Want Performance Modifications Done To Your Car Cheap Money Wise? If So, Look In Here


Recommended Posts

yep, and because if they seriously stuff something up, then have insurance to cover it etc .... oh, plus they issue a tax invoice including GST, which I can claim for my business expenses.

But I wish I didn't have to get things done professionally, as  

1). EVERY single workshop (except GT Autosound) have ripped me off to the hilt ($70-$90 per hour is RIDICULOUS!!), and  

2). Most of them don't actually do good quality work (again GT Autosound excepted) - and most don't give a crap about you or your car, they are interested in getting your job done and the next one in the door.

My 2c

i've heard a bit about gt autosound and seen their drift and drag car but thats all i've heard! What are they, a performance workshop with a dyno or what? what kind of work do they do! prices etc!

I have decided to just wait and save for a power FC and a FMIC bleeders don't come too highly recommended from a friend... so I guess Ill wait till then and then perhaps get a hold of you for that installation! Cheers anyway!

GT Autosound are mostly doing car audio, and some basic mechanical things too. They have no dyno, but are high quality at a good price.

Yep, I've taken a good look and there isn't a whole buch of room to plum piping or a homemade snorkle.

Check the bottom of the CAI thread

Cheers

co-incidently today while i help install a mates fmic, i noticed that he had a cai box for his car although it was on a r33. Now im unsure of the dimensions of its compared to the space in the 32, but if its similar i can use my friends cai as ad mould that to fit your's. btw do you know if the r32 gtr engine bay - where the pods are similar to the r32 gtst's even though the gtr has 2 pods there.

  • 3 weeks later...

is the area where the pod filters are in the engine bay for gtr/gtst's the same. I was thinking cai for gtr's would be a little bigger as it uses two pods instead of one?

Hi Nozila

Mate I have a dump pipe and cat I need to install in my car to replace the factory one, Do you do this type of job? if so how much would I be looking at? and when can you do it?

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
