Tommy: Nathan has worked on my zed, MR2 and GTR and done an excellent job on each of them at very reasonably prices.

He recently fitted my Nismo clutch to the GTR as you know and I was suitably impressed.

I've said it a number of times, but I think Nathan is one of the good'uns. He's straight forward, gets things done quickly and there is never any nonsense.

I'll give you a few examples.

1) I booked my car in to get the injectors cleaned. When I dropped it off he noticed it was idleing high: I said that I would also like to get the timing checked and reset. Got the bill, and he didn't charge me for the idle reset or timing check/reset. Sure they are quick jobs, but he has every right to charge for them.

2) A gasket blew on the exhaust side of my engine. I lived with it for a few weeks but it was getting worse. I rang Nathan on a Friday to ask him about some parts. Before I could even get to that, he offered to open up specially on Saturday so I could bring the car down and he could have a look.

When I said (feeling rather guilty) that I would give it a go myself, but needed a few parts, he ordered them in for me, suggested some others I hadn't thought about. I asked him if he could order in some of the annoying washers for the turbo oil and water lines: he gave me a bunch of them for free.

That's the kind of bloke he is, and that's why I always try and get any work on my car done there.

Well said Lucien - I find that with work its hard to get time to run around getting things done with my car and Nathan makes it all very easy.

With my clutch I dropped the car off in the morning at 8:30, jumped a bus to the city, cabbed it back at 5pm, car was ready with new clutch fitted and starter motor rebuilt, no questions, no surprises and a very reasonably priced bill.

Things like this make getting work done on my car so much easier.

I've only recently started dealing with him, and have had a few issues some injectors that he installed and supplied. (note. problems due to the injectors not workmanship). He's been understanding and patient with me and hasnt given me any impression that he would do a dodgy job.

He is the type of bloke who will make an effort to keep his customers happy. I'm sure if it was another mechanic he would of told me to go stick up my arse.

I will keep using him for things which are beyond me.

I was there this morning as well!

It was skyline city today. But he also had a Daewoo in there..... What the!!!!!!!!!!

Nathan is excellent. I have had both my skylines serviced/repaired by him. He doesn't over charge, He does things rigth the first time around and he is always forthcomming with advice. I have never taken either of my skylines anywhere else.

He is also super patient.

Thanks

Adam

Hey I know this is abit late, but spotted a black R33 with pink interior driven by a blonde chick 'HOTEE' heading south off hassle onto james russe 9:40am.

good to see more girls into skylines but can't say much about the interior.

hahah yogi they would no doubt be my old injectors.....which is a bummer since they were working OK when I pulled em off my car. :( Hope you found some decent ones.

BTW :werd: to Nath at Ghey Imports, he does a great job and puts up with my stoopid questions all the time ;)

I spotted AE07UG yellow 32 GTR today, not sure wtf it stands for? Also spotted Chris (RedX) down at Autosport Engineering and HGE002 at Kenthurst

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
