maybe throw up a rough price for general service (oil/filter/plugs), then maybe a diff oil/trans oil change, to things like links/bushes/suspension just to give people an idea. Seems like timing belts are your thing :D, rough price to get one changed? maybe even turbo swaps/manifold swaps, not everyone needs work right now, but if something where to come up then its always a good reference.

will keep you in mind, if im unable to do it myself :ban:

ok then .

quotes.

timing belts full kits inc,water pump,bearings,fresh coolant,belt,seals,checkover car,from 700$.

service oil and checkover car from 65 inc mineral oil and filter.

direct bolt on turbos for rb's from 250$

full service inc,gearbox,check diff,,engine,brake,and complete check pver from 140$inc parts and labour .

really if you can find better on these prices i would say go for it as they are not much for labour.

cheers,

ps. had plenty of happy customers ,

hope every one is happy with the service as i am pretty sure that they are.

Just to give John another :thumbsup: - he did the water pump, cam belt, tensioner, idler, air/powersteer/alternator belts on my 32 GTR. He did great work and gave me a good price. It was also cool to be able to hang around and chat about a few other aspects of the car. Definitely recommended.

i don't know john so i can't say if he's good or not... he sounds decent

one thing that will be a worry is that he doesn't have public liability (???)

this could be an issue if you get a dickhead customer who screams 'you broke my car!'

i need an auto electrician... i want a relay or solenoid installed in my car as it has hot start problems?

can you do this? i prefer not to replace the starter as it's ok otherwise

just engine with no box or complete car ,

as i have to do this in my driveway and it is hard with no hoist it would not be worth it as you would be able to get any shop with even a bit of gtr knowledge would probably be able to do it cheaper.unless its just engine it would not be woth it for me or you to do it.

sorry but im just laying it out straight.

cheers

what do you mean hot start probs. as in the car wont start again once its warmed up?

if this is the case its prob a faulty starter relay in that case just needs a replacement with a new one if thats not it i would need to have a look at it and yeah i can probably fix it !

ps. its good to see someone look from the mechanics p.o.v for once on the liability factor as that stuff does happen but i am not stupid and if something goes wrong thats my fault i warrant all the work i do.

cheers

lol mate i was like you , doing little jobs at home but now ive got all the specialty tools

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
