This is my Pedders experience.

Had the wheel alignment done on my R33GTS-T and it came back with a large scratch in the left rear quarter panel - which they obviously denied doing. Had a great fight with them when I asked them to use Gary's (Sydneykid) settings for the wheel alignment - they did it but with much complaining and probably resulted in the scratch.

Prices are very expensive - 12mm camber bolts Pedders = $115, Whiteline $79

The only thing going for them is that they stock front ball joints for R32/R33/R34 GTS-T's.

so they measured up my car to see how much lower it will be with there sports ryder springs. (i have nismo s type struts and an unknown but firm spring, that i figured was stockish height)

aparently they will raise the car 10mm both ends. wtf type of lowering spring is that!!!

*starts saving for coilovers* (not pedders)

meh pedders here don't even stock more than about 4 parts for R32 GT-R/4 suspension and the guy took a look at my car and says 'hmm haven't seen many of those', would rather get stuff done at goodyear - at least the guys there had a good idea of how an R32's suspension works!

Hi all, first time poster and owner of a skyline R34. went to get it looked at by a local mechanic coz the steering wheel was vibrating a bit on idle. He said I needed to get the front radius rod bushes replaced and suggested I go to pedders coz it's an import.

So I go to pedders and got them replaced for $260 but then they told me that they couldnt do the wheel alignment coz the steering gear is leaking internally and will cost another $1100 odd dollars to fix.

Just wanted to know if this sounded reasonable and should I be looking around elsewhere to see if it is bull. Can anyone recommend someone in melbourne, particularly in the western suburbs?

No it's not reasonable. A second hand steering rack should only be 300 or so, and it isn't that much in labour to install. Also, I can't see how a leak would prevent them from doing a wheel alignment. Just go somewhere else to get the alignment done.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
