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.

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

my 2c

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

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

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
