If you don't mind driving, Traction Tyres rowville does an excellent job, they are not cheap, I think I paid ~$110 for a 4 wheel alignment but they tune the settings carefully ;)

EDIT: at Traction Tyres you can actually see them working...lol

so u'd rather have a dodgy $60 job than a proper $120, only to have to come back 2 or 3 times which is gonna cost $180 down the track?

u misunderstood, im looking for a place people recommend. price isnt the biggest issue as long as they do a good job. also im trying to find a find a place that does a lot of imports rather that changing mum and dads tyres every day

I second this.

Yep traction - they've done my alignments twice now - no issue's at all, had a good chat with me about what i wanted from the car.

Could feel a noticeable difference as soon as i left the place (lots of adjustable stuff on my car)

I went to Bob Jane Moorabbin May this year, salesman Adam, guy that did the job was Darren who is good with GTRs, did all 4 wheels with printout, $75.

Try there again.

No one does a good wheel alignemnt anymore - it's all rubbish these days.

You can take the same car to 6 different places that have these lazer alignment machines and all 6 places will give you a different result but each of them will swear theirs is acurate!!

+1 for traction. After having problems with scalloping tyres (and thinking it may have been a collaped shock or a wheel bearing) they had a look at it and diagnosed it for free, and where great with getting it fixed.

Will be going back soon to get my brakes checked.

well i ended up back at bob jane in moorabbin and i it cost $75 for a 4wheel alignment n they did a brilliant job. also the fellow who did it actually had a chat with me afterwards and told me how i could fix a problem with my control arm. i didnt fully understand it first but then he dumbed it down and showed me. good bloke. id recommend this place to anyone in that area

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
