Hi Everyone. Just moved to the Melbourne Area. :thumbsup:

My Car is in need of a good Service. something i would usually do my self but now have no space.

just after some that knows to use good quality oil, and when they change the filters they dont just pollish up the fuel filter to make it look new. (happened before ;) ). and uses good correctly gapped spark plugs.

ive noticed theres a fair few ultra tunes around the place. are they any good?

cheers

Rick

BTW: I drive a Celsior.

hey mate,

check this thread (an welcome to melbourne the place to be defected)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Lo...ops-t13305.html

i dont see why you cant take your car to EG: re customs, race pace for a service cars a car an money is money + plus the work they do is very good

it would be all good if i still had my 33... its just finding someone that will take a quality look at ls400/celsior for a good price. lexus want nearly 800 bucks for a service. :eek:

just sent an email off the RE customs seem like the ones to go to.

cheers for the prompt reply

i would agree with the chain/franchise stores but thanks to my mate (mechanic) he introduced me to the Midas guy next door to his workshop, who does great work (mates rates help)

Dan @ Midas (brighton). ex-NZ who worked on a lot of skylines/imports for a good number of years before coming over here. NZ is def not sure of jap imports.

Most of his mate referral work is on jap imports, skylines, 180's, etc... He fabricated up my exhaust, made a catback HKS super dragger from an R33 fit my R34. And fitted the rest of the system.

He knows his jap imports, and is very thorough in his work. Speak to Dan, tell him dan with the black R34 referred ya

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
