I was wondering if you guys know of anywhere on the northside to go for a wheel alignment on my R33 it has the Hicas and didn't know if this would cause problems for most places?

i did a search and i found that some people recomended bob jane at toombul?

I appreciate any input anyone has that has had a wheel alignment at a particular shop. how much did it cost also... :)

Cheers,

Danno.

There are only 2 places you can trust to do a perfect job every time, they are:

Fulcrum Suspensions (talk to Barry)

46 Webster Road,

STAFFORD 4053, Queensland, Australia

Ph: 3356 6733

Leda Suspension Services (talk to Bruce)

Unit 5, Cnr Johnstone Rd & Belconnen Crs Brendale QLD 4500

ph: (07) 3205 3165

Cost @95.00 for a 4 wheel alignment.

Never tried them so I cant comment Spooks, but I can say Bob Jane _CANT_ do it. They claim to be able to do 4WS, but HICAS is different to the Honda-style 4WS and they get confuddled I think. Fulcrum explained it all properly, but I forgot all the terminology they used. And besides, the words were big and scary.

dammit I got one done on the weekend and didn't even think about the 4ws! why would the HICAS need aligning though, they only move a tiny amount. Wouldn't diagnostic mode take care of this? if they were out of alignment wouldn't the HICAS light be on?

I just leave the rear alone. If the light comes on I get Fulcrum to do it. Bob Jane can do the front but they should not be let near the HICAS!!

I use Quickfit at Yerongpilly...

They do the 4, they also do alot of Club work incl scrutineering and suspension set up so they know what they are doing, well the 1 bloke I let do it does!!!

Ask for Jason if that is your side of town. I drive from Aspley to there to get it done...

I'm booked into Fulcrum tomorrow, for a 4 wheel alignment and balance... as i'm not happy with the job that Bob Jane did about 1000km ago... i'll let you know how it goes... (Caution, they're rather expensive... got quoted $120 for just the above)

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
