i bought my car from autoterminal, although the guys from svi tried to tell me that they don't have a license to sell to the public.

Westpoint Nissan Indooroopilly have no idea what they are talking about

i used to get my car serviced there until they charged me for an air filter when i already have a washable pod filter, they also forgot to change the oil and even charged me for it.

bought my car from advanced auto imports in Albion (sandgate road, just down from the breakfast ck hotel.

get it serviced at Chapman & Chapman in Deshon St Woolloongabba. They aren't cheap, but they are pretty good as far as I can tell. They've got a great track record of preparing and racing Targa series 6 RX-7's (3 class wins in 3 yrs aint too shabby)

As far as parts go, I get some of the aftermarket performance stuff off the web (various ppl) some stuff through Chapman & chapman, and the very few dealings I have had with Westpoint Nissan at Indooroopilly has been disappointing to say the least. It has been my experience that these guys are complete w.a.n.k.e.r.s. when it comes to customer service:

Last time I went there, they told me they don't do parts from there anymore, and that I would have to go to Darra parts depot to collect them. I asked politely where exactly that was, and was told to "look it up" and they started serving the next customer.

Dealer = "Stealer" IMHO.

Well well well..

Got my car from streetmachines (DONT GO THERE (this has two meanings))

And get it serviced by Gavin Woods at Auto Tech down the coast. Top bloke.. Top company. The dealings with them that we've had have been excellent. Nothing what so ever to complain about. Prices are excellent and their work and customer services is brilliant.

*WE* got it all sorted out.. $1000 later some problems are still there. HICAS light comes on (the steering sensor needs to be changed which will cost about $370)

They didn't help us one bit. Still haven't heard back from them. Still don't have our safety certificate!

I was looking at a 32 from Streetmachines, but something wasn't quite right...I went up the street and picked up another from AJM instead.:)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
