I talked to a guy from Meng in the main street, he was very helpful and i brought up wheel allignments and he replied it can be done in about 2-3 days. Pedders in north mackay have a huge wait, 1 week +

and from memory i think an allignment is about $75 from Meng.

Ok so i need to replace the bolt in my front left, rear castor bar (behind the disk brakes) and it's basically impossible to do it from home as the original bolt is extremely tight and there isn't enough room to get a good go at it from being jacked up.

I need some advice as to who to go to to get this done,

Nissan have said "we don't have the equipment" the chick at the counter must have been drunk.

Pedders want $140 P/H and can't do it until next week sometime, although it should be roughly an hours work i still don't want to pay that much. I haven't tried anywhere else yet but i wanted to know if anyone has had this done before and could recommend a place or an individual to do it.

thanks

Just think about this. If someone does a job well, everyone wants to go there, if someone else doesnt, then there not going to have a huge line-up of customers

Personally I'd rather take it to neither. Would like if I knew someone who worked at a mechanics shop with the alignment tools to do it. But I dont know of anyone.

Not trying to detur you from Meng's, but just saying that something that seems like a good thing can turn out to be a bad thing

I went to pedders last time, and it seems to have helped my tyre wear so cant complain to much. However I dont think they took any camber out of the rear.

So I haven't spammed the thread with photos for a while so I thought now would be a good time. Spent some time today straightening out the diffuser after slamming it on the gutter at south Mackay KFC the other day (or at least I think thats where I bent it up)

Gave the car a wash and had a play with the camera for the first time in a little bit.

Anyway. Did a quick before/after photo of what can easily be done with 5 minutes in photoshop. Removed stone chips from my front bar and did some processing. Yes yes I'm bored on my days off........

Impressive man, in 3 months that's a really big difference. Also did you go through four ways at like 6am, I'm almost 100% sure it was your car that i heard when i first woke up haha.

haha no 3 months into owning it. so about 5 years ago...

And i was out at about 6:30 but not through four ways

Hey guys finally got another car to flog/build. Picked up a early model 180SX off of Rob in Townsville. Goes alright but you know me guys this thing will begin its transformation ASAP, i will be ordering a ship load of parts when i get home next week. Can't wait to hit the prossy track and hang the arse out will be freaking awesome.

Here's some pics:

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
