Hey everyone, just wanted to plug a local business in my area for going above and beyond the call of duty. I needed some prices on getting some braided lines made up to suit the new turbo. Not only did this guy go out if his way after business hours to come to my house to see what I needed, but he was also a couple of hundred dollars cheaper on the total job.

They are:

Bayside Hose and Fittings.

07 3286 9354. Located at Unit 1, 57-63 Shore Street Cleveland.

He has been in the industry for 20 years doing hoses and fittings. They can do anything from brake lines to fuel lines and much more.

This post is directed to praise any local businesses you may have had work done by or bought something from. Let everyone know who these businesses are, what services they provide and what you liked about them the most.

DJ Sivyer Mechanical 3290 2967 if you want to book something in tho, ring him about a week before, sometimes he gets rather booked up.

Pretty much the same as above, just went out of his way to help. Obviously he wont be able to do that for everyone but the point is, if he has too he can. Its not a flat no.

great stuff.. I actually need some lines fairly soon to hook my RB25 turbo up (for a stop-gap till I get a larger one). Think I will be giving them a call. Do they have a good knowledge of RB engines - e.g. can I just go "I want a water line for rb25 turbo onto rb20 block" and they'll know what to send me? :cheers:

Well I have only just started dealing with him but I'm sure he would have no trouble. I wasn't sure what thread was on my GT25 oil supply line but he is going to try to find out.

You pretty much just have to tell him the width of the banjo fitting and give him the lines and he can modify your existing RB20 lines to suit the 25 turbo.

That's what I am getting done.

The oil supply banjo to the block is being removed and put onto a braided teflon flexible line and the two water lines are just being cut back about 15 cm and silver soldered teflon braided lines about 2 inches longer and putting on the 14mm banjo heads as opposed to the 17mm standard ones. This means I will be able to move the line easily into position without effort.

He really only services the bayside area but if you are willing to travel, he is a very helpful person.

mmm ..problem is that I need to do it in one day, car on the road the next, it's my only registered car atm. Some good lines allround could be worth it however, as I am starting to lean towards the highflow rb25 idea - then I only do things once.

anyhow, offtopic .. sorry!

Does he cut phat beats whilst he fixes your car? :)

LoL, kinda... for a work shop hes got the best radio set up I've ever seen!

Also for tiles, carpet, timber floors etc, go to Oztop Crn Compton Rd, and Allgas St.

Ask for me, I'll do what I can, but if you want cheap s hit tiles, dont bother, we just dont have them.

Just got my suspension done at Fulcrum Suspensions STAFFORD.

I also bought all the bushes from them as well. Even some bushes I didn't need cause I had fully adjustable pillowball type arms in.

They were more then happy taking them back

I can tell you that these guys are real professional's - very happy!!!!

I gave them all the settings for alignment front and rear - caster, camber, toe in - etc

When I got the car back, all I can say is perfect!!! Dead straight steering wheel and car goes straight, not like some of the alignments I got done before.

Also got a full report with all the setting on a print out.

Barry was the guy I dealt with there and you couldn't ask for better advice or service.

My local exhaust shop guy is a bloody legend. Check out Vaughn over at MUFFLERPRO Seventeen Mile Rocks (Western Suburbs).. this guy runs a very honest and friendly operation.

The crew down there are heros and deserve trophies some of the stuff they have acheived :(

These guys charge very very reasonably for the work they do as well, and your more than welcome to come in and have a look under the hoist and see whats going on.. theres no attitude problems about having a look at whats going on in the workshop.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
