Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone has used this service before -'Adelaide Vehicle Inspections' - http://www.adelaidevehicleinspections.com/

Main things for me are paint thickness test and compression test.

Interested in some feedback if possible.

Cheers.

The guy that just bought my Skyline used them.

I was actually really impressed by the AVI guy. He does quite a few imports each week as well.

I spoke to him quite a bit while he was doing the inspection. He knows his stuff and is quite thorough and fair.

I was quite impressed :)

I find him to over compensate for small items.

He told me my car should be a write off and that it had been structurally cut. In the end when I got the pictures he meant the front reo bar had been cut to fit a FMIC.

Also said that the odometer didnt work at all. After a for a 5km drive with a GPS and it was within 100 meters at the end. There was a list of about 7 items that were either incorrect, misleading or over stated. The new owner and I went over the car with his report and in the end his report was a fair stretch from any truth. In the end the new owner bought the car and put the report in the bin.

He also didnt show for 1 inspection than arrived 20 minutes late for a second inspection. No notice was given for each and I had to chase him both times.

He is the cheapest but I would avoid him. Possible even organise a tow to pick and drop off at a workshop, or owner to drop off/pick up.

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
