Where To Get The Stag Serviced?

Howdy,

New to the forums & stagea world so a quick hi! Have a quick question though...

Recently bought a C34 S2 1999 Stagea (I want to marry it btw) and it's due for it's first service, currently at 78,800 - was 72,000 odd when I bought it.

Before this I had a granny spec 1992 Corolla that was handed down to me which would never die & a dream to service but not willing to touch the Stag till I know it inside out & plus don't have a garage or time to do it so no option there.

So, was wondering where in Melbourne (South & Eastern suburbs preferred) is a good place to get the old girl serviced with guys who know Nissans/imports like the back of their hand?

One more thing, I've noticed that if I park the Stag on an incline so the LHS of the car is down compared to the RHS with about 25k's left in the tank it will just not fire. But if I jack the LHS up, the lines seem to get some fuel & start from there... Is there a hole in my tank, vacuum leak, the fuel pickup shifted/not down enough or is this just something I've gotta live with & always leave more juice in the tank?? Kind of annoying seeing as there's a petrol station literally across the road from my street!

Thanks y'all

Cheers

Dave

Hey jai,

Anyone?

Yeah timing belt, full tune + new o2 sensor, 4 new tyres (lots of tread on mine atm but cracking around the outer bead causing some unpleasant movement at higher speeds), wheel alignment, auto trans fluid change and a couple of other minor things.

Does anyone know if JS have moved or liquidated?

Cheers

For Melbourne South East area:

I've found Rob at Sabbadin Auto to be quite honest, competent and helpful.

They've got a dyno there and do some fabrications of exhausts and stuff. I think he specialises in rotary engines and turbo builds.

He's really good at chasing down info and parts which comes in handy when you come up against a less than straight forward problem.

Dave I contacted John (Js auto) they have moved around the corner but after Wat I heard bout JS Autos I don't think I'll be taking my car there anymore.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
