Firstly, welcome and congrats on a great new ride! We're a really friendly bunch down here so I'm sure you'll have no trouble fitting in.

I'll let the other guys handle the other questions, but I assure you, the plice treat us better here than anywhere else in Australia.

Just last month we had a night meet and a couple of cops came down, lit up a smoke next to us and chatted for about 15 minutes asking us how we were and commenting on how nice some of the cars were and then wished us well and headed off.

Now there were some cars there that could have been defected and put away for life.....and they knew that, but they were just making sure we were looking after ourselves and not breaking the law.

The vehicle inspectors here are dicks, not the guys at the registry, they are also pretty fair, but it's the inspectors that go out and find cars to defect here that are tools, but even they don't go out of their way to make things hard for us.

In conclusion, Canberra cops, in general, are great!

For your first question I would reccomend the guys at Integra Automotive. Heaps of experience with Skylines, and I would be confident in saying they have the best Power FC/Autronic/Motec/Microtech tuner in Canberra working there (Ed). They are out in Queanbeyan, give them a call on 62329329 and go out and have a talk to them and tell them what you are after.

Trojan motorsport in Mitchell is a brilliant workshop that specialise in Skyline performance. Just one trip down to the garage and you'll see what i mean.

They are contactable on 6242 6277. Ask for John. And if you drop in tell them Steve (silver 33) sent you! It probably wont get you a discount but i'll be able to talk myself up next time I see the boys :miner: lol...

  • 2 weeks later...

I have heard he is good with SAFC's but not sure about powerfc's. I guess it depends on if you are willing to give him a go if not i suggest you take it to Ed @ integra as he seems to have worked the most with powerfc's

does anyone go to autotech out in fyshwick to get their power fc tuned?

i was there today to get my car dyno tested (just to see power) but dunno how they are with tuning the fc..

Cheers,

-JD

    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I dried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4     I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the casing. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I overcome one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
