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:

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
