The mag shop in Osborne Park.

Can anyone tell me if they have closed down?

Been there 3 times now during business hours and they were shut.

Turned up at 4 today and there is a sign to say will be open at 10.30am tomorrow but don't know how long that sign has been there.

have you tried ringing them? they should probably give you a straight answer.

the site also says "We are currently in the process of opening our brand new store in Osbourne Park", perhaps they are only open for a few hours so they can set everything up?

I didn't think they were open on a Saturday; they weren't on the couple of Saturdays that my friend and I went to have a look. This was a few months ago however. I pass them on a regular basis and didn't get the impression that they were closing.

took 3wks to get my wheels, which initially was sposed to only take 4 days. never got any calls to say there was a delay, had to call them EVERY TIME.

got given wrong lock nuts, now i need 4 new studs.

customer service, they have none.....

u get what u pay for i guess, i am very happy with the wheels but thought that dealing with a local company would have been easier than dealing with over east, now i regret it....

Just got my tyres from a bloke called Javed at WestState Autobarn in East Perth, just next door to the Golf box at the East end of the tunnel.

I can't vouch for dealing with him extensively as he just put 2 tyres on some rims for me, but he had a Sh*tload of rims floating around there. Big ones too. Can anyone say 19"x13"?!?

Could be worth a look...

Chris,

Buy direct from japan. I got my works wheels recently through Perfect Run, took about 10 days door to door and saved a heap of cash... The guys there are great, have bought a lot of stuff and never had a problem.

They don't list rims on their website, but tell them what you want and they get it....

Highly recommend them...

Even with customs duty, gst and inspection fees it was still over $600 cheaper than any local shop could supply them for...

cheers

Brett

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
