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

Just tell him you know Jamie with the Skyline, he'd know LOL!

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

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
