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

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
