Hey everyone,

I would like 2 bring up the idea of Goods and services exchange for us Skylines Australia members.

For example, if we could create a register of who we are, what skills we could use to help others here ( eg: parts access, audio installation, mechanical repairs etc)

Once this is known, we could contact each other for mutual help with our skylines ( trading goods and services, cash etc depending on whats required)

A practical example of this: I need help with audio installation for my car.........Someone helps me and in return i compensate them with parts, cash or help with their car

Does this sound like a good idea?

What do you think?

I'm not good for anything, but I just thought I'd show my support for this thread. Great Idea ! If we could get it maybe in a more formal way that would be good also, maybe it's own section on the SAU website ?

Nick, detailer ? I'll be in touch ! Do you do a good cut & polish ? What about engine bay detailing ?

That is my 200..... you can probably tell from the finish on that ;)

My dad is a classic car restorer so i inherited that detailing talent i guess..

happy to give you a hand with polishing (your car :lol: )

God that will teach me not to scan read ... I read that last line as "I'll be happy to give you a hand job" ... Now where were we ;)

Nice finish. My car since ariving has only been washed once, and due to Sydney air it gets dirty just sitting in the garage. It has quite alot of fine scratches and a few more prominent due to what seems to be the previous owners cleaning attempts (large swirls). I'd love to bring it up to look like your car but wouldn't even know where to start.

How much would you want for a full wash, cut/polish, wash and wax ? Do you also know much about detailing engine bays eg Plumbing ?

Jimbo,

IM sure we can work something out mate... maybe a case or beer or something...

Prank: i reckon we organise a day to work on cars like u ocne did with mysfit where a group gets together at a location like some sort of big garage and everyone helps everyone else...

Jimbo: you need to wash your car first using meguiars gold class wash, chamois it completely dry then polish the car (I use auto glym super resin polish ) applying with a small piece of towling or smooth cloth in a circular motion focusing on the marks and scratches.... do the whole car (will take ages) then buff it all off....next step get some meguiars yellow wax and some yellow round applicators and rub wax into the paint again in a circular fashion.... use a bit of force to..... once complete and the wax is drying, use one clean cloth and half buff it off.... then use another fresh cloth for a final shine and removal of any left over residue.

bobs ur uncle...

Case sounds good to me :P and definately a maintanance day sounds like a good fun idea. Maybe combined with a BBQ ... nice little social for everyone.

than me :uh-huh:

shucks.......now I'm blushing

I'm not particularly great, I'm probably no better than the next guy. But I've had a bit of practice on a few cars & wouldn't mind helping out.......

ATM I currently need help with my front suspension and Audio installation of Amp/Speakers and Subs, installation of cams and injectors.

In return I can offer cash, Japanese translations, or access to s/h parts for Skyline...180sx and R32 GTR from an importer at mates rates:cool:

So If U can help out give us a PM or reply here

Thanks

Akira

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
