Hi everyone,

I'm about to buy an R32 N/A. I'm just after a good place in Brisbane to get a roadworthy and a service for it. For the first service, i would prefer a place that knows a lot about Skylines...

Preferably on the Southside, but anywhere is ok.

Thanks!

im sure are all good

i got my car checked at chapman and chapman, and they have serviced it a few times

now we take it to nissan

Yeah, I can help out. I work for Midas at Wolloongabba. Don't wory about that though. I would recommend Chapman and Chapman. Andrew is very switched on with all things performance. Can be on the pricey side though. Charlies I wouldn't take my car to though. Personal experience and also a mates. They don't really do the right thing by their customers and will bullcrap to you if you don't know what you are looking at. Motsons are also good, I know them fairly well and they do a pretty good job. Also on the pricey side with some things. I can do your servicing through work and know quite a lot about all of the Skyline series but it's really up to you to try a few places and see how you like them. You may not find your preferred servicer right away but you will eventually. It's your baby and you need to look after it. You don't need to be fed crap form salesman or shops that want to sell you upgrades constantly. What you do need is someone who will look after you car, do the right thing by you, answer all your questions, do a good job, do what you ask them to do and offer good advice.

All I can suggest is to try a few places, see how you like them and decide from there. All of the above are capable of doing the job but whether they do it right by you is what makes the difference.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
