Where to get Skyline Serviced

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

Another place for northsiders is Skylines Performance..... The boys are real pro's and as the name says they specialise in skylines and have built and worked on some very tough cars, and phil has worked on and knows everything about skylines since the r30...phone number is 62550200.... But for full on engine rebuilds and the like chasing big hp, the man is jake... Jakes Performance on 6255 4545 (he doesnt do regualr service stuff)...

Belt change, including timing belt? I was thinking of getting one done when i have Power FC, Injectors and pump go in soon.

[leech_]

lol i will do it for $10 aurora, i have no idea of how to do it but i am sure if i start pulling things out of your engine bay and shove some other stuff in something is bound to happen may not work but u never know haha

I know the theory behind a timing belt change.

But i'm not going to attempt it on my own.

Bought and service my skyline through these dudes! They know their s#$t about imports and specialise in skylines - any model!

Figured this is along the same train of thought as before. Soon as i get my car passed rego i'll need to get an engine immobiliser and possibly alarm system fitted. I don't want anything to elaborate or expensive, it's mainly just to satisfy the insurer.

What systems (and prices) are recommended for the car, and where is a good place to have these items installed? I don't want some 16yo from JBHIFi stuffing around with my car if you get my drift.... thanks in advance

Just had my R34 serviced for the big run back to Cairns. Had it serviced by Joe Fister at the Mobil Servo at Garran. I have nothing but praise for the guy. Only required a basic service this time round but he is a Skyline fanatic. Many thanks to Jeremy for the recommendation. Motul 4100 Turbo light in the engine, Redline in the gearbox and Motul 300 in the diff. All good I say.

Cheers

Need some battery / electrical advice people......

I had a new Optima battery put into the Skyline when I bought it last October. All over summer I had no problems. I went away quite a few times in Autumn, so car wasn't started each time for 3 - 4 -, sometimes 5 days. Each time I tried to start it I thought "Oh s..., this battery is bloody flat". Luckily it whirred back into life slowly both times. After long weekend I was only away for two days and same thing....Last Friday I drove car to work and back again (about 50kms round trip), didn't drive the car Saturday and then yesterday lunchtime I had the slow whirring / almost nothing start again....

I'm thinking either battery or alternator. Thoughts???

Last week I disconnected the amp completely in case it was causing any problems, but there has been no change.

Should I take the car out to Battery Factory and ask em to check it out or

should I book it into a auto electrician? If so are there any recommendations for a auto electric shop either in Fyshwick or Belconnen that knows Skylines? Or should I just take it to Ed or Tez or Garran?

Thanks in advance gurus

[polishstorm]

sounds like the alternater has shit itself but take it to joe and he will diagnose for ya

[blackdoggette]

thanks dude!!! really appreciate it - s'pose it will cost a bomb!!! :-(

[Amaru]

i trust all my stuff to ed, so this would be no different

take it back to where you got the battery, they usually have a fairly long warranty these days, they should be able to look at it for free and if the battery is faulty it falls under warranty, but if they tell you its the alternator, take it to the worshop/auto sparkie of your choice, hopefully for you its the battery as new alternators are $1200+ retail

thanks heaps - will do - sheesh, better not be new alternator, thought it was going to be expensive.

don't worry - I do too, I think he's the best, but q'beyan is a little to difficult for me to drop car off and get to work etc......

Well its all good----It was a faulty battery. Took the car out to Battery Factory last week. They replaced the Optima with another newbie and kept the Optima for testing. They tested it - charged - tested - drained - etc etc and turns out it was faulty. I am going out there tomorrow to get a brand newbie replacement.

Have nothing but praise for these guys - they are really helpful and loved the car!!!!

Recommended for sure - Battery Factory - near Forty Winks in Fyshwick

Sooo pleased it wasn't the alternator
