My god. If they had left the windows open in my car i would have refused to pay them, and on top of that i would have taken them to court to replace the ruined interior. I feel for you.

Thumbs up to import parts Canberra, had a timing belt service done by them, and have to say provided the best service by far out of any shop ive been to in Canberra.

Can anyone recommend a good workshop to take my VY Commodore to? It needs the cooling system checked properly, there is a problem where the temperatures changes erratically. I've taken it to my normal mechanic who usually only changes my gearbox oil, they can't find what's wrong with it and I don't want to pay them hours more labour. There are 3 'Natrad' workshops in Canberra, has anyone had any experience with these guys?

I ended up leaving it with my normal mechanic for a new radiator, didn't want to risk driving it home on a hot day to change the radiator myself. Costly, but even more costly if I drove it home and cracked the head gasket or something.

Cheers for the recommendations guys!

went to Woden Tyre and exhaust because my rear wheels studs were screwed was charged $290 for replacing just the rears.Took my car in and told me i come back after 2 hours then i came back to be told wont be able to take my car back home because they didnt have any studs left how inconviencing you would think that they check for parts before accepting jobs.Arrived next day to a $315 bill, they did a good job but that just overpriced imo.

Post in here and ask first and someone will give you the lattest on the shop.

Strange you should mention that shop. Was bagging it today with a mate.

A good shop will book it in when they get the parts in or get the parts the same day.

Seems that recommendations change pretty quick.

I need a full tune on my R32 GTR.That is, throttle adjustments, timing (CAS has been out), chekc O2 sensors, AFM working OK etc.

Someone that knows R32 GTRs.

I don't have a lot of cash, so I want a good job at a good price.

Im in Belco. Any suggestions?

I don't think they change much at all. Everyone has their own opinion and the range of shops hasn't really changed.

Suggest you talk to some of the usual suspects listed in here in terms of workshop and see who you feel most comfortable with.

Having a 32 GTR and "I don't have a lot of cash" not really something that goes well together :)

Once heard someone say you need to be able to afford 2 GTR's to own one

Whats your ECU? can help with who you choose locally.

$1200 + for full tune starting from scratch.

ESP, Trojan, Autotech and Ultimate tunes are your main local Skyline Tuners.

I perfer Glen at ESP and I have a Haltech.

My ECU is stock, but has a flashed JDM chip (stage 3 or soemthing on a sticker on it), mods are steel wheel ball bearing turbos, cat back, HKS pods (which Id prefer to ditch for apexi suction but they are too expensive even 2nd hand).

Waas 176kw ATW

I do have a Power FC with boost controller brand new sitting in a box though.....

Would consdier towing it to Sydney for the right mechanic...

Im getting my GTR tuned by Ult tunes early Jan. Ill let you know how it goes when it does get done... expecting probably 330 ish around that mark. But im going to get a very safe tune. 1 Engine rebuild is enough for me lol....

You can pretty much take you pick from anywhere with powerfc. I have heard good things about glenn at ESP and Autotech in hume for local stuff.

I got my nistune done by jez on the central coast, bloke is deadset legend and knows his way around any skylines. Pretty sure it cost me around $700-800 for my full tune including setting up the boost control, checking the CAS/timing and everything.

I might add that last year i got my GTR dynod at autotech and it pulled 215KW as stock on 12psi. Before it went kaput.... my tune is costing $570 including the ECU install. i don't know if thats Ult tunes standard rate though as ive just spent close to 18k there....

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
