not sure about the Hornsby area for mechanical work but if you wanted to right person to do the job surely you're prepared to travel within sydney?

i have no issue with travelling, however for convenience (i work in hornsby) I thought there might be a decent workshop around here considering how many mechanics there are located around here...

I went out to Advan on the weekend, they look very professional out there...

I also went to powerplay, (which is close to my house) how do they rate?

I will look into unique too.

thanks for the fast replies fellas.

Haven't used em but QuickFit in horsnby look like they are a very busy mob.

I went in there once and noticed a VL with a custom intercooler kit ( i assume they did) and it looked the goods!

As far as tuning goes, they like their autronics. Might be worth a call anyway.

fair enough :D

were you the guy who came to powerplay wanting the oil cooler???

no, i came in looking for an apillar gauge holder (oops sorry that was two weekends ago not last weekend).

You work there?

I used Quick Fit with my old R31 GTSX, they are very good with ECUs and tuning, actually they are the NSW AUtronic Agent and is a recognised and repsected tuner. That and they do plenty of custom engine transplants so mechanical/electrical things dont scare them.

Steve is definitely worth a try, or at least a conversation to see if he is the workshop for you

yeh I remember you coming in now..

yeh I work there part time

well in that case, I left a message that same afternoon on your phone requesting to be booked in for a service and the install of the parts i mentioned, left both of my numbers and never got a call back (two weeks ago). my phone is always on and with me so I am sure i never got a call back. I did however get really good service (joanne I think it was) and advice when i was in store. Might want to make sure there is some quality control with return calls as it lots you a few hundred dollars worth of business (I decided if they cant call me back they dont want my business). Not having a beef, just letting you know for future customers sake.

cheers

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
