Hi,

I'm kinda new to driving and I've recently bought a Nissan Skyline R34.

Do I go to ANY Nissan store to get General Maintenance? e.g:

I can go to http://www.nissan.com.au,

click Locate a Dealer,

Enter post code, (my postcode is 2761)

then go to the nearest one ?

if so, do I also get other repairs from them? such as body crack, dent repairs, etc.

Hi welcome to SAU and it's nice to see more people like you who think outside of the garden variety falcodore square.

Firstly, Nissan Service centres won't touch grey imports.

But being in NSW, we're in luck.

With your postcode, there is a recommended service centre, repairer, tuner and engine rebuilder at Unigroup Engineering at Girraween. The man's name is Yavuz and he won't sell you anything you don't need.

For service & repair of Skylines in your/our area, there are places in

i) Peachtree Rd Penrith (name of place escapes me)

ii) Faulconbridge Automotive at Faulconbridge (ie Darren and Michael)

iii) Steve's Autobarn Blackheath (ie Steve Phillips)

These all have clients who own GT-Rs too.

Be sure to only take your car to specialist mechanics who really know skylines, there are many many horror stories of people getting fked over by their local mechanic. I took my r34 to my local mechanic for a simple clutch change, took 5 days and he cut a hole in the bell housing, simply because he didn't know how to change a pull-type clutch.

Thanks for the info!

It really saved a lot of my time trying to find one

I've visited Unigroup Engineering the other day. There was 2 other GT-Rs outside which they were working on

and I got a booking for my car services. thumbsup.gif

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
