Im from Sydney and dont know too many places, but Centreline at Thomastown are really switched on.

They did wonders with my car just from going through what was already on the car....definitely worth a phone call to get a feel for them...but they are very switched on and wont automatically start to try and sell yoou $3,000 worth of Jap coil over as a cure for any problem.

Chris is the gu to speak to , and from what i hear/read they are slowly becvoming somewhat of an unofficial SAU suspension workshop and plenty of SAU-Vic guys go there. I dotn recommend places unless im confident they both know what they are on about and dotn rip ppl off, two very important things.

I had a wheel allignment checked by Pedders. All in all one very expensive excercise. Said nothing was wrong with my car, and charged me $110 for the privlige. Nice blokes there, but price seems bit rich. Been told you can expect to pay double by going to there.

But i didnt trust my car with franchises such as beaurepairs or kmart tyre auto. They just seem to be a bunch of apprentices working there, and too many horror stories.

I have heard good stories about traction in Rowville.

Never been or heard of centerline but its a lot closer to me than Rowville.

And I can understand the comment about a$$holes trying to sell $3,000 coil overs as a solution to a problem.

Where i used to take my car to, they put my car up on the hoist and the front strut fell out.

They said that it was unfixable and I would need new coil overs in the front and wou;ld be a good idea to do the rears at the same time.

I was a little apprehensive to give the go ahead so I took it elsewhere for a second opinion.

The problem? Strut top rubber had shit itself, bought a new pair for about $200 and all is fine.

Far cry from a new set of coil overs!

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
