Zoix, all your problems would be fairly straight forward fixes. You should give them a go your self first.

Only thing they probably wouldnt do is the speedo.... as it could be a million different things.

Fuel sender problems and window motors have been covered on here and SDU a number of times tho.

well atm i have been working 7 days a week, because all this shit coming in to australia for x-mas and we been exporting commodores to nz from here, also all the riveria bost to usa(****ing 1.2 million speed boats)

its been flat out and i have had a look, but really get do anything beacuse i also havent got a license. so its hard to get to that place in capalba to get parts(its like 2kms from my house).

so yeah rather pay someone to fix it then get home after a 18 hr shift have to be at work after 10 hr break and get hom to fix my car :(

I do believe SDU is Skylines down under.

Gavin was really nice when after all these props on here I took my car to him just for a service. Really impressed with his ability to tell you to go home and do it yourself. other guys would do it so more dollars go in their pockets.

and he was saying something about a nissan machine he has so it can read all the error codes that can come up in the car computer or something like that. anyone know more?

It's a Consult Machine.

Gavin is the only other person I know of, beside Nissan Australia that are LEGALLY allowed to have these machines. They are worth emormous amounts of money and they do their job perfectly. If something with your car isn't running right, he will hook this machine up to see whats going on.

My car is data streamed everytime I go down there.

Well, I have heard many good thing about Gavin Woods, from here and other random locations. His name always seems to crop up in a positive light. I hope this is all true as I shall drop my car in there tomorrow (hopefully) as it has shat the crank case seal big time and is spraying oil everywhere. They seemed good to talk to on the phone so he is off to a good start!!

Wow, $100-150 isnt too bad, I know my dads commo normally is about that, and thats taking it to a pretty good mechanic up in brisbane (just normal cars tho) I think it will be worth taking my 1/2 skyline down to see him then :D

He's built many skylines for Skyline Import at Loganlea. The guys names Ernie. Gavin has buit him many cars actually. Including a GTS-t with all GTR parts (IIRC) including all guards and stuff. Also a stagea. And every other car that Ernie has built for Zoom magazine, Gavin has done.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
