Firstly, welcome and congrats on a great new ride! We're a really friendly bunch down here so I'm sure you'll have no trouble fitting in.

I'll let the other guys handle the other questions, but I assure you, the plice treat us better here than anywhere else in Australia.

Just last month we had a night meet and a couple of cops came down, lit up a smoke next to us and chatted for about 15 minutes asking us how we were and commenting on how nice some of the cars were and then wished us well and headed off.

Now there were some cars there that could have been defected and put away for life.....and they knew that, but they were just making sure we were looking after ourselves and not breaking the law.

The vehicle inspectors here are dicks, not the guys at the registry, they are also pretty fair, but it's the inspectors that go out and find cars to defect here that are tools, but even they don't go out of their way to make things hard for us.

In conclusion, Canberra cops, in general, are great!

For your first question I would reccomend the guys at Integra Automotive. Heaps of experience with Skylines, and I would be confident in saying they have the best Power FC/Autronic/Motec/Microtech tuner in Canberra working there (Ed). They are out in Queanbeyan, give them a call on 62329329 and go out and have a talk to them and tell them what you are after.

Trojan motorsport in Mitchell is a brilliant workshop that specialise in Skyline performance. Just one trip down to the garage and you'll see what i mean.

They are contactable on 6242 6277. Ask for John. And if you drop in tell them Steve (silver 33) sent you! It probably wont get you a discount but i'll be able to talk myself up next time I see the boys :miner: lol...

I have heard he is good with SAFC's but not sure about powerfc's. I guess it depends on if you are willing to give him a go if not i suggest you take it to Ed @ integra as he seems to have worked the most with powerfc's

does anyone go to autotech out in fyshwick to get their power fc tuned?

i was there today to get my car dyno tested (just to see power) but dunno how they are with tuning the fc..

Cheers,

-JD

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
