Set boost, tuning, kw readings, getting the best out the mod's, and someone who can tune 'Unichip' and look after a car without damaging it (previous place, had bad experience don't want to mention on the forum, don't know if I can trust that place again).

So I'm pretty much looking for a different place to get my car tuned.

I get my car serviced at Skyline Performance. Joe is the guy who owns the place.

So far so good. He's done a few things for me at no charge like fixing my front bar (it had droped on one side and he made new brackets). All in all no complaints. He was by far the cheapest place I found to get my cam belt changed as well.

I haven't had any mods done there yet but his garage is always full of some pretty nice Skylines (and a couple of GTi-Rs & 200SXs etc.).

Depending on when you go I might be keen to do the same.

I haven't had mine looked over since I had it (2 years ago !!), and I wouldn't mind getting the timing, boost etc tuned/looked at, and look for boost leaks.

Damn - we could even make it a dyno day maybe :D

SilverSlyder - I'll drop you a PM about the previous place you've been to.

Cheers

CanberraR33: I'm getting it done at Skyline Performance.

Do all you guys have Unichips too? Shame Autotech doesn't have a 4wd dyno, they had to road tune my car last year. Don't really like the idea of someone else driving my car on 1.4 bar around highways.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
