heya guys ,

where do u recommend for servicing of the skyline ( not those dodgy ones or cheaters )....i live in glebe

thanks

ADVAN performance. They are on Hampstead road in Auburn. In my experience, well worth the drive over from the city.

What servicing are you after??

If its only oil,oil filter,spark plugs,air filter - save yourself some money and if your confident enough do it yourself.

yup those 5k km servicing....but i am not confident enough to do myself

BEL garage for sure dude. they might charge a little more but they are great!!

if you're a member of theclub you get discounts at UAS i think....they are good too i hear, but havnt been there myself.

So yeah, I am looking for a good Skyline mechanic in sydney myself.

So far

Bel Garage - friendly, do not overcharge, but sloppy (see wastegate actuator cover note above)

CRD - friendly, decent prices but rushed the last job they did ... I got a greddy ebc installed, took a long time but then the dyno tune was rushed and I didn't even get a printout of any sort because some other customer was having a whinge about waiting long

****

Just my opinion anyway. For normal servicing, oil, oil filter etc I reckon you should do it yourself as it's easy. But if you cant be bothered give this guy a call, my dad uses him for oil changes etc and says he's an honest and good mechanic, comes to you too. (Frank Migldalski 0422787878)

Yeah I've heard of unigroup ... might have to pay them a visit tommorow actually.

Just had the road tune done by Toshi and we spent all day ... only to come back home to 1) find his chip programmer broken and 2) his timing gun reading my ignition timing at 30 degrees instead of 15.

f**k me dead. Does this shit ever end??? So either his timing gun is faulty or we've just wasted the whole day because if my ignition timing is higher than 16-17 degrees, all the road tuning we did today was for nothing so i'll probably end up paying twice to get it done.

So yeah, I need to take the car to unigroup ASAP as Toshi says they have a very good timing gun that will tell us the correct reading. Fark. Me. Dead. Just once I'd like something to go right with this car. On one hand I love it and on the other, I hate it because I've already spent so much money on it (and need to spend lots more to get it the way I want it) and because I can't seem to get a friggin break when it comes to tuning it.

Sorry for hijacking your thread mate! Just venting ..

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
