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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
