Hi guys,

I took my gtr to Heasmans and wanted to share my experience...when I turned up, I couldn't get a park so Doug (owner) walks out and ushers me to the workshop. He then shakes my hand and we go for a drive around the block as he wants to feel the car. He starts on the car but couldn't get my wheels off so he gives me his personal car to drive home so that I can get the wheel locknut, just awesome.

The outcome is a car that has never felt better after a front and rear wheel alignment, front and rear camber adjustment and front castor adjustment.

10 out of 10 from me on all levels :)

I can vouch for Heasman. I went there to get a bush moved from a bent control arm to a straight one. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon the same day. When I went to pay he didn't accept my money.

As long as I live around the area I'll take my cars there for alignments :)

Aaaaah paulie not many threads on sau get past u haha.

The car really feels planted now, -1.5 degrees camber front and rear.

When Doug drove my car he commented "your car is pretty quite and the suspension is a nice ride, not rough like most GTR's I've driven"

A bit surprising considering I'm running a 3.5" veilside exhaust, however, I am very happy with the tein superstreets!

The whole family are a decent bunch.

I went to school with a heasman (yes, related). I have used them too for an alignment. Found them professional, and knowledgable. Explained the issues I was having, and why the car felt the way it did. Only thing that stops me going back is it's not a convienant location at all for me.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
