Any Recommended Place For Wheel Alignment


Recommended Posts

Moved back here - couldn't stay away from Benno.... I miss him :D

Was staying in Brissy for almost a year but back home now.

Trying to finish some things on the GTR now before I get a tune from Benno.

Hey thanks for the invite! I'II come along, It will be cool to talk face to face.

I'II try to finish off the rest of the small things that need to be done, so not to disappoint :)

Traction Tyres in Kellets Rd Rowville,not far from Ben,they are a standout,exceptional work.Most of there work is on race cars.They have had a fair involvement with R33 GTR's in Targa.

i guess a wheel barrow can blow the doors off your car aswell

yeah a wheelbarrow could blow the wheels off my car at the moment actually :( I'm just hanging shit on ash, nothing against R31's dude ;)

Yeah i've used traction tyres in rowville and was pretty happy with them.. I'll be going back there.

both my cars go thru there for wheel alignment, they are experienced with skylines and the 510's(you'd be suprised how many people cant set up the old datsun 1600!!!)..

wheel alignments are only as good as the skill and the experience the front end mechanic has, especially look for a place who have had extensive experience in preparing race cars...

I tried to book in at Trutrak but he was flat out and couldn't fit me in until mid next week - I couldn't wait that long so I called up Centerline and he booked me in for the next day first thing.

Can't tell you how happy I am with the work they did! He asked me to drive the car until I was very happy with how it handled and the steering wheel was straight as I get a bit picky.

They also had a few race cars there and asked me how and what I used my car for. I can tell you I left with a smile on my face.

I'm sure Trutrak would of done a great job as well and I thank the guys who recommended these places as they did great work and it was money well spent.

Thanks again guys!!!

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
