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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
