Floor mats, seat covers, airfresheners and oils.......thats about all autobarn and supercheap are good for.

Can't believe you younger fellas buy parts from either of these mass outlets, you're paying a premium for crap!

purchasing from online sponsors are the best way to go, best price, deals and you get what you order for (well in most cases) and to fit just bring it to your trusty mechanic ^_^

+1

'net in general, research etc get the best deal from 'round the world

total trades supplies, total tools, soldertech. Places like that are specialised in Tools etc, They actually most of the time know what they are on about, its where most tradies get their tools as do i.

Motor traders are very good for auto parts like OEM shit, like replacements for engine parts, tools etc....

For brand new aftermarket performance shit for jap cars definetly online traders.

the guys at Autobarn noarlunga are great, couple of the guys that work in there own imports so i find them very helpful. 2 of the guys in there own skylines so i always ask them if im not sure about anything.. Never had any trouble with them, but yeh havnt shopped at the mile end autobarn, except to buy my clublock. Not going to shop there now.

Thank you mate....i own the maroon 33 thats always out the front,i think i remember helping you with a pod filter or something?its nice to hear some good feedback,i get alot of imports coming through and its always good to have a chat about their cars and generally have a break from the hordes or commonwhores and alike.

i have referd countless people that have just recently bought a skyline to this fourm.

i can quiet honestly say that the assistance and service we give in our store (noarlunga) is 2nd to none.i have been to many different car shops and just retail shops in general and have never experienced the kind of service EVER at any store that i see offered to every customer that comes through our doors.

yea we mark our products up by 200%......moron

think you can find something cheaper else where,what do you think the massive poster that says PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE on it is for?

if you think a product is of cheap quality,dont buy it! it doesnt get much simpler then that.

yes i agree alot of people in the buisness have absolutly no idea what there doing,mostly because there employers have not invested in any sort of training for them.

it will probly interest u to know that the owner of mile end has been trying to sell the buisness for a long time,thats why the stocks are always low.i dont know whats going on with the staff out there tho.

Yeh you were the guy at the Old skool, new age show at the autobarn booth thing? Your car looked pretty nice from what i remember. Always asked for the other dude in autobarn cos i thought he owned the 33 LOL I was in there not that long ago asking about O rings for fuel injectors, think it was you that i asked.

But yeh, i'd rather go there then to supercheap, nothing against supercheap, just know my way around autobarn and havn't had any problems with them.

Ryan was trying to wind him up and he succeeded... no harm no foul. The 200% bit was said in jest and so (I would Assume) was the moron bit.

Back onto the Auto Bahn Bagging

The Gilles Plains store isn't much better that the Mile End on. The owner is a complete twat and doesn't know shit; although he well and truly thinks he does.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
