Most auto electricians do it.

Pick up the yellow pages ring around.

Obviously most of them do it dude, and i know how to use a phone book. I was looking for some that someone else with a skyline had used or someone that could recommend a person they like so i could keep all my money in the community :thumbsup: And i would hate to just rock up at a place that has never done it to a skyline and then something bad happen you know on the off chance.

And thanks for the two suggestions above as well :ermm:

Windows down is better anyway!!! Enjoy the summer heat!!!

Slightely off topic.....When i first got my car I noticed my belt for the aircon was cracking. So i replaced all the belts and everything was fine until i noticed the aircon belt had completely split a month later. Probably another few weeks later and the whole belt is completely farked and snapped off..

Either way, At first I figured it was because it was hitting something. But I have checked and there is heaps of clearance... Can the groves get too sharp, or is it possible to get a dodgy belt?

Has this happened to anyone else?

I know its off topic, but missus is on my case to get my air con sorted >:down:

you can get dogdey belts i bought a new one for power steering and it snap withing in the 1st hour (no was not on wrong or tooo tight)

but then agian like aboove stated can become sharp with age!

yeah tha grooves can get sharper as the age of the vehicle increases. caused by wear and slipping belts over time. another thing to look at would be to see if you a/c compressor isnt starting to lock up.

Can happen over time which will obviously wear the belt out. Also if it is slipping you wont be able to hear it like the old style V-ribbed belt.

Hope this helps!! in the meantime its windows down for me!! (Busted a/c hose!!)

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
