Hi guys, i have searched but found nothing recent, im looking for someone to do a front and rear wheel alignment on my gtr, who is good? im in the northern suburbs but will travel if its worth it. Im not after the cheapest i want the best, someone that knows what they are doing.

After a recent experience i will NEVER use PEDDERS SALISBURY ever again.

Any help appreciated

thanks

Two places I've used in the past are Bridgestone on Gouger Street, and Blackwood Tyrepower.

Both listened to what I wanted rather than alligned to what they wanted.

Bridgestone also adjusted my camber kit and castor rods to the specs I wanted. It did cost more, but I was happy to pay for a result I was happy with. This was a few years ago, so not sure if the same people still run them.

Adelaide radial tyre in holden hill is the goods dude

This

Stay away from tyre power parafeild took 3 hours to allign my gtst with adjustable arms took exhaust off n wheels off n on ect very slow and shitty allignment

Tyrepower Blackwood if you're in the south, Adelaide Radial Tyre if you're in the north - been to both and both have done excellent alignments

-D

+1 for Adelaide Radial. They are a great bunch, always walked away satisfied.

+1 for SA Motorsport Tyres on Magill Rd.

very professional, know their stuff regarding alignment settings, and do a lot of motorsports setups. they went to the effort of spending time aligning very exactly; the most accurate alignment ive ever had done, perfect to the hundredth of degree/mm (!) (coilovers, camber arms and toe arms).

reasonably priced, friendly and provide good advice.

I have used Bob Jane's on Main North Road in prospect. They have always done good by me and very friendly staff who listen and inform you of what is happening. Clint is the guy there that does wheel alignments and he is a top bloke and very good at it :D

X2 for clint, will talk your ear off but damn good guy.

ray the owner is also a champ.

Thanks for all input guys, much appreciated. Car ended up getting a not so good report card, couldnt be aligned properly due to slightly bent arms or knuckles all round, so gotta find another lot of knuckles, this also gives me the excuse to buy all new adjustable arms :yes:

where did you go Danny?

I wanted to go to adelaide radial tyre after all the responses here, but i couldnt get in on the only day i could manage to get time off work. pedders at ridgehaven near tea tree plaza were recommended to me by a few other people, and was convenient for me so i tried there.. He apparently works on some drift cars and gets a few jdm vehicles through there. He seemed to know what he was talking about, explained things really well and charged me bugger all because it couldnt be aligned properly. I was happy with the service even though it was a bad result.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
