hey guys im coming to qld for a long long weekend and during this time a gtr has caught my eye which im going to check out, im just wondering if any one knows any experts or well known mechanics that will come out (for a fee or what ever) that can inspect the car for me and give a report without me having to take the car to a tuner shop that knows about the r32 gtrs..

thanks.

also try jorge and the boys at j&a autocare or j a automotive (sorry it's been a while since I had the GTR) but I normally went to them if dan wasn't available and they were a lot closer to where I live.

they were in underwood just behind the wreckers (alljap?) on kingston rd but I did see a few months ago a J&A autocare in moss st slacks creek maybe they've moved.

Hey Ezy I'm in the same boat as you mate & trying to find a reliable Skyline ideally around Brisvegas & Gold Coast areas (R34 GT-T) but unfortunately I'm not mechanically minded. After doin some research through this forum I came across a really good post (see below) in which some ppl have suggested using State Roads for inspections. I personally have never used them but when I find my potential new joy ride I probably will.

Here is an example of their comprehensive vehicle inspection test ----> http://www.stateroads.com.au/comp_report.asp

Fyi, I was priced approx. $250 - $300 for this test (psst... I checked with NSW & VIC centres first & was quoted their prices which for some reason is cheaper then what the QLD centre quoted me :yucky: so after mentioning this they said they will match NSW & VIC prices :bunny: ). Also, if the vehicle isn't located close to major cities you may need to pay a travel fee so be sure to check with them if this is applicable.

Great post with info about what to look out for when purchasing a Skyline ----> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/35129-im-buying-a-skyline-what-should-i-look-for/

Best of luck :thumbsup:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
