lol 8" tip dude thats way to big hehe

i got a quote off them for my line for a dump pipe and cat and they were the cheapest however... their quote was for a 3" dump pipe which is fine but the cat was just a standard one. I ended up buying the high flow cat and 3" dump pipe off bambtl on the forums. I am getting powertone in fyswick to hook it up :D so they seem good on prices but not sure about service

we urgently required some work done on staceys race car 1 day before a meeting. The guys there were A class and done a top job and it was at a really low cost. Those guys are the sh1t when it comes to quality work, top service and a good price.

I've posted this before, but I'll mention it again.

Now I know that a few people have been there and had good work done, so it's possible that they have had a change of ownership since I had my car there....

I had some intercooler pipework done there, only needed 2 pipes about 2 feet long with two bends in each welded up.

They charged me $400... Plus the weld joins had 3 leaks in them.... Plus there was an extra 13km on the tachometer.... Plus the clutch was slipping when I picked it up...

I don't think I'd go back there again.

Some places might be the cheapest, but it might be worth paying an extra 5-10% to a shop you can trust.

I've been to Powertone twice now and I'll go back there again without hessitation.

I've heard good and bad about City Exhaust-mostly good,though.F'rinstance,two.06L(Stacey and Paul)have a very serious car that they wouldn't let just anyone touch-if C.E. is good enough for them,they should be good enough for all of us!Having said that, Jay95R33's tale made me feel more cautious!As I work in Fyshwick,I had Powertone organise my ride to get quietened:I just supplied the cat'(sourced from AVO in Melb'),told 'em what I expected,and the finished job came out AWESOME.Greta flow,very little noise(I'm trying to keep the funbusters away...),and great looks!I'd recommend them!

Powertone have a very good reputation and have been around for a long time.

Im interested in this thread we are taking a serious car to City Exhaust in the next week or so. Jay95R33's comments are a little scary though. The car in question is an SR20DET powered 1200 ute and my mate has spent alot of time (and money) getting the car right. Hope they do the same kind of job as Stacey and Paul have said.

in saying that we hung around while work was being done, so no joy rides or inflated labour charges.Jakes performance also rang them for us and told them too look after us (if that counts for anything).

Probably does count for a bit. I reckon we will be watching the work like a hawk. :Paranoid: We dont have to worry about them driving it, its not registered yet. These days it doesnt pay to do a crappy job, too many people know about it very quickly. In saying that I have heard good things and the price is fairly competitive.

a mate of mine works at roadway in belconnen, want me to have a word and see if he can help you out with a good price?

That would be great. Let me know what he says. It will be from the turbo back on a Datsun 1200 ute. Note the ute is not running or registered... yet.

Roadway in Belco did a great job on my old liberty. Even helped me out free of charge for two separate incidents afterhand. Once to repair a crack that developed because of the lateral movement of a boxer engine and secondly to quieten it down after being defected. Would highly recommend them.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
