Look, if your paranoid.

Dont take the car there. Its that simple mate.

There are plenty of other workshops that people can reccomend (and they have). So its either a case of get in your car and drive 30-40mins for peace of mind.

Or dont drive 30-40mins and stress out about it all.

Its quite simple, and the call is yours and yours alone

thanks to all who replied and helped, much appreciated.

go to DrDrift. One of the best mechanics around for skylines and silvias. I've been going there for 3years :P

call him: 0425 818 755.

Unit 5 / 9 Alick Rd

Brooklyn, Victoria

open up the afm and check the solder joins. for some reason just about every soldering join in the cars are dry solders. u might just have a loose connection in there somewhere. u will need to cut the black silicone off to open it and dont forget to use black silicone to put it back together

i think ive seen a how to in the diy section on fixing afms.

GOOD LUCK

Dr. Drift tuned a mates car by ear. he kinda like spun the bottom end. this is what he told me. i dunno what dr. drift is like

Dave if you want to try the soldiering idea, i'm willing to help. Do you have a garage and some basic tools?

hey al, yeah sweet, i got the needed tools and the garage to play around in.

no harm in checking it i mean ill probably end up getting a new afm anyway, if spraying it with elec

cleaner never fixed the problem previously i wouldnt be set that its the afm.

al, hows early saturday or sunday sound?

Not too good :D

Was think, during the week, but i forgot not everyone is bludging and pulling off a sicky this week :no:

Tuned by 'ear'... lol that's funny... I have my own dyno and detonation headphones, and usually have Nick listening under the bonnet for knock as well.. Please keep your bs off the forums.

Saliba - We're here most nights and weekends, feel free to pop round and introduce yourself, that way you can have a look at the workshop and see if you feel comfortable leaving your car here. Trusting your mechanic is a big part of business these days, especially with imports and so many 'so called' professionals. Just around the corner from you too. I've spoken to a few people about EAS and haven't heard a bad word said about them, and Al has always been happy, should feel comfortable with them.

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.

He's a nice guy, just some of the things he says need to be taken with a grain of salt.

yeh, fred says a lot of shite....

that "GTSR" he has is shite too....

For those who are unfamiliar with the "GTS-R" it's actually a GTS2 which has been destroyed beyond recognition.

mine was the afm...

but yeh, fred says a lot of shite....

that "GTSR" he has is shite too....

You can resolder AFMs yourself, I had exact same problem. Bought second hand one of here, then checked inside the old AFM and the solder came right off cos the pod wasnt secure bumping the AFM.

yeh im going to open up the afm and see what santa has left me heh

hehe business hours....he's open/there like 24/7....literally...

Sam aka Dr Drift - 0425 818 755

Don't go to Nisma.

They overcharge and their work is "average" as well.

You don't need to worry about your car going missing lol, I'd be more worried about the cost!

As a general statement, expect to pay for good work. Its that simple.

Also, do yourself a favour and read the forum guidelines, specifically the part relating to business slander.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
