So my R32 GTS-T has just ticked over 200,000 k's. Is Trojan still considered the best place to go to have the timing belt and water pump changed?

From personal experience, I would say Yes. :yes:

hi guys I'm new to this forum. and very new to owning a beautiful series 2 Gtst R33. which by the way Dickson pits WHAT A JOKE. anyway a mate of mine said if i want any work done go and see ESP (Extreme Street Performance) in Queanbeyan. any thoughts on these guys and the work they do?? cause once i get the car into my name i plan on giving him some TLC and getting some half decent power out of my beast.

Welcome to the light. Dickson can be a bit of a pain at times but we all gotta experience that. There are a few shops around where people like to take their car. I personally take mine to Trojan, a skyline specialist out in Mitchell.

Welcome to the Skyline game ;)

They are being more then a bit of a pain with me. have you ever heard them say to anyone rectify your engine tune??? yea i know trojan only because my car 10 years ago when it came into AUS got taken to them for a full rebuild apart from rods. but when i went to see john to get some information about my car he just seemed a bit bland with me, maybe i just ask the wrong questions but yea just didn't get the best vibes which is a shame cause I've seen some of their work apart from my car and they are very good. one thing that also annoys me is no matter who you go to they all say, that persons Dyno is crap mine is the best for F$%# sake can't someone just be honest about their Dyno haha.

and just last night my car on the drive home from ESP decided that its AFM would blow out on me so now i can't even drive my car :( 3 months I've owned it.....

John can come across a bit like that over the phone. But is truly a great guy to speak to in person. He's honest and won't stuff you around. He's got a very good rep here in Canberra. He may charge a bit, but remember.. you're paying for quality with John. But, in saying that.. I don't really call John unless I am booking in / wanting to buy something from him. but when I do call for his opinion and he's always good on the phone, but yeah.. don't take it personally :)

My supra was tuned with ESP for years. My gtr has been returned by ESP and is a million times better. Most general servicing I do myself. ESP replaced my clutch recently as well. I've never had an issue with they boys there.

I've bought things from Trojan and know a lot of people that have been there without any issues. Really both shops are fine depending on what side of town you're on.

Hi all,

It looks like both Trojan and Import Parts and Mechanical are recommended places to take a Skyline.

Ive an R33 (here's my newbie thread http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462755-first-r33-gts-t/)and want her converted to a manual when I re-locate to the ACT in a couple of months.

Is there anywhere else around the ACT that people recommend/have experience w/ in doing the manual conversion?

Cheers,

Shaun.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
