Hey guys,

For those members around Chatswood/Artarmon area - do you guys reccomend anyone for a wheel alignment and settings changed forcamber/caster etc for track days/sprints etc?

Been a while since last adjustments made and done a few days on them, just need to check if everythings good and make adjustments if need be.

I know theres a pedders...but does anyone else know of other shops?

Cheers,

Chris

Chris, I think Pedders are your best bet - They did some work on my GTR that I was quite impressed with.

TCCA ie H & R are a Euro focused workshop, the guys at pedders have done a lot of Skylines and should be able to set your car up to your specs without a problem

Thanks subie, Nick and Nick! :action-smiley-069:

Blitz - I met the area rep for pedders @ summernats, he no longer works there though and I actually would trust him, but yeah, if they have done work to your GTR, I'll give em a bizz again

thanks guys :)

I forget the guys name that did the work, but it was a young guy and I think he and his old man owned the place, Scott maybe?

yeah father and son own it. they were pretty good, but I don't like anywhere with a laser alingment machine. very hard to get repeatable results imo. now adays I either do it myself with string or take it to heasmans. bit of a mission, but worth it. :whistling:

Go and see scott at pedders artarmon... i had problems with my old pulsar the day i was trading it in for the skyline and he fixed me up no probs... After getting work done there i nearly didnt want to get rid of the car.. one of the best wheel alignments ive had.

TCCA is also a good workshop.. located just down the street.. Bumped into a old mate on thursday night and found out he was a head mechanic there!

Peter at Road and Pace Performance at Rydal mere (Couple of k's out of Parramatta).

Experienced racer, builds great cars. He installed my Whiteline group buy kit and made my GTR feel the best it has ever been.

Someone from this forum with a 33 gtr recommended him to me.

Rydalmere isn't really near Artarmon mate :teehee:

U'll be able to rest easy with the car there

Yeah so far so good!!

Will give the car a good work out at OP saturday, but so far feels more stable!

Chris gave me a few pointers also so lets hope its all good!

cheers!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
