wheel alignment for my R33, where do i go?

[05YKO_r33]

I was wondering if you guys know of anywhere on the northside to go for a wheel alignment on my R33 it has the Hicas and didn't know if this would cause problems for most places?

i did a search and i found that some people recomended bob jane at toombul?

I appreciate any input anyone has that has had a wheel alignment at a particular shop. how much did it cost also...

Cheers,

Danno.

Yeah I don't think it's anything special, any decent wheel place should do it.

BobJane at Toombul are tops!

I highly recommend them.

Go to Squizz - he is good with a mallet.

Not only will you get awesome camber, but he will bash out ur hicas for u.

Bob Jane is good

u need somewhere that does 4wheel alignments otherwise u wasting your money

i goto nissan at wooloongabba

Bob Jane cannot do HICAS properly. Our riceline is testament to this, on two seperate occasions.

Goto Fulcrum.

There are only 2 places you can trust to do a perfect job every time, they are:

Fulcrum Suspensions (talk to Barry)

46 Webster Road,

STAFFORD 4053, Queensland, Australia

Ph: 3356 6733

Leda Suspension Services (talk to Bruce)

Unit 5, Cnr Johnstone Rd & Belconnen Crs Brendale QLD 4500

ph: (07) 3205 3165

Cost @95.00 for a 4 wheel alignment.

nissan can do 4 wheel alignments for hicas

[krawler]

Never tried them so I cant comment Spooks, but I can say Bob Jane _CANT_ do it. They claim to be able to do 4WS, but HICAS is different to the Honda-style 4WS and they get confuddled I think. Fulcrum explained it all properly, but I forgot all the terminology they used. And besides, the words were big and scary.

[Spook's_Skyline]

i had plenty of places that were keen to take my cash to do it

they were all 2 wheel alignment places

[Silver'sR33]

dammit I got one done on the weekend and didn't even think about the 4ws! why would the HICAS need aligning though, they only move a tiny amount. Wouldn't diagnostic mode take care of this? if they were out of alignment wouldn't the HICAS light be on?

I just leave the rear alone. If the light comes on I get Fulcrum to do it. Bob Jane can do the front but they should not be let near the HICAS!!

I use Quickfit at Yerongpilly...

They do the 4, they also do alot of Club work incl scrutineering and suspension set up so they know what they are doing, well the 1 bloke I let do it does!!!

Ask for Jason if that is your side of town. I drive from Aspley to there to get it done...

[Col-GTSX]

I dont have hicas so im good.....

HAHAHAHAHA

[AzzurrA]

I'm booked into Fulcrum tomorrow, for a 4 wheel alignment and balance... as i'm not happy with the job that Bob Jane did about 1000km ago... i'll let you know how it goes... (Caution, they're rather expensive... got quoted $120 for just the above)

[Spook's_Skyline]

yer, at least it will be done right though;
