Took my line to Garran for a service and a couple of minor things, Joe & Charlie seem like good blokes. and he loves his 33s :P

I thought of taking it to them - was just wondering whether they would be okay with something like the central locking and alarm etc???????????

Sounds more like a job for an auto electricion. Theres a good bloke in Fyshwick at "Car Care Centre", 3/71 Tennant St. Gave me a hand when my #^$# immobiliser was playing up.

Central locking on the 'line is gooonnne....

The alarm is working okay but I have to use key to actually lock the car.... Any clues people on where I could take it to get fixed?

Cheers and thanks as always....

If it is still under warranty take it back to where you got it installed, they should fix it for free. Else, definate auto elect. job. Tuggers auto elect. are pretty good.

sounds like ur central locking is stuffed, i would take it anywhere that installs alarms (esp BDL fyshwick) and have a new central locking system put in. bout $50-$80 per door.

or even just call BDL tell them the symptoms and they may just tell you to go see an auto elec, but my guess is they can fix it easily themselves

thanks to everyone who replied - I will call BDL and see what they have to say...

I work at Symonston so it is a little difficult for me to take car out to Tuggers - :mad: Fyshwick is a better option for me - or even Belco area where I live.....

Alarm was fitted well before I bought the car - I don't have any paperwork for it so have no idea about warranty etc.....

I will let you know how what happens and how much it cost.... Good to keep that sort of info here on this thread - proves really useful!!!!

:P:P:)

thanks to BDL - all fixed - yep the central locking motor was stuffed!! Driver's door only affected.....Cost $80 - I was so pleased.....

Guy that worked on it said that whoever installed the alarm left a right mess - wires and s... everywhere... (It was done before I bought the car)

Looks like Veilside spotted the car while at BDL... How embarassing - filthy dirty - but today it is a NEW car - hours spent polishing and preening on Saturday.......

Can thoughly recommend BDL - very polite, helpful etc

those jumpy things get rlly trippy after about 10 seconds

hey i was right!!! i said $50-$80 and that BDL would look after you, (gives self pat on the back)

yeah they said it was pretty messed up and all over the place, but wasnt hard to fix, i like your rims too by the way.

im booked in with them next tuesday cause my alarm is playing up, but its all under warranty so it wont cost me anything. had a chat to them aswell about getting some more focals put in and couple subs, but i'll wait for their sale.

also wanted to give a big thuimbs up to mick the owner of everlast in Fyshwick, car was fixed and back on the road in under 48hours. he was extremely proffesional and helpfull and didnt charge me labour to fit the battery and a few other small things as he knew i was strapped for funds.

he has also said he will fix the crack in my bar caused by the tow truck, and then went onto say he would also fix a few other little cracks and chips for me, although he has no obligation too. i am paying to have it resprayed ($200)but he is going to take it over to J-Racing for me to save me the extra trip.

very proffesional service and honestly wanted to do everything he could for me to make sure i was happy.

Good on him, and glad to hear you're having some luck Andrew... these forums are a great way to drum up business for them tho, even if they didn't know you were gonna post your experience with them here.

Grrrr -

Has anyone out there ever used one of those 'dent fix-it' type places, and if so who? :confused:

A car door was opened onto my passenger side, right on the crease. My 'line has a small dent and scratch, just slightly smaller than a five cent piece, but it looks really ugly.

Not happy Jan as apart from a couple of stone chips on bonnet this is the only mark on the entire body!!

:uhh: :uhh:

Guys,

Im new to the Line scene.

Bought a burgundy 33 on saturday. I was booked into EVO for tomorrow to have an SAFC fitted, dynotuned and rego inspected.

But from the sounds of what you all are saying i shouldnt take it in.

Where can i go locally to purchase an SAFC and have it dyno tuned and rego inspected.

Thanks guys!

Oh, and I have waved to a few lines around town!

Paul

hi noony, welcome along! my line is in evo right now getting safc and boost controller put in, i have always taken her to evo and have no complaints about the work they do there, not to mention the good deals i get....dont know why people are complaining about them, but as i said, no complaints from me!

Good to hear something positive about evo for a change. Around a year ago they robbed me blind and f*cked me over so thats where my bad experiance comes from.

I get everything done by Ed at Integra Automotive. Hes recently bought alot of equipment to help him with tuning, and can do either road tunes or dyno tunes and is doing very good jobs for me and alot of other skyline owners. He has good experiance with Power FC's and their air/fuel mapping is similar to the AFC so I dont think itd be too much of a problem for him.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
