Hi,

I live in Sydney, and am currently actively looking for a R34 GT-T (see my sig for more info)

I think I may have found one, and was hoping one of you could recommend a workshop I could take it to for a thorough mechanical check (with a written report). Of course, I'd be willing to pay for the service but that's not the main point here.

Basically, what I am asking is, who (as in what workshop) would you trust to check your potential purchase before you forked over a large amount of $$$.

Places like Powerplay come to my mind straight away, so tell me what you think of them, or perhaps suggest other places?

On a final note, is NRMA a waste of money? (I am thinking yes from what I read and hear, but please confirm).

Any help / advice you can give me as to where to take the car would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

UAS (www.nismo.com.au)

Hillsmotorsport (good luck trying to ring them)

NRMA are good. Although they don't specialise in Skylines as UAS / Hills do, all cars have essentially the same things to run as one another, and they do have "specialists" who check cars all day everyday.

I have always used BD4s in Gladesville and they have done a great job everytime. They are also official Australian distributors for HKS and have HKS certified mechanics.

When I bought my baby, the first thing I did was take it to them for a service and they were extremely helpfull and performed a detailed inspection. Quoted prices for repairs were accurate and they are always communicating with you if something is wrong or they require to do further work due to an unforseen problem.

Speak to George and see what they can do for you. http://www.bd4s.com.au

I haven't had any experience with UAS service center and have only bought parts from them, but they do specialise in nissan imports.

Hope it all works out

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

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

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
