Hey denham,

In order to get a wheel alignment, you gotta go to someone who has a Hicas lock, cuase some places dont have it. Thre's a place in oakleigh that I used to go to get mine done. Tyre factory in dandenong can do it, but last time my mate went in there they damaged his front skirt and then denyed it, same with my mates dad's VXSS..so dont go there.

If you ring up a place, just tell them its got 4ws like the honda preludes, and if they can do the honda's they can do your skyline man.

Regards

Nah man i never got it done, I cant be f.u.c.k.ed, I think the problem is bigger than i thought so im just gonna leave it till my wheel falls off. I think my Pit arm, or steering arm is f.ucked, its dripping some sort of oil, power steering oil i think..i dont whats going on down there, we'll see how it goes, i definatley need the bushes changed though, might do it myself depending on how hard it is, any one know?

Skyline's do not require a special tool like Prelude's - you can take it pretty much anywhere to get a fair job done.

I used to manage a tyre/alignment shop for years and can tell you that most alignment technicians have absolutly no idea what they are doing. I would suggest going to somewhere that only does suspension and alignment work (not just any old tyre shop)

Hi,

There are two places that I would highly recomend as they are experts in this field and will do a great job.

1. Traction Tyres in Rowville.

These guys are one of the largest motorsport tyre distributors in Melbourne for Yokohama. They set up a lot of race cars and know there stuff. My GTR is heading in their on Monday for a full alignment.

2. Tru Track in North Melbourne.

Speak with Ralph and tell him Shaun from GT Sports sent you. He deals with a lot of modified and lowered cars and is very well known in Melbourne for knowing his stuff. He will make sure your car is spot on!!

Hope this helps,

Shaun.

thankz guys!

got it done and was out 6 degrees at the back left and 2 degrees and the front left!

Drives normal now

I think drivin with that space saver i ws using out the back caused a bit of the problem cause it was 1 inch smaller than my other rims and everytime i accelerated hard it flung the ass out to the left!

Mansons in bayswater..excellent they know their stuff

Bob Jane in Ringwood...used to be owned by Jim Richards and the guys who were there then are still there and are good too.

There's 3 types of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't :)

Got to agree about Manson's, and also Traction Tyres

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
