Hi All, 
Looking at purchasing a R32 GTR that is located in Perth and want to organise a pre-purchase inspection as i'm in Melbourne
Any recommendations on places to take it to?
Cheers
Steve
 
Josh from Galvsport was useful.
Otherwise I've used State Roads before they pretty good too, they measured paint depth for crash repairs and read the OBD.
(OBD not helpful for Skylines though).

No worries. My entire car was built by Galvsport (well the first part). I still took it to them, they provided useful feedback and the car was as well put together and as good of condition as they said.

I'm sure someone in Perth could find you an alternate if you wanted a second option. [emoji16]

Nice! I spoke to Josh, he was very helpful. Will most likely get them to do the check

Have you heard of C-Red Tuning in Perth?

I have. But that's it. They've been around for a long time (like 15 years or more). 

@Pal any chance you can weigh in here?

I can vouch for C-Red, Mark is a great Mechanic, you'll get nothing but honesty from the boys there.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
