Hey all,

So my r34 gtt just hit 99ks and its time to change the timing belt and water pump etc...

Can anyone recommend me to a good mechanic that they take their skyline to in the western suburbs.

DONT just say any mechanic can do it, because yeah any mechanic can do it but how many skylines have they worked on previously? are they confident? I know some workshops ask what car it is over the phone and you can hear the hesitation in their voice.

Plus I got the car not long ago and I havent really taken it anywhere yet so it would be good to find a mechanic i can start taking my car to.

I live around Wentworthville area, so any trusted mechanics that someone has been to and can recommend would be a great help, I dont mind travelling a bit if its worth it.

Yes I have searched topics, alot of them are out of date. Any help is appreciated!

Is Rydalmere close enough perhaps?

JapLink at 21-23 Bridge St Rydalmere.

Todd has 2 Japanese technicians experienced in RBs, EVOs, RXs etc.

One of our Execs used them a fortnight ago praising their service, communication and price.

That's just the thing, it isn't a difficult job. I did mine in my driveway with basic hand tools and a pulley puller :laugh:

Many people on SAU go to Unigroup with their Skylines, it's also just around the corner from you at Girraween!

Thanks for all the help guys.

I have heard many good things about unigroup.. one day i was driving down the highway and this old rust bucket hilux comes screaming past me i was so shocked.... :wacko: pulled up to him next to the lights and had a chat with him he said it had a worked sr20 in it with a big garrett running 20psi, he said he had it built at uni group engineering. It sounded awesome!! ultimate sleeper.

Havent heard much about jap link might check them out.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
