Hehe.. it sounds like it's going to be a skyrice australia meeting at Gavin's next week.

My cars down their the whole week (because I can't do down during the week and my b/f can't get time off) so Sinbad (car) is having a sleep over at Aunty Manda's and Uncle Gavins :uh-huh:

well, i got my last service at the new nissan service depot at wooloongabba and i couldnt be happier with it

they were cheap, went way above and beyond (they greased every lock and hinge in the car, i aint never seen that done before)

did an awesome (4) wheel alignment and was still cheap as (as well as they let me know a few things i need to do next time (leaky gasket, missing bonnet rubber))

maybe they cant do all the hitech stuff gavin woods can, but screw driving all the way down the coast every 5000k

ill be back there for my next service for sure (props to woman for finding them)

yeah i was wondering why you added the last comment ;P

dont read qgl much anymore, mainly because its full of shit now and the flamewars dont exist anymore. The funs gone and the nazis reign.

I was going to ring today but rang outta time being sick. But I have to find someone taht can fix the air cond fan in the dash to work again it died and if I get this fmic shortly I would like someone to put it in, as I'm short of time. Mainly just want the odds and ends fixed and the car tuned up and service. I was planning on doing it at the same time,a nd getting it dyno'd and running smooth, just wondering if gavin would be able to do all this, or would I have too take my car to like 10 different car shops?

yeah i read your dash read me, its pretty easy to take apart, but the thing is I dont ahve much time these days. tadoy I wasnt felling 100% so I went out and got some cash and hunted around to see where i could get teh air cond fan checked and working. The turbo timer is just I have weird the wires to the wrong one, optput 2 is on the igition and not the other wire. fix weekend.

intercooler and piping shouldnt be too hard just need grinder, drill and a coping saw/jigsaw. but first have to see what piping i get with the kit. the bar and lights are easy to take off, but its a pirck to get the bar back on.

I restored a hj ute from 3 write offs,a nd painted it, so I do know a bit about handy work. Learnt most of it as a kid at dads work. Just atm Its cheaper for me to get someone else to do it while I earn the dosh, and if its all put together and serviced then tuned and dyno'd I get a car thats got the works done in one go. None of this every weekend drop off and check crap or get it serviced then next week tuned.

Time is the main issue I have, its a problem to get stuff done when 14 hrs of the day your at work, and 12 on the weekends. just been lucky lately to be able to have sundays off beacuse the dollar is up and not much coming tinto australia atm.

yup, time is money.. i wasn't really implying you were lazy ;) just that its not too hard to do if you want to put in the time. The dash took me about 2 days work so i can see why you'd want to do get somebody else to do it if you didn't have the time!

i took the dash out and tried to get the air cond fan working onthe weekend, and i put the turbo timer in, but connected a wrong wire at the key harness, so I ahve to fix that this weekend, just have the timer off till then. the steering wheel was the hardest to realign, took about 20 minutes to get the wheel on perfect. gotta get a plastic horn bit as the one in mine was broken and need a horn.

went to all jap at virgina, $20 for the plastic bit wher ethe door opener is. and thats second hand. just the plastic not the lever. nad its worn a bit.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
