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

  • 1 month later...

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:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
