maybe throw up a rough price for general service (oil/filter/plugs), then maybe a diff oil/trans oil change, to things like links/bushes/suspension just to give people an idea. Seems like timing belts are your thing :D, rough price to get one changed? maybe even turbo swaps/manifold swaps, not everyone needs work right now, but if something where to come up then its always a good reference.

will keep you in mind, if im unable to do it myself :ban:

ok then .

quotes.

timing belts full kits inc,water pump,bearings,fresh coolant,belt,seals,checkover car,from 700$.

service oil and checkover car from 65 inc mineral oil and filter.

direct bolt on turbos for rb's from 250$

full service inc,gearbox,check diff,,engine,brake,and complete check pver from 140$inc parts and labour .

really if you can find better on these prices i would say go for it as they are not much for labour.

cheers,

ps. had plenty of happy customers ,

hope every one is happy with the service as i am pretty sure that they are.

Just to give John another :thumbsup: - he did the water pump, cam belt, tensioner, idler, air/powersteer/alternator belts on my 32 GTR. He did great work and gave me a good price. It was also cool to be able to hang around and chat about a few other aspects of the car. Definitely recommended.

i don't know john so i can't say if he's good or not... he sounds decent

one thing that will be a worry is that he doesn't have public liability (???)

this could be an issue if you get a dickhead customer who screams 'you broke my car!'

i need an auto electrician... i want a relay or solenoid installed in my car as it has hot start problems?

can you do this? i prefer not to replace the starter as it's ok otherwise

just engine with no box or complete car ,

as i have to do this in my driveway and it is hard with no hoist it would not be worth it as you would be able to get any shop with even a bit of gtr knowledge would probably be able to do it cheaper.unless its just engine it would not be woth it for me or you to do it.

sorry but im just laying it out straight.

cheers

what do you mean hot start probs. as in the car wont start again once its warmed up?

if this is the case its prob a faulty starter relay in that case just needs a replacement with a new one if thats not it i would need to have a look at it and yeah i can probably fix it !

ps. its good to see someone look from the mechanics p.o.v for once on the liability factor as that stuff does happen but i am not stupid and if something goes wrong thats my fault i warrant all the work i do.

cheers

lol mate i was like you , doing little jobs at home but now ive got all the specialty tools

i do engine rebuilds , gbox rebuilds , turbo/engine conversions e.t.c anything really,but rarely do i get ppl for service's

i specialize in SR's RB's and EJ's

current job im doing

    • 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?
