Hey guys, I'm still cruising around Townsville so wave to the bloke in the turbo'd Tokyo taxi if you get the chance. I'm also trying to decide on a few things. My ride has some issues and its been tough to get some of them sorted. Boost creeping past 15psi, hesitation at 5k and stalling. Up until now the main issue has been cash flow (I'm studying - hence strapped) but I've got some plastic cash put aside now so I run into a second problem. Who will do the work?

So far the choices appear to be Paul at Extreme and Lee at LG Automotive for the mechanical (unless anyone else started tuning Nistune in the last year and I've missed it?) and Prestige Paint and Panel for some touch ups to the body work.

Any other ideas?

Deal, remember to bring it with you when you come up here.

Just had a look then and apparently it got thrown out a few weeks ago while I was at work. I'll try and find one from someone in Mackay for you tonight if you want

If anyone is interested I also have a turbosmart dual stage Boost controller and a set of anodized blue tuner wheel nuts (the ones taleb tyres sell)

paul at whitehouse st is the best for skylines, just hope you have very deep pockets. go to northern crash repairs on bays water rd their work is pretty good.

Hey man how bout dynolink?

Hmm, When I emailed them last year they said they didn't really tune nistune but could do me a viptech for a cool four grand.

It's already got a 3076R and some supporting add ons but it needs a decent tuner to get the best out of it. Right now I don't get much love above 5k because it either over-boosts until it cuts out or it hesitates so much it feels like the engine is just about to fall out of the bottom of the car. I think I will end up taking it to Paul. He had a little trouble with the software last time I had him look at it but I think I've got it sorted now. Plus he didn't have his dyno up and running then.

As for the body work... It's been to northern crash repair and I wasn't too pleased with the finished result. Nothing major just little things that could have been done better. EG: Small dint left in a freshly painted bonnet, bonnet wasn't aligned correctly, the body kit could have been better secured and tighter.

It's booked in for Tuesday with Paul @ X-treme. I'm going to try and get a video of it on the dyno so this weekend I'll be washing it and changing the oil.

How much did paul want for the tune? I might hit him up to for a retune myself.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
