I dont recomend george mays. not very happy with his work there at all. At the end of the day, I had to reinstall the injectors that they idnt put in properly and fuel was spraying all over the engine bay, after they worked on it a heater hose was moved and rubbing on the exhaust, so I had to replace that also, the tune was very very bad, didnt go as good as it did when it went in, and he just wasnt interested in helping me get it going right.

I paid nearly a grand for nothing really cause I had to fit the injectors, had to get it tuned elswhere to fix his tuning (they said he only tuned a small rev range and guessed the rest) and had to replace the heater hose and go without the car for weeks!

NOT HAPPY!

just my experience with George Mays.

i havnt heard a lot of good things about old george may either... does some good customising of metal work, plumbing and manifolds but the rest is a bit dodgy.

i know that h +e auto electrics in noosa are very good at what they do but i dont know if they can tune an ecu at all... dont even know if they are still there.

place ive heard only good things about it charlies motors in brissie... dont know much about them tho. i think they tuned my power fc before i bought the car and it runs well... reliable + power.

hey drift limo, saw your ceffie on the side of the road yesterday out the front of lifeline in kunda park with the bonnet up. seen it at george mays ages ago aswell. where has it been for so long? not rego'ed im guessing....

Hahahaha yeah that was about 1/2 an hour after we picked it up.. Stalled like 5 times from Racecraft to where we were sitting lol. Had to go buy a new battery... Managed to limped it home (on base maps with 4 cylinders running :dry: ) You were'nt in the blue festiva were you?

Nah she's not even complied yet.. May be looking at a new bottom end first :)

Chris your talking about Blakes old Ceffy yeah?.. I was gonna buy that but couldn't get the cash at the time. I'm good mates with Ryan :wacko:

no i was in the falcon work ute, i drove past as i was heading back to work.

how hard is it goin to be to get it complied now that the 15 year rule is out and u have to go through sevs compliance??

Ah just some guy in a festiva tooted and waved..

Already been through this with my Laurel wich is uncomplied too.. Only need the import approval to state it came in under the 15 year scheme.. Will still be eligble under that rule.

Unsure if its worth the effort to get it engineered atm.. Will prob get rolled by the popo every week if I rego it :

Go the BLUES!! Oh yeah - we suck...

Keen to go to drift nats - still organising tho.

egg ball ay, i dont even watch the sport untill this time of the year but egg ball is a bit of a silly thing to say unless you are a nsw man and just trying to protect yourself...like me haha.

dish is the enemy... my wheels are rubbing on my wire loom in the wheel arch. and i finally got my brake booser fixed and now the brake lights get stuck on some times.. import = pain and money but you cant get around it.

Haha i remember seeing that ceffie at george mays for ages, looked fat! Pitty about george mays doing the work though, my mates 200sx was getting some work done there and he charge a hidious amount for the work...

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
