Hey guys,

I am interested in purchasing a R33. . Just wondering if anyone knows of a mechanic or a place where I would be able to take it for them to do a full check on it for me (maybe compression and leak down test as well).

OR

If there are MOBILE turbo specialists.

Around the bankstown area only please and ONLY THOSE WHO MOSTLY DEAL WITH SKYLINES

Thanks

I don't know of any mechanics around that area.. but i know of an awesome car that's just come up for sale... PM Marsss off the forums, his car is immaculate!!!! Before you commit to this 33, take a look at his!

just ring nrma mate, a cars a car.

if you want to know some common things to look out for, i think there is a sticky called "what to look out for when buying a skyline" or similar in the tutorial/faq section

im from bankstown and there really isnt anyone around who specialises in skylines. you might want to go to gcg and see if they have a decent mechanic in there (eldrigde rd) and there is No Limit Spares on Cottam ave off canterbury rd. (i cant vouch for those guys, ive never dealt with them) thats all i can think of in bankstown. CRD are on silverwater rd, only 15mins away. advan are also good with skylines, also on silverwater rd.

nrma do good inspections so fork out the $150 or whatever it is and you'll get a rating. good thing about that is if something seriously stuffs up on the car after you've bought it and it is not mentioned in the nrma inspection then i think you can make the nrma liable (dont quote me, im going off what i hear).

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
