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

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!

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.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
