Thought there might be a keen talented mechanic surfing this forum, or someone here might know a mechanic suitable.

Must be honest, talented and organised and not talk too much. Prefer non smoker and hard worker who reads Zoom magazines.

NO you don't have to work on 300ZX's too much, we specialise in Nissans and do heaps of GTR's and GTS-T's. You can play Skylines all day 5 or 6 days a week. Get to Play Grand Turismo for real.

We do minor service to full engine rebuilds with lots of mods etc. See our site for more info.

Pay is better than currently on. Guaranteed to learn lots and have a rewarding challenging job. Experience with turbo's and performance cars preferred but not essential. Minimum 4th year apprentice but prefer fully qualified. :thankyou:

What about a mature aged apprentice ?? :)

Seriously, a good, enthusiastic, keen, mechanic with the right attitude will learn heaps and go far in the performance and modified world working at UAS.

If you a sick of endless oil changes and brake pad changes - give John a call - ECU upgrades, Turbo changes, Dyno Tuning - not just your average workshop....

And the challenge is to get my car into the 11s at WSID, 1:5x at EC and sub 1:10 at wakefield

Non smoker, read zoom mag and have worked as T/A Mechanic ( for toyota dealership) for a short time. No quals, but been workin on cars since i was 13. Keen and hard worker, and quick to learn/pick up new things.....good at trouble shooting. Testing and building of engines/ components is an interest of mine...I can weld and am good at what i do(with cars) also have own tools.....0400039899......call if i sound like i fit the bill, thanks...Jason

I have been interviewing heaps and some are talkers unfortunatley. Some with lots of papers and qualifications but end up not being suitable. I have other mechs that are more layed back with little to no references and end up being stars. I am sure there are some people who are better mechs because thay are enthusiasts and INTERESTED than qualified mechs that don't care or lack talent. Confidence is a good thing but Bull shyting about what they can do and have done bla bla.

V8skylineman I have sent you a PM as you sound dangerous in a good way and possibilities, can't you buy a mechanics licence, and I think it is a bit far to come to work each day?

Benm and others out there you must know of good mechs?

if only this job came up 10-12 months ago, i was ready to move to the mainland then for work. there is next to no performance workshops down here. apprentice mechs do oil/filter changes for 5 years and don't learn shit. which is why i refused to become one here.

Tasmania the unlucky state!

don't have any good cheap RB25DETs up there do u? been trying to source a reasonably priced one for ages, that water pump i bought off u guys last year didn't end up being the problem, now i need a new engine!

Benm and others out there you must know of good mechs?
rofl, I live out in the West, I have to bring my car all the way to UAS because no 1 out here understands Imports.

have been in the game for 7 years full time was forman at hymix industries

built CA18DET RB20 26 DET DETT 2J etc etc , am also a fitter and welder tig mig arc

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
