Hi guys,

just got a 32 and need a few things done

Prob could do with a propper service and i has no tools so will need a name for servicing + also maybe re-install of aircon (was removed by previous owner)

need the suspension re-doing (coilys winding up and alignment and tweak for more grip etc.)

and need a good auto elec who knows about car alarms as i need the viper alarm in the car looking at and the door trigger wiring in

so if you know of a good workshop you can recomend in Launceston i'll be very glad to hear

Thanks,

Tom

for the alarm id be going to talk to Matt or Arther at auto barn in kings meadows

wheel alingment head to quick fit

and a basic service can be done by really any-1, boost automotive, fuel tech, rons automotive

Wayne Nichols at Parkside automotive.

70 Bathurst St Lonnie

He prepares my R32 gtst circuit car and is fantastic.

He also has a great auto elecy on site

He's probably the most competitive on price... some others are soooo expensive

well the service is going to have to be pretty extensive

will be getting all the fluids changed including ps and hicas (unless i get a lock bar sorted)

need a proper alignment and ride heights changing, camber adjusted etc etc

Rocket_Rosco - what exactly does he do race prep wise? engine tuning, suspension, corner weighting, or just general servicing?

how is he price wise?

and how badly does he mark up prices of oils etc? (would it be cheaper for me to but what i want him to change?)

Sorry for the long time to reply, have been away from the computer for days.

for an example, Ford charged one of Wayne's new customers $355 for a basic service on a EB Falcon and didn't even fill up the windscreen washer bottle. Wayne quotes $120 for the same service and he does it properly.

Give him a call with all the things you'd like done and he'll give you an idea of price.

thanks for that mate, may have to wait a week or two so i have enough cash to get him to do everything i need but i think i'll give him a try

Rons automotive, I have never seen a normal car in his work shop, all's that they seem to do is work on imports, which must tell you something. they are all to happy to help and dont charge through the roof.

boost automotive, i was there today putting the car over the pits and looking around and talking to the guy they seemed to have it all worked out,

If i was taking my import some where to get worked on, it would be one of these two places, yes there are other good mechenics out there but you want some one who works on them all the time and not just guessing on what they are doing

thats my two bob worth and why is my spell checker not working any more?????

thanks guys

looks like the abs unit is on the way out so the full service will have to put on hold

anyone know anywhere who is good with brakes and things?

i just need somewhere that can take the abs unit apart and put new seals in (can provide them if need be)

Tas Brakes are they guys to go to about brakes. they are on the corner of margaret and fredrik? street.

Simon in there is very very pedantic and i have never seen or heard a bad thing about them.

    • Hey   ive gone for a terminated harness on my build so selling brand new unused and unopened piggy back harness  https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-141357-elite-2000-2500-nissan-skyline-r32-33-r34-gt-r/ Located Bathurst NSW   price $600 + postage     
    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
