I'm a new car detailer, but I don't charge any less than $200 to buff and deswirl an entire car.. I've found most people that drive imports think that's rediculous, but it takes me at least a whole day - especially on black.

I can service your car for you, if your after a general Oil, oil filter, coolant, plugs, timing check and whatever else you want doing and i wont say shit about anything else about regency if it makes you happy hehe. Use all genuine parts.

Ryan, I'd like to have my timing checked if you can do that. I have my own timing light, but obviously there are no leads to clip it to. Damn RB motors :D Might also change my plugs too ... I have a set of iridiums ready to go.

Kev,

The SP23 is out of lease soon, and I want a full detail to prepare it for sale (buff, interior detail including condition the leather, and engine bay cleanup) How much to do that? Yes I realise it may be a few hundred but can make the difference when it comes to sale ;)

Cheers

Lee

^^ theres a loop on the coilpack ignitor you get your signal from to check timing :)

That doesn't give a correct reading as it's intented for the Timing lights that Nissan use. You need to take no1 coilpack out and run a lead (any normal lead) between the coil and the spark plug, then you will get a true reading.

Righto, that was my next option. But I don't have anything with a lead to donate for the timing check :D

yeah as ryan said dont use that loop at the back it doesnt give an acurate reading (gives me exactly a double reading)

Their is an image of the loop to use in SydneyKids timing belt how to some where.

You can actually just slide the coilpack cover back a bit and get the light onto number 1 coil pack somehow and move it around slighlty and youll eventually pick it up with an inductive timing light ruby. Give me a yell some time if you want i did my own timing belt and managed to get a reading from it this way to make sure all was sweet once it was back together (checked timing prior and after belt change)

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
