Hey all,

Just a random question. I have to go through AWN warranty to get my car's misfire/gear crunching fixed, and they have recommended me to a place in Osbourne park called Aquilla Automotive's?

Has anyone ever heard of these guys? apparently they are around the corner from Xspeed. I would LIKE to take my car to Xspeed or someone similar! but I'm not too sure the AWN warranty dealers will let me :thumbsup:

If anyone has had any experiences with them or what you think I should do?

That would be GRAND!

firstly, xspeed is in o'connor so i hope u don't get lost. and xspeed is rather expensive and quite slow with everything, but will give a good service once they make a start. Well thats just my experience with them. Could not comment on Aquilla Automotive's cause i haven't heard of them.

Good luck.

DOH!!!!

I meant O'connor.... yes basically they are both in O'connor...

@hoony

Yeah I was going to try and ask, I did last time but I think the guy ignored me... he mentioned Xspeed used to be on their list but now they aren't?

I mean it's worth a try if I go in and tell them what I want replaced. eg splitfires in, redline shockproof in. Or you reckon it's better to let them diagnose... NOT much experience with garages that I'm not too sure about but have to go through..

Max at Aquilla is awsome. He has done quite a bit of work for me and does my regular servicing for both my cars. Very trusted and is a gun mechanic. :)

Orly.... Max is it? I think someone different answered the phone, they are on Zeta crescent in O'Connor. Either way if you say this Max is great, then i'll just go and let them fiddle with it until my car works :) Hope they do separate claims! can only claim up to a certain amount for every part... but in that case I have unlimited claims to hehe

You can also get AWN to pay out the warranty amount. Take it to Aquilla Automotive's and get them to have a look at it and qoute how much they think it will cost to repair then they will tell AWN the total amount or you can tell AWN. You can then say to them that you want that amount in cash instead and take it to your mechanic of choice.

It says in the warranty booklet that the owner can choose to have the amount paid in cash instead of having it repaired or something along those lines. It is worth a shot so have a read the booklet before you do anything.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
