Hello people, I’m a forum newbie and also a fresh skyline owner.

I have a few problems that I need to get fixed with my steering that I don’t trust doing myself, so I’m after a good mechanic? (I don’t have all the money in the world though willing to pay good if the quality is there)

I live on Brisbane Southside and own a 1988 Nissan Skyline R31 GXE, I’ve noticed that the steering is a little heavy along with some actionable pull to the left or right while driving straight. I suspect there is a some play in the joints around the wheel and also hear a clunk (Some where around the lower mounting of the front left shock) when hitting speed bumps.

Any Suggestions or recommendations with be muchly appreciated!?

My Dad is a mechanic with about 30 years experience, and has a home-based workshop, and he's a wheels/tyres/suspension expert. He did heaps of work on my R33 so isn't afraid of newer stuff either, and is about as honest/ethical as you're likely to find :whoops:

Mention Skylines Australia and that Marc sent you :)

Related note: Skylines Australia Qld has sponsors including workshops, a tyre store, brake specialists etc, and conducts events that will allow you to enjoy your car to its potential. Details in the Queensland subforum on these boards :(

We are not allowed to say bad things about workshops for fear of banning so I won't say this.....but whatever you do, don't take your car to Charlies! There you go, you've been warned.

Marc's dad sounds like the way to go. Marc is an honest bloke so I would assume his dad is twice as honest at least.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
