Hi all

Just after some opinions on decent places to get a wheel alignment..

Would do myself, but my mates machine doesnt fit around my rear wheels as they are in the guards..

So.. where can i go..

tried pedders Phillip... cant get on hoist, because my car is too low, and the front bar will hit.

Went to Inline... and im guessin they do read these forums. but.. i was delt with in a rude manner... and i dont buy that.

Capital steering did my suspesnsion to start with and it had been back a few times to be fixed..

So.. im not tryin to diss anyone, but is there anywhere that do a good job, and can get my car onto the hoist?

Thanx guys.

Inline were rude to you? That's interesting.

Did you speak to Chris?

I think that Discount Tyres in Belco or Gunghalin (Which ever one(s) that Marc with the Stagea works at) was pretty well liked by the people on here. I wouldn't know as my car's always been to Inline.

I couldn't imagine Chris being rude to anyone, he was always very professional when I dealt with him.

Also, Marc doesn't work there anymore just in case anyone gets confused.

Chris, Inline, rude? Strange, although I will say it is run a bit differently to most workshops, but rude?

Im interested to know who you spoke to, cos Chris wouldnt be rude. He has done all of my suspension work and when it comes to wheel alignments, there is no way I would go anywhere else, hes a shit stirrer though.

But I guss not everyone can be happy. And im definately not having a go at you.

im not havin a pick at inline..

I walked in just to ask prices and times that wheel alignment can be done...

wasnt bein a dickhead.. just a casual person.. told him everyone here recommends him..

And just the way i was delt with, really didnt go well with me.

he never said it was chris when i last went there was more than one guy working there so maybe he just got a guy in a bad mood ??? either way similar to others i have found chris himself a cool person to deal with but if they gave that sort of service to me i personally wouldnt go back either.... luckily that has not happened :wave:

most places should be able to do a wheel alignment no dramas as you mentioned it's just a matter of if your car clears the hoists etc.

ahh ok. The only other person that works there is Carol, but she doesnt know cars at all. If you went there at the start of the year, I think he had someone working there, but im not sure.

Either way, you wouldnt be dissapointed with the outcome.

PS, they dont read the forums.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
