Hi there guys and gals,

If you're in need of tyres for your beloved beast please give Charlie a call @ Bob Jane in Belco, he is a close friend of mine and is now the new manager there.

Just tell him that you're from the SkylinesAustralia forums and that I(Brad) sent you.

Cheers,

Brad

As long as they don't scratch my wheels this time.....or take 4 times longer than they quoted......

Hopefully these problems resolved under the new mgmt.

Charlie took over the role of manager the week before last, so I'm sure he'll be pulling his staff into line pretty quickly.....

Is there any kind of discount or "mates rates" involved with this recomendation or is it purely an advertisment?  

I ask because I need new 19 inch rubber and I'm looking for a good price.

Hey there Stevie,

Definately not purely advertisment :-)

PM me to get my mob number when you're ready to go in and I'll give him a buzz and let him know you're coming....

I spoke to him today and he'll said that he'll do his best to look after us.

Being the new manager is hard for him because he's already starting off with a bad rep which he's trying to fix, so I told him that we'd try to support him as best we could..

Hey Brad, do you know if they stock semi-slicks? Alternately anyone selling some second hand?

Hey there Camma,

If you can get size, preffered brand and other relevant details in regards to what you want I can give him a call or alternatively you can call him on 62532642(ask for Charlie), just tell him the I told you to call. If he doesn't have them, he'll definately try and source them for you.

Or you can try Northwest Tyres in Fyshwick for second handies.

Cheers,

Brad

Excellent. Size would be 205 to 225's in 16". Preferred brand not too concerned but would prefer something in Bridgestone RE55's, Dunlop DO2G's or even some Falken Azenis.

Thanks.

Hey there Glenn,

I've just spoken to Charlie and he said that he's got a Falken in stock, and when you get a chance if you can go in and they can fit it up for you to see if you like them.

Otherwise they can probably order in what you're after.

He didn't have a definate price(for the Falkens) but he said it'll probably be a bit over $200

When you go in make sure that you ask for Charlie and tell him that I sent you.

Cheers,

Brad

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
