If you in Glenwaverley area then i would take you car to Waverley Service Centre for any problems with your car. They are just opening a new work shop at 7a aristoc road in G/W, its the road opposite the waverley pools. They have worked on my car every time and are quite good with their prices. If you need a lift anywhere they can take you, or lend you a coutersy car. They close this friday, and open in their new location on tuesday.

I used to take my ea ford to waverly service station. good service but they are always very busy and sometimes miss things. they forgot a bolt on my clutch cable once and got me a little stranded half way to echuca.

i take my car to sabbadin Automotive in mulgrave, just near the corner of springvale and wellington road.

ph: 9560 3440

good work, good prices and rob always had time to have a chat about your car

cheers,

Rich

yeh...they use to be in waverley rd rite beside the pool but since moved to myrtle st (the street right opposite)..

the reason why i ask if anyone has taken their cars there for a service is to see if he has done a good job or what. from my personal experience i wundt recommend him at all. reason being he took 4 days to fit a clutch into my car. not only that i have had to take it back to the shop 4 times since he has fitted it due to him doing what i think is a 'dodgy job'.. this was because he either didn't bleed the clutch properly and since having the clutch fitted i also have had problems with my 4wd not working properly. after 4 times taking the car back to him (a total of 13 days carless) and having to get a second clutch fitted (luckily under warranty), the car is still not running right and the clutch is still slipping and 4wd still not 100%.

sori to vent my frustrations about this but i guess im just letting fellow skyline drivers not to take ur pride and joy to GSB in glen waverly, for such a straight foward job - u cud take it somewhere else to get quality work done.. dont get me wrong - the main mechanic/owner (george) is a nice guy, just seems like he took every opportunity to cut corners..

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
