Hi all,

I need your help here, and any feedback is appreciated.

I've gone to see and rung a few mechanics and auto electricians and a majority don't know how to fix the problem with my boost gauge. The boost gauge works sometimes and other times doesn't work. I don't want to tamper with the control sensor, just worried I'll brake something.

Does anyone know a good auto electrician that is also reasonably priced?

Also, I've had a service on my car, what brake pads are best suited for the Skyline R34 GTT? If the stock ones are the best, what type are they? Or does anyone know a good and trust worthy mechanic?

Thanks so much!

there are plenty of brake pads suitable for your skyline. which are best, or at least suitable for you depends on what you use your car for. if you go to track days then you would want something better than if you are simply using it as a daily driver.

as for the boost gauge, have you checked to make sure that the vaccum line is intact? other than that, do a search on here for a thread about how to fix it. if you aren't comfortable with doing the work yourself you could print out the instructions and take them to an auto electrician, or anyone that does electrical repairs for that matter, and have them do it for you.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
