I do get all of my work done at PERFORMANCE GARAGE in phillip by danny he knows his cars thats for sure no job too big or too small, servicing to engine conversions.

have to agree, Danny has done a fair bit of work on my 200 and he's always helpful, honest and very competively priced.

Highly recomend: 0437603885

While I'm replacing my Turbo and putting my Clutch & Brake pedal in I decided to do a bit of maintenance work on the old RB25. While pulling the intake piping apart, I've managed to split quite a few hoses both for oil and intake. Who knows a good place to go to get replacement pipes & so on? I know autobarn have some silicon hoses for the intake, but I was thinking more for the oil lines. Otherwise I'll just go to Nissan and get the factory ones.

do you know the address at all? can't seem to find them online or in the yellow pages..

I know I sound like a broken record at times on here - But i can't recommend Marc, Stewie and the boys down at Belconnen Discount Tyre Service enough. Sure my car isn't on time - but they get things done properly and keep me informed all the way.

Seriously.

I'd recommend them for anything upto performance tuning/turbo work - even then, i'd probably give them a go.

I concur, they're doing my gearbox conversion for me. It's a bit of a tricky swap but they're still willing to give it a go. It helps that Marc has a manual Stagea already to compare with.

Thx for the tip about Goodyear tyres in Belco, have taken the car there before, but didn't know they specialised in servicing imports to. Very happy with their other work, so may book in the car to get servicing done, as im on the northside as well.

Well the owner has had 2 Stageas now and also an ATESSA Bluebird. I don't know if they specialise in them, but they're certainly getting to know them.

The boys are starting to know them, quite a few skylines are going through there.

I've been looking for a good deal on Turbos for my GTR, so I called COOMA DIESEL and unfortunately had to talk to a very rude, sarcastic woman who not only wouldn't give me even a $50 discount on 2 X $1,500 turbos, but wouldn't even TELL ME WHAT THE PART WAS!!!! unless I agreed to purchase them. I would definately recommend that everyone on this forum stay away from this place.

If anyone knows where to get a good deal on turbos I would love to know. I'm looking for ones around the 300-350 hp mark.

Sadly over the weekend i put a nice big scratch and took a chunk of paint off my front bar and decided it was time to get it resprayed (paint is crackling at the top of it etc... needs some TLC.) i'm not looking to do the whole car, just the bar. Anyone know of a good place to take it?

whatever your decision is DO NOT go to a place in Fyshwick that starts with N, contains a part of it's name that you put in your hair and is 6 letters long... I only just realised that in certain sunlight the bit's I had re-sprayed didn’t even look black almost a grey :dry:

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
