A bit of local voicing,experience wise,required here,lads and ladies.

Most will send their turb's away to places like GCG etc for rebuilding etc,but I just need my two stockers checked before selling them off. Call me a nice guy who doesn't want to see the new buyer get anything other than a decent set of twins. It seems like they're in good condition,with minimal or no shaft play,but I'm no pro',so I'd like them checked over locally if poss'-easier to talk face-to-face,drop off + pick up,etc. One well known place I emailed outside of ACT said they wont do a written report-covering their butts,which is fair-but I just want the peace of mind that they're OK before eBaying/For Sale sectioning them off...So,who's used where around here? Pricing and quality of advice? Feel free to PM me with pricing or if you got crap service,rather than flaming the shop on the forums...

COOMA DEISEL in Fyshwick - Top Quality shop and advice, you will be surprised. Just down the road round the corner from Peter at Autotech. Their great. Just picked up my Turbs from them on Friday. Got advice one screwed the other good. ($30 transport fee to GCG :O ). They are in tight with Garrett and Mike at GCG.

The babe on reception is a bonus

If you ebay - add a third very good HKS 2530 (stuffed one thrown in for free).

And I have a feeling that chick knows her turbo's.

nice! :) a chick who is mechanically minded.... thats HOT!

i think the best idea here is to visit Cooma Deisel. i've never been there, so i cant vouch for their work, but i've heard good things about them.... i also know that Dave at Gas Tune in tuggers is experienced with turbo and high powered cars. worth a look i reckon, great bloke as well.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
