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.

Lucien.

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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
