Hi All,

To cut a long story short, my car has decided to continuously blow the same fuse on multiple occassions of late ( SEE HERE for a more detailed explanation), so I think I need to pay a auto-electrician a visit to try and rectify the problem.

Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy auto-electrician, preferably in the Parramatta or Hills areas?

(I've done a quick search, but couldn't really find many recommendations).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :rofl:

the closest one to parramatta that i know of is Annandale Automotive (aka grey imports). Good auto-electrician. 9519 5150, albion st annandale (just off paramatta road near stanmore maccas). tell Nathan I sent you down. wont do anything for you, but it'll make me look like a good friend for plugging his business! lol.

Whoever you go with make sure you know what they are doing. After my car was broken into and needed some work went to one guy who was clueless and did half assed work. Its not like skylines are hugely diff from normal cars but some car elecs are clueless. Wasted 700 at the first guy second guy cost me 800 but did an awesome job and went through the car completely and fixed up a lot of stuff.

Hes out Penrith way if you want his details let me know. I can also tell you who to stay away from out this way.

Thanks for the recommendations - much appreciated.

Richard,

Would you know if Grey Imports are open on Saturday's (unfortunately I don't have an easy way of getting back to work if I drop the car to him during the week). I've only heard good stuff about Nathan, just didn't realise he did auto electrical work as well - so I'd be keen to get him to have a look at it if possible.

Raz0r$harP,

I know exactly what you mean, I've also been screwed around previously which is the main reason why I'm looking for reputable recommendations. If you don't mind, could you please PM me the details of the auto electrician you used? If I can't get to Grey Imports, I should be able to organise to get the car to Penrith as my brother works out that way.

Cheers,

Brenden

nathan is open probably 3 out of 4 saturdays till midday. best to give him a ring and try and figure out a good time to drop off the car. and yes he also does pretty much all auto-electrical work.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
