So anyway, I'm a new Canberran. Used to live in Melbourne and we just moved up here.

Where do you native Canberran's buy your cars? I decided that I'm in need of a new one and had a bit of a look around and there's not too much available. Do you go and get them from Sydney or Melbourne? Are there any performance car dealers in Canberra?

Hmmm, don't want to bombard you all with too many questions, so that's it for now.

Oh yes, and Hi! by the way.

G'day Locash,

Welcome to Canberra :)

There's not many import dealers in Canberra, and because of this they think they can put their prices up ;)

But there's Fast and Furious and EVO out in Fyshwick, Brain Hall in Phillip, and I think Shogans out in Belconnen. Probably more...

Best to buy private or take a trip to Sydney or Melb to grab one. A few nice ones come up privately, there's a few nice ones for sale in on SAU at the moment too !!

Cheers

Jayson

old skool! hehe...welcome Locash -  I remember u from the old SDU days!  :headspin:

whereabouts in Canberra did u move to?

Hehe - good old SDU. Those were the days.

I'm living in Swinger Hill (yeah, great suburb name) right near the Woden shopping centre. Working in the city.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes, and the advice. I will look privately, and in Melbourne too I think, although I'm in no rush. Got some Melbournites on the case for me too.

most important thing here - you're SOUTHSIDE :) :)

(we have southside vs northside wars in Canberra hehe) but you picked the right side of town so it's ok ;)

Swinger Hill is a nice suburb! it's got lots of townhouses, but the ones i've been in have been really nice, alot are bigger than your usual house :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
