Hey,

Just wondering for all those coastie skyliners...do you get your line serviced/tuned by anyone on the coast or do you take it to Syd or Newy?

I have had a couple of bad experiances with people on the coast who claim to be "Performace Specialists" so started takin my 33 to Unique... although pain in the ass when u gotta hang around the middle of no where for hours n hours.

anyone know of any good reliable places on the coast?

Hi,

You should pop into the Central Coast Thread I believe there was a small discussion on this a page or two back.

Adam at TM autosport - great guy! Definately recommend him. Haven't heard of the guy at Mt White so can't comment.

there's an excellent skyline mechanic at mount white of all places....not really the coast but a lot closer than sydney

My mate owns the garage at Mt White, the old NRMA one, which i think he must lease off them, becuase my mate recently saw my car for teh first time and said apparently some guy who works on/owns skylines is using dads garage.

I assume this is the guy your talking about?

BTW- I've herd bad things about TM......... =/ for numerous different sources, never delt with them so jsut be weary.

There used to bea great Mechanic at Kariong Automotives (he's left now as far as i know) he used to work at just jap, or so he told me (and his jumper said) but his wife was Jappanese and used to work in Japan for a few years turning spanners. Might be worth giving them a ring, and see if he's come back, his names "Alan" i'mpretty sure.

Do you have the details and address for the new shop?

Plenty of people on SAU have happily used Nathan's shop in Annandale but he is new to Mt White

Can i have the details of this guy too please?

My dad is slowly getting sick of working on my cars and I am thinking I might have to start paying for it one of these days :(

Nathan is the best.

Wouldn't trust my car to anyone else.He's done all the servicing etc on my skylines for the last few years. Give him a call. I think he's only working out of Mt. White a few days a week at this stage.

Thanks

Can't really recommend anyone else because I haven't been there to experience their work for myself, but I bought my car from Alan and can vouch for his honesty. The car I bought off him is a Stagea, and he did the manual conversion on it himself. He did an excellent job with the conversion, and when I went to look at the car he went over it with a fine-toothed comb for me and had nothing to hide.

He did indeed live in Japan for a while, and did a few similar Stagea auto-to-manual conversions while he was living there, one with an RB26 too...

Nice guy, I'd recommend him, assuming he's still there.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
