I talked to a guy from Meng in the main street, he was very helpful and i brought up wheel allignments and he replied it can be done in about 2-3 days. Pedders in north mackay have a huge wait, 1 week +

and from memory i think an allignment is about $75 from Meng.

Ok so i need to replace the bolt in my front left, rear castor bar (behind the disk brakes) and it's basically impossible to do it from home as the original bolt is extremely tight and there isn't enough room to get a good go at it from being jacked up.

I need some advice as to who to go to to get this done,

Nissan have said "we don't have the equipment" the chick at the counter must have been drunk.

Pedders want $140 P/H and can't do it until next week sometime, although it should be roughly an hours work i still don't want to pay that much. I haven't tried anywhere else yet but i wanted to know if anyone has had this done before and could recommend a place or an individual to do it.

thanks

Just think about this. If someone does a job well, everyone wants to go there, if someone else doesnt, then there not going to have a huge line-up of customers

Personally I'd rather take it to neither. Would like if I knew someone who worked at a mechanics shop with the alignment tools to do it. But I dont know of anyone.

Not trying to detur you from Meng's, but just saying that something that seems like a good thing can turn out to be a bad thing

I went to pedders last time, and it seems to have helped my tyre wear so cant complain to much. However I dont think they took any camber out of the rear.

So I haven't spammed the thread with photos for a while so I thought now would be a good time. Spent some time today straightening out the diffuser after slamming it on the gutter at south Mackay KFC the other day (or at least I think thats where I bent it up)

Gave the car a wash and had a play with the camera for the first time in a little bit.

I really like taking photos with alot of depth. bit like this where only one section of the photo is completely in focus

Cheers. Its a bit messy at the moment but its come along way, seen as it looked like this about 3 months into owning it:

Anyway. Did a quick before/after photo of what can easily be done with 5 minutes in photoshop. Removed stone chips from my front bar and did some processing. Yes yes I'm bored on my days off........

Impressive man, in 3 months that's a really big difference. Also did you go through four ways at like 6am, I'm almost 100% sure it was your car that i heard when i first woke up haha.

haha no 3 months into owning it. so about 5 years ago...

And i was out at about 6:30 but not through four ways

Hey guys finally got another car to flog/build. Picked up a early model 180SX off of Rob in Townsville. Goes alright but you know me guys this thing will begin its transformation ASAP, i will be ordering a ship load of parts when i get home next week. Can't wait to hit the prossy track and hang the arse out will be freaking awesome.

Here's some pics:

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
