Hey guys i was just wondering where you get your skylines serviced, in particular gtr's? I got my gt-t serviced at unley nissan and they did a good cheap at a decent price but was just seeing where other people went, im sure this has been covered before but couldnt be bothered searching! my car had its 50,000km service done in japan in november last year so looking for somewhere to carry on with the logbooks from then. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Like many have said, a genuine nissan service will give you a good logbook, but you'll pay thru the nose. There are some great 'tuner' based mechanics around, such as Boostworx and Tillbrooks, however for my money I go to Road n Track (Gil Camerons workshop), as I've been with them for a long time and they've never let me down... theyre close to me (tillbrooks is closer) but I've had nothing but top service from the guys at road n track. Theyve done a lot of street machines, sprint cars, exotics and their fair share of imports too... the guys who work there are really into the job, most of them race either sprint cars or targa tassie, couple guys do the adelaide classic.... if any of u guys have heard of charlie kovacs, his car was built by these guys..

Going back there in a month to get a stupid amount of stuff fitted. ECU, cam gears, gauges, clutch, gearbox, fuel lines. It wont be cheap, but it'll be cheaper than some, and Im really happy with the tunes that Ive gotten there. Check my sig :P

if you want to go by the book and get ripped off (most places) go to the dealers, if not theres plenty of other mechanics who would do services for a lot less boostworx, tilbrook, hitech dyno tune these guys work on jap imported cars every day

hope it helps

For known quality service go to known workshops like ones mentioned in this thread... for pretty logbook and having your car worked on by f**k knows who go dealers.

I personally do what I can and what I cant I take it to any known workshops that can get the work done soonest.

im pretty sure there isn't one thing i haven't done to a car in the way of services, manual conversions, engine conversions, turbo conversions, injectors, suspension, wiring looms (from the start), custom manifolds, exhausts, diffs, clutches, full rebuilds (now doing rotarys) trans and tuning!! but when it comes down to it unley nissan have information and equipment for these cars that no one else does, their technicians need to go learn about each car etc, so if i didn't do it all myself i would go to unley nissan for a service anyday. They are qualified and in the game, They get beaten down to their knees if a vehicle comes back with issues.

Thats cool then - personally though I would feel better taking my car to a known reputable workshop that has been tried and proven... but seeing people talking highly of Unley Nissan I may consider them for future references.

      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.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      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.
