Happy New Year.

I'm trying to avoid taking the car across Sydney and was wondering if anyone had used a transmission place in Western Sydney? All the names I can think of are tuning places.

Hopefully the solution is simply gearbox out, replace stuffed bit, gearbox in - but I'd prefer to use someone who knows their stuff just in case it's more complicated than I think it'll be.

Any info/advice would be appreciated! :P Thanks guys.

Give Kevin a call at Specialised Brake & Clutch (GavSport) on Glossop Road, St Marys (next to the hire place near the servo). He's very cluey with the Skylines and if his workshop can't fix it for you he'll put you onto someone reputable in the area.

He's done group buys in the past for SAU (clutches and brake gear) so mention you are from Skylines Australia.

GavSport: 0296730988

Cheers Lanfoh, I might give Pauls a call as well and see if he is more interested in the work.

Ben dude, the closest thing to a 1/4 mile ET is the WSID carpark on the SAU drag day :) I was just wondering if you circuit times had been updated and thought the 14.009 sounded more like a GTSt rather than a GTR time.

Hey what time does WSID kickoff? I've never actually made it out there (only moved here in Nov). If you're just observing, what's a good time to get there? They run ever second Wednesday, right?

Yup as NXTIME stated.

I've only missed 2 wed nite offstreet drags since the venue opened, 1 was coz it was like 40c and the other I was very sick. I've spectated at every other wed nite and raced on about 6 nites over the past 2yrs.

I usually get there at about 6:30pm and leave straight after the burnouts have finished (9:30pm).

Cool, thanks very much guys.

Hey Charlie for your GTStt theme, I have a GTSt horn button if you're keen. GTR one pops right out, swapover will take 2 seconds. Let me know. I'm not after cash, it's just sitting in my garage, may as well have someone get some use out of it :nyaanyaa: I can bring it to the next SAU Drag Day if you like.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
