Hi

thanks for replys i ended up taking my car to gavin wood and he did a brillant job on my car. now runs alot better then before. he also uses very good products for the car such as oil, parts etc.

i did notice that some parts needed for my car were quite pricey so make sure ,if you go there to have the right money aside and possibly a bit extra.

regards.

Its worth spending a bit extra to know that the quality of work is good.. Take it to somewhere with a less savoury reputation and you will end up spending much more in the long run. I've always taken my cars to Gavin and will continue to do so.

Yeah I haven't talked to him for years but he did know his stuff. So he resorted to stealing? He had like half a mill in snap-on tools, an 11 second v-spec daily driver and a 10 second GTR track car. You'd think he would have the money not to be a scum.... So he went down the same track as Steve Mc Iver (mr GTR) what a f*k...

Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, one day all those people will give an account of their actions to God.....and I don't mean Godzilla.

Hey, I realise he's not around now for the wrong reasons but dispite his drug use he "did" do some good work. I said, "did", I haven't seen or heard of him for like 6 or more years. Back 7 or 8 years ago he was one of the few people in Queensland that knew alot about Nissan performance and inparticular GTRs. I could tell you some stories too but back then he was doing a shit load better than the likes of Tokyo Toys (who after being on ACA twice moved to brisabane and changed their name), MR GTR, Rigolli and Sub Zero! As for his, cars I have seen both of them but can't confirm the times, that's just what he told us. These people will or already have pissed off the wrong people which is probably why they arn't around anymore. It's sad that people think it's acceptable to steal, lie and defile etc,.... but one day they will have to repay.

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
