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.

    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
