There is Joviant in brookvale and Envy Imports do some work.

I haven't done any modifications and haven't heard any gossip about the above two.

Do you own the silver R34 that frequents manly? I also see from time to time a yellow R34 on warringah Rd.

How about setting up a homework station somewhere on the northern beaches where you do assignments for free? =)

I've got a compiler I have to modify and get working by friday as well as a speech system to make room reservations over the phone (using a computer operator with voice recognition).

Anyone want to help?

I remember my Uni days .... well most of them anyway. I was mostly at the Uni bar !!

Good luck with the homework dood ! Wish I could help, but I've forgotten all that stuff - I only know about Crank Angle Sensors, TEIN Coil overs, Hybrid Turbos, Wastgates, Blow Off valves, etc (all the stuff they never taught at Unis - Damn)

Joviant are good guys and Brett (the guy who owns the joint) is a cluey character for Skylines. Hell all nissans actually.

As for his car, HOLY SHIT. its a bloody monster. Been for several rides in it a different stages of the rebuild and tune. Has over 450Kw at the wheels with a stupid torque figure.

Went for blast in his.....got back in my 255Kw GTR and it felt like a Golf or something...

Bribe, sell your wife, but get a ride in that car...

Its awesome!

He tuned my GTR and my old GTIR and I've seen and been in heaps of cars he's worked on. First rate work from what I've seen.

I take my car there for servicing.

Sebaz, you overtook me on griffin rd one night a few weeks after I was putting along the south curl curl beachfront. You turned left into Abbott rd at the round about.

I was the slow silver skyline holding you up - didn't notice you until you overtook.

Joviant is at a round about in Brookvale.

I think its in the same street as st vincents. Envy imports had their workshop nearly opposite vinnies but have apparently moved since I bought my car.

If your heading south on pittwater rd, turn left just before the bus station (vinnies is on one side of this corner and the bus station is on the other). After turning left go staight until you hit the round about - this is where Joviant is (from memory): on top of the round about.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
