buy your own parts from say nengun / rhdjapan / justjap etc etc and then get your mechanic to put them in, save yourself alot of $$

might take 2 or 3 weeks for parts to arrive but damn you can save alot of $$

Have a quick search through the Vic section - searching with "workshops".

You'll soon work out who the common ones that people use are, and those that generally are places you steer clear of.

Or you could also read the Sticky Thread in this section that has Workshops listed that most SAU people use and trust... The workshops that don't make it in there, I wouldn't be using personally.

That drift sales group is a bit of a lol, ethics people are talking crap, time wasters or just fan boys.

I've asked a few people about parts they're 'selling' and it goes no where, same with people who are apparently after parts.

But yeah I saw that handwritten 'invoice' too haha, good gags. Curious too as to what this Nismo performance center is haha.

This one? I lold hard.

Hahaha yeah

Yeah they are hopeless, I just left they just troll the page usually

Is this the place in thomastown? If so it's the same one that was on sunshine ave. Without getting into too much detail, i highly recommend that nobody takes their car to Freddy.

This, however there are people that are strong unaware of Freddy still and still take cars there

$500 for a wheel alignment and $700 for a catch can? That the piece of paper says $7000 owing is a bit concerning...means someone has actually paid for most of this if the paper is legit?

lol @ stage 2 anything, f**k off with the NFS Underground shit.

LOL worst

then the price for turbo is only $1750 which is reasonable if it's a Garrett or similar

Yeah lol. Love the notes on the side listing all the "free" shit. It's weird that some of the stuff is reasonably priced, others are simply ridiculous.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
