Hey.

Im trying to find a decent and reasonable mechanic to take a look at an Evo 5 near Taylors Hill. Ive got a friend looking to buy a car there but she is in Queensland so hoping to get it checked out before she wastes the money/time to go down

Thanks

If it is modified though, a performance mechanic would be the best option... RACV check is a good way to go, but if its got mods they're out of their depth...

Otherwise we've got some pretty hardcore Evo 4/5/6/7 owners who might be able to go take a look for her, for a small price...

Try Stateroads, they know their imports and will give you a much better and more comprehensive report then RACV.

The person inspecting your car will also usually call you personally and explain the report and will answer any of your questions. You don't get that with RACV.

Ask about the jap import specialist inspector when you make the inquiry.

    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.  
    • Oh and how is the rattle when foot is on the clutch ?
    • Did you get the sport or track ? From what the documentation says the uniclutch has a small amount of movement to disengage.  So your story of tricky pedal setup seems common.    Hopefully you got it bled up too, as the bite point moving around is usually either plates wearing in or air in the line.
