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.

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!

    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
