Give boostworx a try, they're currently doing all of my wiring, etc - and I'm very impressed with shauns attitude and work ethic. :P Their pricing seems very reasonable compared to some of the so called other "performance workshops" in adelaide.

mate i saw ur car at boostworx when i had mine dynoed few days ago and asked shaun whos it was its a f*kn beauty top work. love it. is it 25 or 25/30 engine?

all in all ive been using shauns business for two years and spent alot of money there... i recommend it... but then again its getting harder and harder to make a booking lol. his prices are v reasonable

Yeah it's a 25/30, he thought it might have been up and running this week, but I told him there was a fair bit of work and escpecially with my cursed car it wouldn't be, and I was right. :dry:

Brendan:

i got a friend who used to work in ASE, he now has his own business which is a mobile workshop (van)

he did my s15's suspension, don't think any workshop can match his price

His name is Ryan and u can contact him @ 0433 149 727

Thanks maxx

I just received my Bilstein shocks and the Whiteline subframe alignment kit (to go with the Whiteline swaybars and castor kit I got a week or so ago), and gave Ryan a call.

His number is now 0401 727 440 and is readily available to install suspension gear for you all.

Im going to help him do it this coming Monday (3rd May) to do it all, and its going to be like around $200, seeing that I live like just across the road from him! - awesome value either which way though!

Let you all know how it goes - Brendan

I have a mate who is a Nissan Tech.... Now based at Grand Nissan, Main Sth Rd, Morphett Vale....

He does weekend work to supplement his income sometimes....

Owns an R32 himself, and is a young guy, so doesn't mind working on performance cars etc...

I could pass his info on, if he is ok with that.... would have to ask him first.

Just got my car back it was the peddle alignment that was causing the clutch to slip woo hoo cheap fix I was worried that i would have to buy a whole new clutch.

Also got a full inspection done (should have done it before buying - stupid me) there wasn't anything too bad except for the radiator hoses need replacing before summer. If i still have the car :D

thought that was your car, i was just getting full price for driveshaft joints and camber kits, Still having idle problems with emanage ultimate.

so that was your car. Radiator hoses are going to be expensive around $1200, so i still need to decide wether i am going to get a different skyline before summer

Mate, save the $ on the hoses (Cant belive that expensive!) and drop in a GTR engine/gearbox combo.

:rolleyes:

Ryan (0401 727 440) is a car-nut, owning a turbo'd work van, and a sweet-as R31 Skyline, He did an awesome job on my Stagea suspension group buy (shocks, swaybars, bushes etc). Awesome value for money.

We went thru my car today here today & installed the goodies, was real cheap really to do it all in the garage at home, he can do all sorts of stuff, pretty much everything to do with the Skylines..... & holds accounts with all the brand name suppliers etc, so can supply and fit basically anything (suspn, turbos, gearboxes, diffs, services etc - anything really), and gets all the BrandName goodies at like wholesale prices.

Looks like I'll go thru him when Im ready for my hiflow turbo; later this year.

If you're after a mechanic, he'll come to you and work out of his van etc, and supply and fit whatever you need done. Top bloke, was an easy day doing all the suspn gear for my Stag; oh boy she'd improved her handling 'somewhat'

Tangles. :ermm:

The Stagea now feels like its a Slot-car.... awesome, top value using Ryan. I totally recommend him to you all, to work on your performance cars, for any aspect whatsoever.

Hes actually coming ack tomorrow to finish off the castor bushes (needs a big press to punch them out) and the subframe alignment, out of his own goodwill. cant get better service or value for money than that, hey! Just over $250 all up for quite a few hrs of work (I threw in lunch and we consumed plenty of drinks LOL, didnt finish until it was pitch black as we talked way too much!)

so if i got the whiteline goods from the sydney fella i could get him to install for cheaper? Still deciding to try and sell as is, i fi do sell then wont have the hassle anymore, or the skyline tho...decisions

Or Get Ryan to supply and install maybe - he's a top lad & I attest to his work (Im a fussy bugga). Look at it this way, he comes to you, therefore no overheads for a business premises, therefore cheaper rates.

Best of luck.

Another shameless plug for Ryan (again - sorry; bit of a hard luck story......)

Hes coming back to finish off my castor bushes and subframe alignment, tommorrow. To do that he has to drop off the arms, take them to his old workplace premises*, punch the bushes out on his 2tonne press, come back and install the stuff, and tighten the suspn stuff he installed on Monday.

At the same time, for cost price, hes dropping my oil and replacing with Mobil1 and a genuine nissan oil filter. He can source EVERYTHING for you at a top rate (no overheads).

Towards the end of this year I'll get him to supply larger Sard or Nismo injectors for an unbeatable price, and get him to take out and have the turbo hiflowed at either GCG or ATS, then reinstalled (all at home, yay!), again for an unbeatable price.

*hard luck story - big rains 6 weeks ago flooded his rented workshop, which in turn put asbestos dust over everything, and the Govt came in and closed the shop down, due to the landlord not complying with the asbestos regulations (from what I understand of the story).

Try him out lads, and all the best to you all - Brendan

That's BS, it's a piss easy job, and their's no way the parts cost that much. You can get a guchi Sard hard rad piping kit for half that amount.

I agree - Im totally shocked that that price came from GWW......... Im now thinking they may have charged me too much for dyno time.

GWW does some really good work don't get me wrong........BUT they charge for it too $600 was my quote to re map my FC and it only took a short drive down to see Shaun at Boostworx and he said $440 MAX to re map my whole FC..........and even then it only cost me like $375 thru him. you do the math!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
