Sau Vic - Help Don1 Find The Right Workshop


Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon Skylines Australia,

My 1990 R32 GT-R has been getting a full engine rebuild, forged pistons and N1s at RE Customs for some time now and I have been totally happy with their service and results, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

The problem is now my engine is all fixed up I want to have a good hard look at the interior and exterior - maybe get a paint job, new boot, some new seats, a new wheel etc. I am also looking to get a good alarm system installed.

RE Customs only do engine work so I am looking for advice about what might be a few good workshops to look into. I looked through the workshops thread but couldn't really find much. If I can take my car to one shop and get all of the interior/exterior and alarm taken care of then that would be great - but any info on any workshops that do any of this is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can point me in the right direction.

Dude... 3 posts in 20mins lol.

Spray work - Micolour in Cheltenham have been doing excellent work.

9555 8011/0713 815 810

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

Wheels. I dont think you can go past Rampant (Aaron).

www.rampant.net.au

There are a few places to get you started, good luck with it all

DT Panels for any bodywork. They are in Chingvale across the road from the station

Agreed! :) Vu does awesome work!!! Just about to get another of my cars painted by him.

PM: evilsub on here, thats him!

For car alarm installation.

Recommended by Chris Rogers (check out audio section if you dont know him)

Spent about 6 hours installing my alarm into the car. Removing whole dash etc etc

Know's what he is doing :)

Give em a call

dont mean to hijack and start up another thread but on the same note, anyone know of a good insurance pannel workshop in/near springy? Doesnt have to specialise in imports like DT Pannels. The family corolla got can-opened by a 4x4 reversing out and not looking.

thanks.

edit...never mind its all been sorted. :)

Thanks heaps for the advice!!! I'll give most of them a call and see what they can do. Looks like it might be smartest to take it different places for the exterior, interior and alarm respectively.

Heres what I got....

Exterior/Spray Shops

DT Panels

Micolour

Alarms/Audio

Interior

???????????

Try Con or Andrew at C&A Auto Fashion in Blackburn.

Do those guys do interiors? Or just exterior?

Just take out your interior. its cool.

Do you mean I should rip out my entire interior and put a whole new dash in? How much is that gonna cost me?? Like millions, right?

I'm happy to do that, but pretty clueless on how to "shop around". Where would I look to find a bunch of places that sell/install seats and dashes etc?

Thanks again guys!!

Also Alarms.

If you become a member of SAU-Vic, it will give you access to heavily discounted Alarm installation by a friend of mine who is a supporter of the club :)

It offsets the cost of membership easily, so there are MANY bonuses just there.

They can probably do both. Ask them.

Thanks mate I will. Theyre in the yellow pages? Or do you have a number?

Sweet I'll check it out. Does he also do audio/turbo timer installs? Cause I'd probably get them done at once.

Last time: Is there anything more anyone can tell me about how I can track down a bunch of people that do interior work on cars? Like where I should look. I got no friggin clue.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
