Ive been doing quite a few home services over the years for people looking for a cheaper yet professional alternative then taking it to a workshop. I'm a mechanic and gas fitter by day, have several Skylines of my own and like to help out others with them. Have recently done several Stagea 100K services also. I'm not operating a business nor am i interested in starting one lol, However i am offering to help out people who need some work done during the weekends. It will be cheaper then a workshop but i dont work for free lol.

PM me if your interested.

Simon has been doing all the work on my car for the past 6 months. before that it was Boostworx..

Have had same great results with both mechanics..

Kinda tells you the quality of simons work hey :domokun:

Simon, what would I be looking at for fitting a clutch to R33 GTS25t including machining flywheel?

PM me to let me know

Cheers :whistling:

PS was that you in the cream 32 on port rush rd as posted in the spotted thread?

sure was mate, thats my gf's car.

Clutches are one of the few things i wont do at my place, well on 33's anyway, A hoist is needed pref. 32 boxes are no worries lol.

I can however point you in the right direction for well priced yet good clutch jobs.

Cheers

Speaking from personal experience there Simon haha!! :D

yes and no, ive done the exact cooler and fit to my neighbours S2 r33 and i found the cooling pro kit lacked a few brackets and clamps, which meant stuffing around a bit. But otherwise its around a 3 hour or so job. I like to take my time when it comes to trimming the bar since this its the most visual area.

chuck it in your sig mate, ive had very good results with me offering my services

yeah Dan does the right nut :D between the to you got a couple of half nuts

BTW who do you recommend for clutch jobs

Edited by Madaz

One of my mates also runs his own business from his house.

His name is Mark and his business is Fuel Automotive, he is a diesel Mechanic by trade and does all the work on my car.

He does all mechanical work no matter how big or small and is much cheaper than a workshop.

If you would like to use his services you can PM me and i will give you his number.

Please remember that he only does this stuff in his spare time as he has a full time job.

^Shaun, sounds like the same guy who works on Martin (HOSTILE) and PureSX's cars. if you can PM me a number for him, I'd be interested to get a quote from him.

Cheers

Hotwire you are correct as we are all close friends

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
