Hey guys,

Looking for a reputable work shop I can take my car to get some work done for a all round wheel alignment and suspension work.

Searched through to see that traction tyre center in rowville is pretty popular on the forum. Previously had work done at centreline suspension, have no complaints at all but there a bit far, trying to stay in the south/east this time.

Recommendations?

Cheers

Used Pedder's Ringwood a couple times for wheel alignments and been happy with them. Initial alignment after fitting my coilovers (that was done elsewhere) and then again to tweak after a track day. Pretty sure one of the guys is a regular at WRX track days.

Yeah I just had an alignment done there as well, asked them to take a quick look at the suspension components and let me know what should be replaced and they didn't come back with an excessive list to make them more, which was nice :P

The bloke you want to speak to at Pedders Ringwood is Ray

Shane's always looked after me and plenty of other SAU'ers at Traction Tyres - got a killer alignment setup now too.

They're pretty heavy into their motorsport, so they know what they're talking about...

+ 1 for Traction Tyres in Rowville.

Great knowledge, advice and customer service, kept me updated/informed on each step,

discussed pros/cons of my setup, tyre wear, how i drive etc.. very impressed.

Going back there soon to tweak setup, as I'm about to fit some new adjustable bits:)

I'm glad I came across this thread, previous tyre/alignment workshop/brand I trusted for many years since I've been driving 

proved to be half arsed in the alignment side of things.  I wont be buying tyres of them in future also...lost my business..

I should have paid more attention on previous visits when the guy looked liked he was CBF.  

When I asked him on the last visit, how were the tie rods, he replied 'I didn't check them, I'm just doing the alignment'...

WTF, They are part of the alignment!!

My tie rods were that loose, you could hold the base, and get the vertical bolt that joins the wheel/strut and stir it around like a witch

with a cauldron for FFS. 

 

Anyway..... have new tie rods and aligner/tyre place to go now who I trust.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
