/4wd switch in the cabin. It wont go into 4WD when switched over. Front wheels wont spin. Fuse under dash is ok. Relay in engine bay is ok. Shafts are in place. Where could the problem be??? As i not that familiar with the inner workings of the 4WD system... Power steering.. This problem i think is the HICAS but here the problem.. When i start the car and drive for few minutes its fine powersteering is excellent. Then all of a sudden it gets hard to turn the wheel. It as a hicas lock bar put on it and has a aftermarket power fc computer. Remembering back on my r33 gtst when my speedo went the hicas light used to light up and the steering would get hard. Im guessing its the damned hicas doing it here. How do i fix this what can i do to keep the power steering working..Sometimes all the technology they put is just makes life more difficult that easy. While im here with the power fc hand controller i got a maximum knock value of 39 is this too high? Is it an issue as i know its running a bit lean at top revs. Any help much appreciated please excuse my inexperiences.. cheers
