Hi Guys,

Just trying to get some background on Nismo in Sunshine on McIntyre Road.

Im getting my car checked out and have it booked in tomorrow because my car is stalling on me

and seems to be once its heated up, if i short shift and not let the air filter suck in air it doesnt do it, once

i give it a tad it plays up so i thought ill take it there as i got my fmic and 2nd hand rb20det from them, they seemed pretty good.

Has anyone gone there or know if there reliable, im mr paranoid about my car due to what ive done to it, mods and things like that.

Any feedback would be appreciated, ive read the forums about the poor bloke whos car was stolen and read there actualli called nismA but they give stickers after servicing which says nismo and answer as nismo and so forth, whats the deal there? im getting paranoid about taking it there now.

Thanks GUys, stay safe! :D

If you don't feel confident about leaving your car there, simple solution.. don't take it there.

There's plenty of other workshops that can have a look at that if you can't find an answer on the forum.. and believe me 'stalling' has been covered heaps of times and it's in the workshop manual as well. Just depends on the symptoms but it's usually 1 of about 5 things off the top of my head.

kaz thats what i was thinkn too but im trying to find a good mechanic who i can constantly take my car to to get modded and fixed when it needs fixing.

chasers workshop ive heard good things about and i know ppl who know ppl der and have recommended it.

are you aware of some good places? all i want to do is take it sumwhere, they tell me the problem and ill fix it myself, because no point being charged hundreds in getting them to do it when i can do it myself ya gets?

its just that story about the guy who had his car stolen has been on my mind heaps.

David, just sent you a PM, I too live in Delahey :D

Look at their stickers, the "o" is a turbo, that is used to disguise the "a". For copywrite purposes, they have to use Nisma.

i bloody knew it, after reading the story i looked and thought hang on they could get away with saying thats an "A" funny enough the whitepages is Nismo, they answer Nismo.

When i first went there this guy called Fred who i presume owns it said he worked in Japan for Nismo for 10 years and is affiliated with them, he seemed really really nice, i had no issues with them.

But ive never heard anyone recommend them and now that i no this nismA story i dont trust em.

Fred "says" a lot of things.

the thing is i had no issues with them, its just im the type of guy who hears stories and gets paranoid as hell as im sure anyone who takes care of their car would.

what do you know of them sky031? any problems? cuz he seemed like a really nice dood.

was helpful and shietz but maybe dats cuz he knew id be doing lots of mods.

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
