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.

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.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
