Has anybody found a place in the ACT that actually knows how to properly wheel align a Skyline?

I made the mistake of taking mine to BoB F**king Jane F**king Tmart (yes, yes I know, but I had to get it done in a hurray before driving to Sydney, and they were the only ones that didn't seem to have any customers :boohoo: )

Anyways, the car pulls to the left now and they didn't even bother to centre the godamn steering wheel. Don't think I could be bothered going back there, cos even if they did try to fix it, they clearly have no idea what they're doing (I should have realised when they didn't offer me a printout with the alignment specs).

Would be great if someone knows a decent place that's open Saturdays too.

BTW - how many of you still have your HICAS running?

Yeah i took my stagea to pedders and it pulls to the left. i took it back, and they said they didn't know what was wrong, because acdcording to how they'd set it up, it should pull slightly right (to counter road camber) anywho, then they said it might be the tyres because they're a shit brand and have been driven on underinflated for a while from the damage they have (by previous owner) so they gave me a free wheel alighnment when i get new tyres

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
