Was thinking last night with all the money we spend on our cars it would be really good if we could help each other out financially.

Now personally i'm a fully trade qualified boilermaker/Welder and could probably help some of you guys out with welding up smallish jobs (don't necessarily have to be to do with your car)

So if you work with computer gear and can get that cheap or maybe a tyre place cause we all need tyres, whatever you think you can possibly help someone else out with please post it in this thread and hopefully we can get this thread stickied if everyone thinks its a good idea!

EDITED BY CUBES:

This is an awesome idea.

Keep it on topic and no requests as requests are pointless. Simply state what you can do for others. :wave:

At the request of some forum members I have gone through this thread with the edit brush - trimming the chat and so forth. Please keep any questions/requests to PM

I'm a website developer + graphic designer, can do a good price on that sort of thing. :dry:

Also can provide almost any jaycar product very cheaply (and even cheaper for group buys).

Can't really help anyone out with my day job however I am also able to help out with specialist print jobs.

My printer allows me to print in the usual black, cyan, magenta and yellow. As well as silver and white and soon will buy some cartridges to allow me to print in Gold, and chrome colours.

So if you need anything printed (small quantities) I will do it for a couple of dollars (as the ink is expensive)

I am an assistant manager in a hardware store. Can also look after fellow skyliner's with maybe 10% discount on general hardeware. Also trade quantities of timber for pergola's or deck's etc. :thumbsup:

I’m a full time software engineer, so basically anything you want done to a PC I can do it...even turn it onto a beer fridge! Something like this: beer PC :P

I don’t know how much I can help out in general but I MIGHT be able to score cheap hosting, and of course anything to do with software you want done/fixed/made..., I’m your man.

Also good quality two way paging car alarm systems fully installed I can help you out, PM me!!

Johnn, are you any good with or know someone who is profficient in MS Access?

I have a little relational database thats got me stumped. I thought my skills were OK, but this one got a bit difficult.

PS I teach at the Womens and Childrens Hospital, and look after the network for the school. If anyone needs some IT advice I am happy to help where I can. I also have some wholesale access to parts and systems through Protech. (can save you a few dollars on an upgrade or system)

I'm an electronics technican myself too, but I also used to do work that specialised in EFI & Ignition systems for 2 years as well as other stuff. I tested & fixed literally hundreds of ignition systems & engine computers injectors etc.

I don't have all the equipment to do all the work myself & admittedly most of this work was done off of the car, but I do have a good handle on the spanner work, do all my own servicing & have fixed friends cars on several occasions. My car hasn't seen a service centre since I bought it a year & a half ago.

I can do a lot of diagnosis work which I could do at a fraction of the cost that an Auto Electrican would charge & can probably sorce some parts at a decent price too. Auto electricans & mechanics would come to us, buy something or get something fixed & put their cut on before selling it to the customer & half the time we figured out the problem for them over the phone!!!

Advice on here I'll do for zip provided it doesn't get too complex :laugh:

    • What a wonderful journey to read. Loved the photography. Literally found this an hour ago and couldn't stop reading, plus checking out a couple of the links. Was interesting as you had a few mods very similar to my sons Gtt, including the sheetmetal homemade V-Spec II rear diffuser, can't be too many of them around the world. Only to find it sold about three weeks ago. Well at least I won't have to keep re-visiting for updates. Anyway, well done on not just the car but the well written story and descriptions, and of course the pics. Good luck on your next one. Rob
    • Forgot to update. I ended up removing it and found out that it's dead. The car seems to run better than it did, although I haven't driven it hard yet. Literally just a flow restriction.
    • Sounds like the rack seals blew.
    • ^ This is all good advice. I can imagine that there's some passive components in the HVAC controller that run that PWM output that could die, or suffer bad solder joints. It can be worth opening it up, taking a schmooze around looking for swollen electro caps, evidence of liquid escape anywhere, tracks that have been hot, lifted, cracked, etc. A DMM might not be suitable for seeing if the PWM output is pulsing. Might be too fast and too low voltage for a DMM to keep up. An analogue voltmeter might give a better hope. I use a handheld oscilloscope (<$100 from Aliexpress if you want something cheap). A DMM might see the voltage across the motor flicker. Otherwise, as above. If you can successfully see PWM action, then the control side should be good. If you can't see it with what you have, you might need to step up the instrumentation used, as above. Beyond that, and dbm7's advice on testing the motor directly, you're down to looking for broken wires, corroded connector pins, etc.
    • So Thanks for the comments etc. To follow up on this, we went down the path of fitting a divider down the middle of the external pipe that was added to the exhaust manifold and the divider went from very close to the external wastegate all the way up to the "V" part where the pipes from each side of the manifold joined. After this modification it was finally in a position to do the dyno-tune with some degree of success. Top end power was down about 10kw (250rwkw down to 240rwkw) I believe from previous but it seems to be more responsive lower down and at least it is now driveable and fun and back on the road to be enjoyed. Apparently the timing couldn't be run the same as it was running into knock and boost was down about 1psi. For all we know this could have been from the fuel being a bit older, or perhaps some slight complication from the new head gasket as we didn't have compression figures from before that mod to compare. I'm no mechanic and this is second hand info but I just wanted to follow-up to those that commented or read the original post with interest. After so many months of stuffing around this is a big win. The interesting part was most of the info around this was gained from information around Barra motors and not GTR as the manifold setup on the Barra with single turbo was more similar.  Thanks for those that helped with info.
