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.

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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
