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:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
