I am in need for a wheel alignment for a R32GTR. I just moved up to the Gold Coast from SA and not too sure who are best for this job. I travel to South Brisbane most weekend so getting it done around there is not a problem too.

Could someone kindly let me know who you normally go to? Do they open on the weekend?

TSR is at slacks creek and they seemed pretty good..... they are very south side brissy too... http://www.shockreco.com.au/index.htm

I'm sure they do wheel alignment or at least know of a good place to get it done. :D

DO NOT GO TO THEM. Seriously. PM me if you want to know why. As its bad if I say on here or something.

Either way try "Accurate Suspension" and talk to Ken, they arent that much further away from TSR and are MILES better.

Dave pm me why man... I have some major suspension work that needs to be done soon... They and pedders were the only two that could do a proper alignment with me leopard so far. But pedders uses the bad red bushes :D

common guys, help a new bro out :D

All I want to do is dial in a little bit more caster + camber for the front and possibly corner weight the car. I am just slowly preparing for the next Sat sprint day at QR. I think I got bitten by the track bug last time I was there :)

I am at work during the week and can only get this done on the weekend.

Anyway, someone must use/know a good shop for this sort of thing. Where are all the trackies when you need their good advices :D?

Did you ask Ken if he knew of anyone down the coast?

thanks I will ask him next week.

He was busy last week and I did not get a chance to talk to him at all.

Thanks tappet. Sometimes the operator is more important than the tool. Back when I was in SA I always used this chap with the old school manual wheel alignment tools. He was spot on all the time.

BTW does Ken use laser or manual alignment machine?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
