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!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
