Townsville Skyline Owners

How much for the valve, I dont want to spend much...

Just want to solve this issue my car is having, car hesitates when your changing gears with high rpm.

Currently not running a BOV

I'll have a look this afternoon. I think its just got some overspray on it but it still works. Think the steel gasket is there as well

just give me like $20 for it.

Hey guys, I'm still cruising around Townsville so wave to the bloke in the turbo'd Tokyo taxi if you get the chance. I'm also trying to decide on a few things. My ride has some issues and its been tough to get some of them sorted. Boost creeping past 15psi, hesitation at 5k and stalling. Up until now the main issue has been cash flow (I'm studying - hence strapped) but I've got some plastic cash put aside now so I run into a second problem. Who will do the work?

So far the choices appear to be Paul at Extreme and Lee at LG Automotive for the mechanical (unless anyone else started tuning Nistune in the last year and I've missed it?) and Prestige Paint and Panel for some touch ups to the body work.

Any other ideas?

Just had a look then and apparently it got thrown out a few weeks ago while I was at work. I'll try and find one from someone in Mackay for you tonight if you want

If anyone is interested I also have a turbosmart dual stage Boost controller and a set of anodized blue tuner wheel nuts (the ones taleb tyres sell)

Can get you one for $30

paul at whitehouse st is the best for skylines, just hope you have very deep pockets. go to northern crash repairs on bays water rd their work is pretty good.

what work you looking at getting done?

Hmm, When I emailed them last year they said they didn't really tune nistune but could do me a viptech for a cool four grand.

It's already got a 3076R and some supporting add ons but it needs a decent tuner to get the best out of it. Right now I don't get much love above 5k because it either over-boosts until it cuts out or it hesitates so much it feels like the engine is just about to fall out of the bottom of the car. I think I will end up taking it to Paul. He had a little trouble with the software last time I had him look at it but I think I've got it sorted now. Plus he didn't have his dyno up and running then.

As for the body work... It's been to northern crash repair and I wasn't too pleased with the finished result. Nothing major just little things that could have been done better. EG: Small dint left in a freshly painted bonnet, bonnet wasn't aligned correctly, the body kit could have been better secured and tighter.

It's booked in for Tuesday with Paul @ X-treme. I'm going to try and get a video of it on the dyno so this weekend I'll be washing it and changing the oil.

How much did paul want for the tune? I might hit him up to for a retune myself.

Was quoted a soft $400 because of the unsure nature of my issues but that should include the plugs.
