Well as some of you know I had problems with my car losing power then kicking back in all of a sudden. First we thought electrical, but the mechanis said no, then the fuel filter...but apparently not.

Complete auto here in Whyalla is where i took it. They serviced my car, changed alot of piping and some other random junk. Costing around 700. They rekon they fixed the problem with what they did.......but they didnt. Now the rekon it could be the knock sensors i think they said, anyways they said theres two of them in my car. And they want to charge 1grand EACH!!! Lucky for me it was dad who has been paying everything.

So dad's taking it to adelaide this weekend. Basically I wanna know if my Mechanic here is ripping me off. Also what are some respected workshops in Adelaide that might be able to check the sensors on the weekend for me?

Thanx in advance.

I take my car to Southern Hi Tech Dyno. Speak to John Keen, he is the best and wont stuff you around.

His number is 08 8277 4400

[scandyflick]

one word; boostworx.

[Whyallapunk]

Isn't boostworx heaps hard to get into though? As in their booked out for weeks in advance.

[/2on]

yeah def go to boost work, have you tried using a different afm on your car i had a problem that was exactly like yours and it was the afm causing the issue

[heslo]

Yep, Boostworx! Shaun will sort it out no worries and won't rip you off shitless which is what sounds like your guy has done

[Bl4cK32]

Any workshop will struggle to fit u in if u ring up now for the weekend. If u ring shaun @ boostworx now im sure he could take a quick look, or at least tell u what may be wrong.

Knock sensors wont be causing the problem u are having.

Boostworx is great but you could try John at Rhemac motors in Gawler, he's had a lot of experience and charges ok. Plus you don't have to wait months to get in.

I'd also consider going somewhere like Tilbrooks for weird skyline related issues cos they see heaps of skylines only problem is they will hit you in the pocket pretty hard (my experience).

Personally I'd go to John, he knows his stuff

John keen can only tell what his dyno tells him. I have taken countless cars to him and he has guessed off his dynomax only to be corrected by logic in the end by someone that understands. He is good at making you believe he knows when he dosent

If you can't get Boostworx to check it out, try Morpowa.

[Deluxe]

Boostworx FTW! Do as Black said, Call him and im sure he will have a quick geez for you on Saturday, and prob give you some advice!

[ISC-Performance]

Call Boostworx I wouldnt take my cars anywhere else, Top work and they dont over charge like most performance workshops do!!

Another vote for boostworks from me but do as some one else suggested change the AFM i have had this exact problem before it turned out to be the airflow meter

my expensive experience with my old 33gtr

never again!

yep, mates 180 had a fuel pump wiring issue, took them 2 weeks and 1 k to figure it out

[sky30]

Whyallapunk:- If you got charged 700 and they said they fixed the problem, but its not fixed, take it back and make them fix it, or get a refund.... Dont let them rip you off.

[Whyallapunk]

Don't worry, I have already got refunded.

Now they say they meant the camshaft sensors and not knock sensors. SO would this maybe be the problem?

[Bl4cK32]

There are no camshaft "sensors" Take your car elsewhere and RUN

unless the mean the cas, which wouldnt have anything to do with the issue you are having...
