Floor mats, seat covers, airfresheners and oils.......thats about all autobarn and supercheap are good for.

Can't believe you younger fellas buy parts from either of these mass outlets, you're paying a premium for crap!

okay... where do u get all your gear?

purchasing from online sponsors are the best way to go, best price, deals and you get what you order for (well in most cases) and to fit just bring it to your trusty mechanic ^_^

+1

'net in general, research etc get the best deal from 'round the world

total trades supplies, total tools, soldertech. Places like that are specialised in Tools etc, They actually most of the time know what they are on about, its where most tradies get their tools as do i.

Motor traders are very good for auto parts like OEM shit, like replacements for engine parts, tools etc....

For brand new aftermarket performance shit for jap cars definetly online traders.

the guys at Autobarn noarlunga are great, couple of the guys that work in there own imports so i find them very helpful. 2 of the guys in there own skylines so i always ask them if im not sure about anything.. Never had any trouble with them, but yeh havnt shopped at the mile end autobarn, except to buy my clublock. Not going to shop there now.

Thank you mate....i own the maroon 33 thats always out the front,i think i remember helping you with a pod filter or something?its nice to hear some good feedback,i get alot of imports coming through and its always good to have a chat about their cars and generally have a break from the hordes or commonwhores and alike.

i have referd countless people that have just recently bought a skyline to this fourm.

i can quiet honestly say that the assistance and service we give in our store (noarlunga) is 2nd to none.i have been to many different car shops and just retail shops in general and have never experienced the kind of service EVER at any store that i see offered to every customer that comes through our doors.

yea we mark our products up by 200%......moron

think you can find something cheaper else where,what do you think the massive poster that says PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE on it is for?

if you think a product is of cheap quality,dont buy it! it doesnt get much simpler then that.

yes i agree alot of people in the buisness have absolutly no idea what there doing,mostly because there employers have not invested in any sort of training for them.

it will probly interest u to know that the owner of mile end has been trying to sell the buisness for a long time,thats why the stocks are always low.i dont know whats going on with the staff out there tho.

Yeh you were the guy at the Old skool, new age show at the autobarn booth thing? Your car looked pretty nice from what i remember. Always asked for the other dude in autobarn cos i thought he owned the 33 LOL I was in there not that long ago asking about O rings for fuel injectors, think it was you that i asked.

But yeh, i'd rather go there then to supercheap, nothing against supercheap, just know my way around autobarn and havn't had any problems with them.

Ryan was trying to wind him up and he succeeded... no harm no foul. The 200% bit was said in jest and so (I would Assume) was the moron bit.

Back onto the Auto Bahn Bagging

The Gilles Plains store isn't much better that the Mile End on. The owner is a complete twat and doesn't know shit; although he well and truly thinks he does.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
