i could possibly get one done at work. if u want to book it in. but would probably take it somewhere more a long the lines of tyrepower, wheelworx. as we dont have the specs for the stagea, but i would be able to do the research and organise something i am sure

I use Pedders at ridgehaven. They do great work. They charge $110 for 4 wheel alignment but over the years I have learnt that you get what you pay for. I recently took my M35 to a tyrepower twice and got the worse job I've ever had! Only charged $60 but also chewed out the inside of all 4 tyres by setting it up with a shitload of toe for some unknown reason.

So I went back to Pedders and now all good again. Should have stuck with Pedders from the get go like I usually do but tyrepower are closer for me, never again.

$110? My local wanted $165!!!

Ah well, getting it done by NAS this time, see how we go. Always been happy with Pedders in the past, but costs just added up this time because I wanted them to fit some other stuff.

Good advice. I think when you find somewhere you can trust you should stick with them.

Does anyone know where I can find the factory alignment specs? I'm trying out a new guy & so far seems very particular, but he wants the factory specs as a baseline to modify.

Last alignment was too recent ago (2000km) to tell from tyre wear yet, & I don't really want to ruin a set of treads just for trial & error.

thanks for the help guys love the feedback.

might go down to pedders and give them a go

anyone know if the rears can be adjusted so you dont get inner Tyre wear?

or if you have to get adjustable camber arms?

thanks mat

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
