Hi,

My local Beaurepaires have told me that I need to find a workshop with the special tool to allow a wheel alignment on my R34. Aparently it makes the rear steer central before perfoming a 4 wheel alignment.

Can anyone recommend a worshop in the north east suburbs of Melbourne that can do this?

Thanks,

Michael.

Thanks. I've known Craig for many years, but I dont live in that area anymore. I was hoping there'd be someone in the north east (Bundoora, Greensbourough) area.

i'm sure Traction Tyres in Rowville will be able to help ya out as well.. got some new crazy looking alignment machine there now as well

Thanks. I know Traction Tyres and their involement in Rallying over the years, so they really know what they are doing. Its just a bit of a drive from where I live (north east suburbs).

Due to only having two recomendations, I'm starting to wonder if I was mis-informed.

Has anyone encountered this before? (tyre shop telling you need to go to a Nissan dealer or tyre shop that has a special tool to centre the HICAS before/when performing a 4 wheel alignment)

Where do you get your wheel alignments done when you have a Skyline with 4WS?

Michael.

I'm pretty sure the hicas will always be centred when the car is on and not moving due to it being electric I expect it would be centred without the engine running too. As far as I know hicas puts in inputs to move the rack when required, otherwise it's centered....

I understand what you're saying here Omurru. That's how I thought HICAS worked. I've had alignments done on my HR31 (past car) and the tyre shop didnt comment on the special need to centre the HICAS.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
