Traction Tyres at Rowville.

Been there for a wheel alignment/balance. They know their imports and have set up plenty of suspension for rally/track cars.

I think they also recommended by SydneyKid (who sells the whiteline package) so they know their stuff :laugh:

Cheers

took my car to traction tyres in rowville.

Not really the friendliest of bunch, i guess i was expecting full-on motor sport enthusiasts who couldn't stop talking about it.

Anyways, got a wheel balance and alignment, got rid of the steering wheel shudders/vibrations i was getting at say 90km/hr+, so fixed that up, so on the freeway she's nice and stable.

Um... didn't really notice much else of a difference. Although, the R34 doesn't have a lot of adjustments options from factory. I can't remember exactly, but the front doesn't have say camber adjustment, or something like that. So they adjusted what they could.

Drives straight, fixed shudder on the highway, so yeah, was a good job. And the other thing to mention is that not all places are setup to do 4WS alignments, etc. Obviously these guys are.

Yes, SydneyKid does recomment them. I've been very keen on his suspension kits for a while, but just the $ issue. But yeah, if i get the kit, i'll probably take it to Traction Tyres just because they are closer. But i've spoken to Chris at Centreline a couple of times, and he's super friendly, and was completely cool with giving good, in-depth advice over the phone.

odd..my experience at Traction Tyres was great.

They had a seperate person specialised in brakes/rotors and we discussed the various pads/rotors for my style of driving.

Fixed my vibration at 100km/h and was always happy to answer any of my questions about suspensions/brakes.

Traction Tyres(rowville) ftw :laugh:

ive had good experiences with traction tyres too. theyre down my area which is reason why i go there. if i was on the other side of town id go to centreline for sure. heard nothing but good things about them.

PM me if you wanna hear my costly lesson with Centreline :P

or mine or justin911's

P.S the 'discount' prices in the whiteline SK group buy can be beaten pretty much anywhere with absolutely no contacts ...and beaten well ....and without asking them to match or beat a price....:laugh:

SE, I can think of Strutfit (Lance is an older bloke and knows alot of old school stuff, but he is well priced and will chat your head off)

He is in Dandenong, Ive never had him do anywork, but he has helped out a few of my workmates with alot of stuff. Could be worth a chat to see if he is interested in helping you out.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
