Hey everyone, just wanted to plug a local business in my area for going above and beyond the call of duty. I needed some prices on getting some braided lines made up to suit the new turbo. Not only did this guy go out if his way after business hours to come to my house to see what I needed, but he was also a couple of hundred dollars cheaper on the total job.

They are:

Bayside Hose and Fittings.

07 3286 9354. Located at Unit 1, 57-63 Shore Street Cleveland.

He has been in the industry for 20 years doing hoses and fittings. They can do anything from brake lines to fuel lines and much more.

This post is directed to praise any local businesses you may have had work done by or bought something from. Let everyone know who these businesses are, what services they provide and what you liked about them the most.

DJ Sivyer Mechanical 3290 2967 if you want to book something in tho, ring him about a week before, sometimes he gets rather booked up.

Pretty much the same as above, just went out of his way to help. Obviously he wont be able to do that for everyone but the point is, if he has too he can. Its not a flat no.

great stuff.. I actually need some lines fairly soon to hook my RB25 turbo up (for a stop-gap till I get a larger one). Think I will be giving them a call. Do they have a good knowledge of RB engines - e.g. can I just go "I want a water line for rb25 turbo onto rb20 block" and they'll know what to send me? :cheers:

Well I have only just started dealing with him but I'm sure he would have no trouble. I wasn't sure what thread was on my GT25 oil supply line but he is going to try to find out.

You pretty much just have to tell him the width of the banjo fitting and give him the lines and he can modify your existing RB20 lines to suit the 25 turbo.

That's what I am getting done.

The oil supply banjo to the block is being removed and put onto a braided teflon flexible line and the two water lines are just being cut back about 15 cm and silver soldered teflon braided lines about 2 inches longer and putting on the 14mm banjo heads as opposed to the 17mm standard ones. This means I will be able to move the line easily into position without effort.

He really only services the bayside area but if you are willing to travel, he is a very helpful person.

mmm ..problem is that I need to do it in one day, car on the road the next, it's my only registered car atm. Some good lines allround could be worth it however, as I am starting to lean towards the highflow rb25 idea - then I only do things once.

anyhow, offtopic .. sorry!

Does he cut phat beats whilst he fixes your car? :)

LoL, kinda... for a work shop hes got the best radio set up I've ever seen!

Also for tiles, carpet, timber floors etc, go to Oztop Crn Compton Rd, and Allgas St.

Ask for me, I'll do what I can, but if you want cheap s hit tiles, dont bother, we just dont have them.

Just got my suspension done at Fulcrum Suspensions STAFFORD.

I also bought all the bushes from them as well. Even some bushes I didn't need cause I had fully adjustable pillowball type arms in.

They were more then happy taking them back

I can tell you that these guys are real professional's - very happy!!!!

I gave them all the settings for alignment front and rear - caster, camber, toe in - etc

When I got the car back, all I can say is perfect!!! Dead straight steering wheel and car goes straight, not like some of the alignments I got done before.

Also got a full report with all the setting on a print out.

Barry was the guy I dealt with there and you couldn't ask for better advice or service.

My local exhaust shop guy is a bloody legend. Check out Vaughn over at MUFFLERPRO Seventeen Mile Rocks (Western Suburbs).. this guy runs a very honest and friendly operation.

The crew down there are heros and deserve trophies some of the stuff they have acheived :(

These guys charge very very reasonably for the work they do as well, and your more than welcome to come in and have a look under the hoist and see whats going on.. theres no attitude problems about having a look at whats going on in the workshop.

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
