thks NismoGirl and Knore for recommendations on how to kill time there. guess i either drag my gf along or pop into the nearby cinema for a show then...

unless Gavin let me help him service my own car .... :bonk:

Nah, no ones allowed into the workshop unless they are escorting you to show you something wrong with your car. Which, come to think of it, I spend most of my time in the workshop than sitting down chatting to Amanda :|

One good thing about Gavin's and his mechanics is they like to show you things so you are aware of problems or what things do. When my car had the power problem, he showed me the consult machine to show me what was going on. I kinda understood it, but not really. I learn lots of things when I go down there :D

Its going to be a good 350-400km round trip for me, mines up for a 100,000 service, however allot of the stuff is already done, like...

- Plat plugs

- Timing belt only

- Diff oil

- Trans oil

- Rad flush

- Brake fluid flush

- Fuel filter

- Engine oil & filter

I'll give them a call but can anyone give me a heads up on what else there is?

Do they do...

- Other belts?

- Injector clean?

- Compression test?

Ta for any info!

Only 1 more day till my car goes to gaven and gets a full service ,power fc, tuned on dyno and street and gets the AVC-R wired up and working :) cant wait to pick it up friday afternoon. i took the car to gaven 2 weeks ago just to get a check over as i just got it from japan etc. when i picked it up and asked him why arnt the turbos boosting till so late, his eyes opened up and he replyed with they are N1's your looking at 600hp+ after you buy a power fc and i tune it. LOL :) I CANT WAIT !!!!!

haha man thats crazy!!! Sounds like an awesome car. I was at Gavin's today im getting him to install my FMIC and tune my s-afc. He's heaps busy lately i have to wait 2 weeks as hes all booked out! I feel like such a tight ass when i go there because everyone else spends mega $$ on shit for their cars. He's still nice to me though even though he knows im poor :)

Dont feel like a tight arse. Every time that I go down there, I only get a service and I've been going there for nearly 2 years :rolleyes: I don't have the money at the moment to get anything done. Your lucky your getting a FMIC.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather spend less than spend more :) But that's just me!

Did he give you a price range as to what it costs to do the tuning and install of those two items?? How long does it take as well? A whole day?

Lucky man! I wish I had a pfc and an avcr :rolleyes:

nizmogirl, its about $750 to get it all done.

dyno run and all.

very cheap hay. it cost me over $1000 to get my VXSS V8 tuned with LS1edit on a dyno.

he said to drop of the car tomorrow (thursday morning) and it will take 2 days so im guessing friday arvo i can pik her up :rolleyes:

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
