On saturday night I started my car and was going to go towards orange grove macca's I heard this clunking noise in the engine bay. I called NRMA to see if they could help. Finally they had arrived and checked the engine and said that maybe the injectors were f$*ked so no help from him as he could not pinpoint the problem. On the monday I had my car towed to the workshop where it had been serviced on the saturday morning. They got back to me yesterday and told me that number 4 piston was f**ked. I asked why this has happened they told me that a piece of metal had gone through the inside intercooler piping and straight into the piston and at this stage they would have to strip the engine and fix it but I won't get it back untill middle of january :):(

Does anyone know of good workshops that know how to work on skylines because I'm wanting it fixed asap:D :P

C&V Performance in Waterloo should be able to look after you...

Give them a call on 9690-2000, and ask to speak to "Big Con"... Tell him Andrew Ho referred you and they'll look after you... Explain your predicament, and see if they can fast-track the job for you...

Is that your car in your avatar? Looks beautiful! Got any larger pics?

Yes, they are always busy, that's why I said to drop my name :P

I called on Monday midday, and told them I needed a clutch fitted, and they said to bring it down straight away, and they'll do it for me :)

They then did a service for me on the spot when I asked them to later in the week...

It's all about who you know :)

Frankie - you had me there for a minute Bro !

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
