Hi all. Got myself a r32 gtst and during the inspection the mechanic said that the front wheel bushes (i think thats what he said) were worn and needed replacing and the air con needed regassing as it was not cold at all.

So anyone can recommend me any workshops that do these? I should also be getting the car serviced (check oil, check for leaks and stuff) at that workshop at the same time (scared of car dying on me while i'm driving in the middle of nowhere :Oops: ) since I'm there.

Thanks for any "positive" inputs :P

And by the way my rear wheel tyre threads are getting very thin and I will need to change my rear tyres my friend told me to go tempe tyres should i go there? Just seeking more suggestions from fellow forummers.

:D

I've been there heaps, and Grey Imports in Annandale do great work :)

Ask for Nathan, but you might need to call first they are pretty busy atm 9557 5938

BTW it is probably wheel "bearings" that were noisy and need replacing

And yes Tempe can be very cheap but for gods sake don't buy the Falken 326 they always sell, they are terrible tyres

It's cos if you're fully sick FALKENS ARE SICK BRO...

I wish I got money every time I have to explain people brands can have different tyre models and they look at me like a dumbass and reply "I've heard falkens are good" or whatever other brand their mechanic sells.

PS. When my driverside bearing was buggered (as it was tightened too tight by some retard before I got the car) it only ground (grinded?) when I turned the car one way - this may give you a clue.

tempe tyres is a sh1t load cheaper than just about any other tyre retailer I can think of.

Grey Imports are a great little shop. above all else they are good guys and won't screw you over.

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
