Has anybody found a place in the ACT that actually knows how to properly wheel align a Skyline?

I made the mistake of taking mine to BoB F**king Jane F**king Tmart (yes, yes I know, but I had to get it done in a hurray before driving to Sydney, and they were the only ones that didn't seem to have any customers :boohoo: )

Anyways, the car pulls to the left now and they didn't even bother to centre the godamn steering wheel. Don't think I could be bothered going back there, cos even if they did try to fix it, they clearly have no idea what they're doing (I should have realised when they didn't offer me a printout with the alignment specs).

Would be great if someone knows a decent place that's open Saturdays too.

BTW - how many of you still have your HICAS running?

Yeah i took my stagea to pedders and it pulls to the left. i took it back, and they said they didn't know what was wrong, because acdcording to how they'd set it up, it should pull slightly right (to counter road camber) anywho, then they said it might be the tyres because they're a shit brand and have been driven on underinflated for a while from the damage they have (by previous owner) so they gave me a free wheel alighnment when i get new tyres

    • My crystal ball says that when they replaced the pads, they didn't replace all of the brake hardware (could be a missing shim, pin, spring, etc).  Finding a low dust pad should be very easy. Have a google for things like, low dust / soft pad compound / easy on rotors. Your dust primarily comes from the rotors getting eaten up by the pads. 
    • I think old mate is going to continue to hold out for awhile at that price
    • OBD1 is a catch-all term for pre-OBD2 which could have basically any connector design and protocol. I really don't understand this attitude against using data logging for issues that can be multi-causal and subtle. A no-start situation or something like that sure the scan tool does nothing but if it runs like shit it can often be a sensor issue. When a friend of mine reliably had issues with his N54 not able to stay running eventually I narrowed down the issue to a faulty fuel pressure sensor. Only way I could do that was a scan tool to look at the fuel rail pressure and see shadow codes for fuel pressure. Then check against a pressure gauge. Is reflexively firing up the data logger probably a bad habit? I guess, it can encourage people to not listen/observe but on these old OBD1 cars just taking a log really doesn't do anything by itself. You still have to synthesize everything you know and think about what it all means.

    • Yeah saw that video on YouTube. But he got a R grade (repaired) high mileage model and proudly advertised the fact it was super cheap and no doubt with issues. I wouldn't be going the cheap and nasty route.
