Hey Guys,

It's getting close to that time again where i need to get my beloved 250GT Four Door serviced.

Anyone know any good mechanics in the western Sydney region which do a decent service, also looking to start modding the car, any place that particularly good with jap imports?

i will venture into eastern suburbs as well if need be.


Thanks,


Vince

I didn't think the AWD 250gt was on the SEVS list.. how did you get one complied? personal import? (lived in Japan for a while)

Sorry.. don't know any good mechanics in Sydney..

If you find one, let me know.

I get my car worked on (so far only Z-tube and Plenum chamber) at Bondi Junction, the guy that owns the shop, owns a GTR.

Sorry.. I misread your original post.. it though you said 250GT Four. which was the AWD version.. totally missed the 'Door' part.. unless your later edit changed this part??

lol yes guilty i forgot to put door on the first post lol saw what you said and thought oh F**k and changed it lol, yes it is indeed a rear wheel four door sedan,

really hoping someone knows a good place that i can trust, was loooking at getting a shift kit installed and a couple of the so called "trans speacialists" said they do not make transgo for my car, which i believe is complete BS anyway, again if anyone knows hit me up would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Try IS Motor Racing over at Rockdale in Sydney. I take my v35 there to get serviced, they are pretty good and don't charge an arm or a leg.

Thanks Mike really appreciate it, know if they are good with installing mods and whatnot?

cheers, any other places would be great so i can have a look around see who is the best!

That's pretty much what they do haha. Give them a call and speak to Indy.

if you can swing a spanner you can do a basic oil change and some entry level mods

Save some cash and learn about the car. If you are not super confident in being able to check problems ect just get every 2nd service done somewhere and get them to give it a full once over for your more infrequent consumables like belts ect

^this is true

You will feel more confident and fulfilled after you've done it yourself as well

I agree with the last two comments however i dont have the time to learn and everytime i try and "fix" Things i end up in more trouble than i was in the beginning lol, my little brother is a mechanic and he can service it for me, however i need a log book service to keep my warrenty.

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
