Hey Guys,

I know that a thread has been put up about mechanics which are recommended in Adelaide. But I am just wondering if there are any V35 owners out there who have found a good mechanic which has had some experience with a V35.

The previous owner used to take the car to Nissan, but I have found them to be plain rude and not really willing to listen to us in how the car is running.

I would like to thank whoever it was on here that recommended MV Automatics in Blackwood, they were fantastic and got my car back to me the same day. I can't recommend their services enough. Apart from their courtesy car which was a little terrifying :wacko:

I am looking for someone who can do a general tune up and service on the car with a general check over to make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Also, we are new Skyline owners so would love to meet some other like minded Skyline lovers. Any suggestions / clubs etc?

:thanks:

I don't dare take my V35 to any mechanic - I do it all myself :D

and yes, Nissan are plain old bad sports when it comes to servicing our grey imports - despite our cars being almost identical to the 350Z!

And I have heard good things about this SAU:SA club :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
