My new baby is booked in a week today, I dont think I'll need to post yet another good review as they all speak for themself's but I guess another can only add to the reputation of this fine gentleman.

Speaking to him on the phone he explained a lot of things to me (as a beginner "car enthusiast" I dont always understand what is actually under the bonnet of my '93 R33 GT-S25t) and he was quite polite and understanding, even suggesting a parts shop and other things.

NismoGirl is he located on the northern or southern end of Gibbs St?

southern end.

i know i know - im not nismo girl but hey.

That's ok Ill forgive you this time! :wassup:

No the whole point was so that I could post this pic showing where he is and the surrounding area.

That way people can either decide to go to the shopping centre or take a book, it looks like there are several parks nearby or go for an extended walk to the beach.

Also it helps people find him.

My baby is going to be dropped off at 8:30am on the 30th and it is the one in my avatar, less the 4w smoke as it is only a GT-S25t but looks cool in my avatar.

But it is black, so I usually have to have the aircon running for it to be a bearable tempature in the cabin after it has been sitting in the sun for like 10 seconds :P

If you want to see up close and personal pics then I got some here:

BUT they are not small, pretty huge actually, but because I have broadband it does not really worry me, but if you are on dial-up I would not suggest looking at them as they are just of a stock '93 R33, nothing special, except it's mine :D

oops yeah my bad edited the post :)

Yeah I took the car to RACQ to get inspected as it was a private sale and RACQ found cracks running into the back mags, which were ugly BBS aluminium so I picked out a cheap new set and hey presto!

well picked the car up this afteernoon. all i can say atm IS O M G !!!!

the whole place is just great, very helpful.

the gtr is now FLYING !! it hoots. doing a powerrun dyno and new plugs next week :>

Hey, do you work around Coopers Plain

i saw a white GTR looks like yours several times when i finish work

pretty nice R33 GTR

Hey guys I work at the Northern end of the Gold Coast does that count?

Not that I want to change my signature anyways (the new V-Bulletin upgrade won't allow a sig as long as mine anymore) just thought I would ask though ;)

More than welcome //exus9... 6 members and counting. ;)

Yeah, new V-Bulletin software thought it would be funny to play havoc with my sig this arvo too... I want to change my avatar as well but I'm a bit wary ATM.

Back on topic though, Gavin is the man! Did my timing belt, drive belts, tensioner, idler and water pump about 3 months ago. I'm a harsh critic and I honestly couldn't fault the workmanship...

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
