Hi all...

I live in Melton and it seems to be the one place you dont want to own a skyline. Although i have seen a few around.

I moved here about 3 months ago from Newcastle and have been pretty much flat out with work since i got here.

My 33 has been in need of a service for a while and Im after any info of where to take it around my area.

Thanks

Hi all...

I live in Melton and it seems to be the one place you dont want to own a skyline.  Although i have seen a few around.

Thanks

for a cheap yet thorough service, i can HIGHLY recommend:

highpoint automotive

obviously located at highpoint shopping centre (maribrynong)

across the road at the end of white street

ph 9318 2076

guy who runs it is Paul and is a friend of the family. he is a very good mechanic and doesn't charge and arm+leg like the more fancied places

obviously if you are after a dyno tune then this is not your place, but for any kind of service or repair, you can't go wrong...

tell him that Warren with the Blue skyline recommended you

:cheers:

when i had my NA 33 i took it to nissan in melton for a full service (im from bacchus marsh), wouldn't really recommend them, i could have done the same job myself.

about to do the next stage for my gtst and will be taking it into someone who has decent knowledge, rather than someone who is close to me.

i really think it is worth travelling for the peace of mind.

yea cept it has dark tint, a korn sticker and VIC plates now.

There is actually an identical 33 in Melton but it has 5 stud wheels.

I have the identical car as yours lol. With standard rims and tinted windows parked @ the pub on High street I think. :) I had my badges ripped off when I parked @ the back of my work place =/

Yep thats the one.

What a coincidence.

You might have seen my car parked down the road outside dominos lately...?

Thats where i work.

We do our own servicing as a general rule but if I was going to take our cars anywhere it would be to see Nick @ the pit stop oil change on Pascoe Vale Rd.. one of our good friends, honest, owns a 32 of his own, knows what hes talking about.. :) he's helped us put on exhausts and a whole bunch of other stuff. Saturday is a good day to go there..

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
