Hi guys, i have searched but found nothing recent, im looking for someone to do a front and rear wheel alignment on my gtr, who is good? im in the northern suburbs but will travel if its worth it. Im not after the cheapest i want the best, someone that knows what they are doing.

After a recent experience i will NEVER use PEDDERS SALISBURY ever again.

Any help appreciated

thanks

Two places I've used in the past are Bridgestone on Gouger Street, and Blackwood Tyrepower.

Both listened to what I wanted rather than alligned to what they wanted.

Bridgestone also adjusted my camber kit and castor rods to the specs I wanted. It did cost more, but I was happy to pay for a result I was happy with. This was a few years ago, so not sure if the same people still run them.

Adelaide radial tyre in holden hill is the goods dude

This

Stay away from tyre power parafeild took 3 hours to allign my gtst with adjustable arms took exhaust off n wheels off n on ect very slow and shitty allignment

Tyrepower Blackwood if you're in the south, Adelaide Radial Tyre if you're in the north - been to both and both have done excellent alignments

-D

+1 for Adelaide Radial. They are a great bunch, always walked away satisfied.

+1 for SA Motorsport Tyres on Magill Rd.

very professional, know their stuff regarding alignment settings, and do a lot of motorsports setups. they went to the effort of spending time aligning very exactly; the most accurate alignment ive ever had done, perfect to the hundredth of degree/mm (!) (coilovers, camber arms and toe arms).

reasonably priced, friendly and provide good advice.

I have used Bob Jane's on Main North Road in prospect. They have always done good by me and very friendly staff who listen and inform you of what is happening. Clint is the guy there that does wheel alignments and he is a top bloke and very good at it :D

X2 for clint, will talk your ear off but damn good guy.

ray the owner is also a champ.

Thanks for all input guys, much appreciated. Car ended up getting a not so good report card, couldnt be aligned properly due to slightly bent arms or knuckles all round, so gotta find another lot of knuckles, this also gives me the excuse to buy all new adjustable arms :yes:

where did you go Danny?

I wanted to go to adelaide radial tyre after all the responses here, but i couldnt get in on the only day i could manage to get time off work. pedders at ridgehaven near tea tree plaza were recommended to me by a few other people, and was convenient for me so i tried there.. He apparently works on some drift cars and gets a few jdm vehicles through there. He seemed to know what he was talking about, explained things really well and charged me bugger all because it couldnt be aligned properly. I was happy with the service even though it was a bad result.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
