Hi guys,

I was wondering where in brisbane prefer south side of brissy I can take my r32 gtst to get a few small issues and installs done without being screwed over with high $$ prices or dodgy work.

Im currently in the process of sorting out my plan of mods for my R32 GTST...

Its pretty stock except for 3" hiflow cat and bee R exhaust (standard dump and engine pipe, standard boost, bov and sidemount intercooler and ecu)

Its currently running like crap (popping, backfiring after acceleration, but not missing and lacking power) so i need someone to take a looksie at it and sort out what the hell is going wrong.

It also needs a new clutch,a basic HD clutch or something to handle 200 -220rwkw's to be installed.

Once the car has a good basic setup to start with..

I just dont want to be treated badly or laughed at because my car isnt a big HP car with $$$ spent on it..

I've budgeted around $1500 for the clutch supply & install and diagnosing the problem, do you think thats a realistic figure? I'm thinking possibly the fuel pump is dying? i dont really know alot about how to diagnose issues..

So Thanks for any info offered

Cheers BOOSTA (Pete) :(

don't know any body in qld as i live in vic. altho i work for repco service and thier pretty good. my recermondation would to be to go and see them for your troubles and they should be able to do all the mod work you require. stnaded rate is $99h/r inc GST. (thats what it is in vic, should be the same)

one of our new merchanics used to work on the gold cost for repco and he's pretty decent.

good luck with the car man.

I work at ABS springwood during the day and we are doing the exedy HD kits supplied and fitted including flywheel machine for $720. We used to do them for $700 but the price went up because we were buying so many...go figure.

Our number is (07)3808 3533

As for fuel pump dying, do a fuel flow and pressure test. This will tell you if your pump is healthy or not. There are many things that can cause the issues you are experiencing so I would assume it will not be a simple matter to diagnose.

Man you should come up to Brissy, standard hourly rate will only set you back around $77/hr. Some workshops charge up to $80-$90 but this is only a select few around the place.

Hey guys

Thanks for the replies regarding the issues I have, I'll be stopping into ABS at springwood probably on the 29th to get the clutch done and then maybe try and get dan to have a look at it sometime as I really have heard great things about his work....

I have no idea how to do a fuel flow/pressure test on the pump? Im not very mechanically minded (plus lack of tools doesnt help)....

Thanks Guys

hey mate,

i use mercury motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) they provide good quality work and good customer service. i wouldn't say the cheapest prices.. about $77 and hour, but they take their time and do it properly

plus, they can re-tune the stock r32 ecu now! so you're laughing...

they are in newmarket, about 5mins north of the city :)

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
