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:

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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
