what did he do that was worth 500?

Removed old gearbox. Installed new gearbox, clutch kit, lightened flywheel, replaced shifter cables and speedo sender.

New driveshaft boots.

Oil leak fixed + oil change (including gbox)

And some other stuff which I can't remember :P Will check the receipt later. Fair bit of work for $500, which is what some other mechs have charged me for like 4 hours work.

imo, cars wit that much poke look good from that angle.. that is all

ridiculous from the back, ridiculous form the front.

says the habib rolling in a sedan with hobo spec suspension.

and by hobo spec, I mean when you park the car at night, hobos climb in the gap between your wheel and fender for shelter.

usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

haha yeh depends on the house, location and most of all the sellers motivation. If you see somethign you like link me i may have a contact within the agency selling it to get you a no bs idea on where its at.

yeh that happens out east and inner west a fair bit its bs its all private sale where i am thankfully - much easier for buyer /seller. You can grab a bargain at auction though particurarly when the market is favouring buyers like now.

cheers bro. The ones ive got my eyes on are all auctions so will have an idea of the pricing once the bidding war starts. First one this Sunday, so we'll see how it plays out haha

Well my mechanic tried to spin both wheels. The left one spun. The right didn't.

Turns out the handbrake was on BUT wasn't functioning on the left side so he got confused.

showing a little tyre is needed imo

also awesome firework

car sounds pretty mangled

other than your sig what is wrong?

Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK.

Apparently 'tis not that simple.

My local guy is $50 according to my last bill ;)

I take everything i need for service/want changed. Pick it up the same day. Works out well.

Guy works with a lot of race teams and is in Europe a lot, was @ bathurst 12hr for instance :D

Good that I've finally found someone that i can trust locally AND clearly knows what he is talking about

Obviously still get Chris to do the major stuff. But general service type of thing, cant go wrong and it saves me 1.5hrs on trains + the drive there/back etc over 2 days.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
