Hi All,

I was reading a thread a while back about a workshop at Lonsdale that was getting rave reviews. I've tried searching, but can't find the thread again. Can anyone tell me what the name of the workshop is?

Cheers guys :P

Yeah, i take my Car to HPIAB, he is a workshop mainly, but is also a store, mainly online/email/phone orders etc. You are always going to find positives and negatives with any workshop you look at, it just comes down to your experience with them. I have not had any issues with HPIAB, and i get along with them rather well and do suggest them, as will 2-3 other members on here.

I know there was another workshop, further south, at Hackham that was getting good reviews a few weeks back...something like Classic Performance, but i am not aware of any other workshops at Lonsdale.

Not sure where he is, But Steve Cramp from Manta is very highly rated and he's down the south area...

-D

Yeah Classic Performance.

The guy used to operate the dyno at Graeme West workshop and then opened up his own place down Hackham way.

I take my GTR there now since Boostworx moved 394857390487503875k's up north. Awesome service and awesome people :P they even gave me a tour of the workshop and dyno cell when I first went there.

Oh and their dyno cell is AMAZING. If I could live in it, I would. I would even hold my babies in there. If the cell had a womb.

Are you thinking of Steve Knight Racetech? Owned/Operated by Steve Knight (duh!) who is an Evo/Mitsubishi tuning gun! Used to work in development of Mitsi when in adelaide in developing driveability of the magna's etc. Also gun race driver, evo mechanic basically anything Mitsi, however has also been devling into Skylines And Subaru's of late. Top guy, great prices and calls a spade a spade.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
