Hey, I've purchased a replacement set of bushings for the busted bushings (see pic) in my lower control arms in my 02 C35 (Specific model PV35 350gt8). I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how much a standard mechanic will charge for the labour, what price would be a rip off and if anyone has a suggestion for a good mechanic in the Perth region? Thanks -
Hey guys, Photos below: Got this car from the auctions, grey import, has skyline printed all over but rego doesn't specify model, it's listed only as 2002 Nissan sedan so I'm not sure what model I should be looking at for parts etc. It's obviously been modified by previous owner, suspension has been lowered, possibly chopped, don't know for sure. Local mechanic sent me this photo after I took it in for a service and told me the front suspension (mainly bushes) are destroyed, and the steering column is about to fall off... He's said it'll take 6 weeks to source bushes/bushings for repair from Nissan, but doesn't seem sure about what parts will suit... Any advice on what model's parts will be compatible and where to source them? Possibly quicker/cheaper? Or a recommendation for a more specialised mechanic? Any help would be much appreciated, I'm at a loss! Thanks

Hey everyone, first off this is my first post on this forum. I don't know a whole heap about cars as of yet. I've always serviced and worked on my own old, and breaking down honda CRV, but it's time to move to a proper JDM performance car. I've got the money right now to purchase an R34 GTT, although all R34's for sale are all R34 GT's with swaps left right and center. Well, I think they are. Correct me if I'm wrong, but an R34 GTT (4 door or coupe) will always have the 3 gauges above the center console right? So thats the first dead giveaway to tell if it's genuine GTT material. And second, something I noticed, is that the rear end is more boxy rather than round with the reverse lights under the park lights. Anyway, I'm looking to purchase a GTT in Perth. What's the best option? Import or wait for a sale locally?

Hi guys, I'm after a manual cluster/tachometer for my R34 GTT, since mine poofed its self. Was looking at going for a nismo but waaayy to expensive and would rather use the cash for engine mods. Even just the PCD cluster board would be amazing. Thanks

As of last weekend, this is my new 'daily'. I previously owned a ~620rwhp R33 GT-R with a T04Z, built motor etc etc. That was a great car, but by the time I worked out how much I had spent on it, and what I still wanted to do with it, it was actually cheaper to just bite the bullet and by the R35. Specs are: 2009 Nissan R35 GT-R Dark Metal Grey 32,000kms There are quite a few mods in the pipeline, and I have already fitted a full exhaust system (Midpipe and Catback) and 15mm spacers on the front, with 20mm spacers on the rear. I have a few goals for the car: Goals: (will tick them off as they get completed) - 10.5* or less 1/4 mile pass - 54.* or less Wanneroo Short-track time - 550hp at the wheels The idea behind this car is to be able to achieve my goals for under $10,000. As such, the planned upgrades are as follows: Empire Performance Midpipe ( http://myworld.ebay....ire_performance ) Empire Performance Catback ( http://myworld.ebay....ire_performance ) COBB Accessport NIS-006 with TCM control ( http://justjap.com/s...ufacturerid=101 ) Empire Performance Intake + Intercooler kit Bosch EV14 1100cc injectors (http://www.gtrlife.c...-in-fuel-pumps/) SiR in-tank fuel pumps (http://www.gtrlife.c...-in-fuel-pumps/) SiR Stage 1 turbo upgrade (http://www.gtrlife.c...rbos-2500-core/) I'm hoping with these mods it'll do about 550rwhp on 16-18psi (may not actually need the turbos to do this, but we'll play it by ear). Some pics I've owned the car for almost 2 weeks now, so it's definitely time for mods. Here's the latest: Dyno'd it completely 100% stock to get a good baseline figure. It made 415awhp at only 11psi.... not a bad base to work with!! Right after that, we fit the new Empire Performance exhaust and mid-pipe. The weight saving in this is HUGE. I'm guessing the new midpipe is about 15kg's lighter, but I'll weigh the old one shortly. Old Midpipe: Old vs New: New midpipe and catback: Now it sounds like this:

I've have recently bought a 2009 Premium GTR. As with most, after the initial excitement of the performance wore off, I found myself looking at aftermarket upgrades. So last week I purchased the following, which are being installed shortly. Kakimoto Cat Back exhuast system Titanium Mid pipe 3" Cobb Intakes BOV's I also bought a Cobb accessport with TCM. Now I just need some advice as to where is best to take it in the Perth area. A friend recommended I take it to XSpeed but I have since heard that they have gone into liquidation. Is this true? Also, is there anyone in Perth that has any recommendations or advice on where to go? Thanks

Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking to buy a Stagea here in WA (Perth). I've got $7.5 grand to spend so nothing fancy and I'm not after a HP monster, I'm just after a single turbo, auto model (or manual), with the nice factory extra's, that's been well maintained mechanically and looked after. It'll be going to a good home if that helps very particular about maintaining my bikes & cars. I've got a young son and it will be my daily driver as well as my occasional Sunday cruiser so I'm not after fix it jobs or mismatched body kits and alike, but shoot me an email or PM with what you've got and I'll be happy to take a look. Thanks in advance! Steve. PS; The Stagea market seems very quite at the moment

Up for sale is an r33 rb25det head, 99% complete - comes with manifolds, injectors, rail, cams, rocker covers. Only things I can see missing are the coilpacks. Head does have VCT. Apparently came off a low km r33, supplied by Hyderdrive in Malaga. Was going to do a 25/30 but decided on a neo head instead. Pickup Willetton, WA. Or will post at buyers expense.

FS: rb25/30 Pretty much everything needed to do a dohc turbo 3L conversion. Both head and bottom end good condition, but could definitely use a clean. No conversion processes have been done - block vct oil feed/new pulley, etc Head came off low km r33 s2 (apparently Hyperdrive supplied it) 99% complete - comes with manifolds, cams, covers, fuel rail and injectors etc. Only things I can't see are coilpacks and valley cover. 30 bottom end off patrol with 180k kms. Only taken out for conversion. Head gasket still intact, bores and piston heads look good condition, etc. Comes with all spare parts that are laying near it for them. Bought to do a conversion on my car, but as I have an r34 I wanted a neo head (didn't research properly when buying this) and after adding up all the costs, I will just run the neo in my car as there is nothing wrong with it, for now. Asking $800. Located SOTR, WA.

old stagea mod or keep as is? I have just gotten hold of a 97 RS4 C34 Stagea and I have just been pottering around getting it running normally. Now few things it is an auto S1, approaching 300km on non-neo rb25det but unmolested afaics. This is the first time owning any turbo car, any Nissan so I haven't got experience living with these cars. My question is should I keep the car stock as possible and just work on the maintenance (it was a bit rough at first) or is it safe to mod this engine with high km's? I am thinking about getting a piggyback put in and a boost controller (sorry for being absolute noob) but I do not know what I am really doing, just looking for a small bump in power without sacrificing DD ability. It has a 3 inch dump and front exhaust into standard cat and 2.5, came without a muffler so I bolted on a Blitz one (doesn't fit under the bumper lol). I plan to go down in wheel diameter as it has 20 inch rims and it goes against the gearing I've been told. I have no issue with keeping it stock to DD if it is not safe to modify power. It does need suspension work done also mainly in the front. I got the car really cheap (drive away rego too) so maybe when I've got more cash I could try sell it for a lower km manual version?

Hey newcomer to Nissan ownership Hey everyone, joined up because I just bought a 97 Stagea RS Four RB25DET that totally works but is very stock and has a few issues being old and maybe not looked after to the best ability of previous owners. It is auto but I can't complain for what I paid for it. Anyway I hope I get to meet other owners of these fine cars to gain knowledge and generally have fun owning this car. If anyone is from Perth I would appreciate some hook ups to good mechanics and places for parts as most aspect of the car needs attention. Thanks all.

Servicing recommendations? Hey, I am new and looking for good places that are reputable with servicing Skylines/Stagea etc. I have just bought my 97 C34 and seems to drive fine but the fuel consumption is just extreme! It's pretty much stock but running 20" wheels might not be helping it I'm not sure... Prefer SOR but not that fussed want to get it done right.

R34 First time owner WA Hey Guys! Marc here from WA. I am really excited to be collecting my 1998 r34 gtt tmr and I'm so glad there are really helpful people with a fountain of knowledge here on this forum. The r34 that i'm purchasing is actually stock with factory nismo, but with nothing done to it. However, i was wondering if there was anything really essential to change/modify to the car's engine whatsoever or is it alright to run just stock? I'm not gonna race or track it but maybe just the occasional runs, so i don't need it too hardcore (for now haha). If there are any r34 owners in perth do hit me up too, i've just been here for 4 months (from Singapore previously), would love to make some new friends! Thanks, Marc
