Hi All,

Not related lines but

Where in Canberra would it be good to take a rotor to get pre-purchase inspection done-

You know check out the car before I put down some of my blood, sweat and tears [money]

Cheers

PS: i have done a search for "rotor, rotary" in the ACT froum and got nothing!

Just a pre-purchase inspection?

Ultimate Tunes in Phillip have had a lot of rotors going through there for years, a few of their mechanics have them as well.

I used to take my old wagon there for all it's work, they always did a good job on it too.

Cheers guy's!

I just don't want to be buying a rx7 where the second turbo won't spool or engine need a rebuild.

Also to give me a heads up on what work the car requires so it can be factored into the price nego.

Once again thanks for the replys!

Reliance is my pick. even though they are rotary specialists they did the 1JZ conversion on my RA23 celica 6 years ago and i was damn impressed with their work.....would rival most bigger and better known shops in other major cities

John Waterhouse (owner of Reliance) built the motors for the Bathust SP RX7's in the 24 hour races, and would probably be best for the diagnosis/check up. However, for an engine rebuild I'd use John Gotrel (@ Hume, but many years since I've had any contact).

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
