Im Farz, just bought myself a 1992 Soarer GT-TL. My previous car was a 2002 Magna Executive. So far im loving the car and wouldnt want to change to anything else.
There is however one down fall to my new purchase... The deadly !BONG! , ABS and Jap writing coming up everytime I put the keys to ignition
I've read up on the issue and understand that the DVS needs replacing and the Accumilator needs either regassing or replacing.
I'm taking the car down to "Sports and Luxury" in Ferntreegully tomorrow to get an all round check up, service and the ABS issue fixed.
Does anyone know how much this will all set me back? Even a rough estimate would b good to make sure im not getting over charged.

Welcome Farz. I dont know much about the TTs or the nitrogen accumulators for that matter. But the only word I've heard about Sports and luxury is that of praise. I doubt you will be charged too much. Many of my soarer buddies take their pride and joys there so you should be ok. Welcome.

welcome farz! let us know how you go with sport and luxury and if they manage to get rid of that annoying 'BONG' i too have the abs warning everytime i start the car.
So I took the car down to Sports and luxury and with just a few hours worth of labour the problem was identified and fixed. Set me back $613. Impeccable service, I would highley reccomend them. ask for Doug, he really knows his stuff.
I now have another problem the brakes work fine however when im coming to a stop (<3km/h) the cars breaks pulse and i can feel something in the engine bay pulsating too.
Im guessing this is the accumilator, I know that regassing is a temporary fix but due to my financial situation I cant afford a refurbished unit to be fitted at the moment. Does anyone know where in Melbourne would regass it for me? I live in Doncaster area...

Brake accumulator needs regassing or perhaps it leaks and you need a swap. Lots of threads about it. The bong will say "breakey shistem" or something like that if you write it roughly in english '
You already listed that:

good stuff mate! what was the problem. as for the accumulator. i'm not sure if you can regas them easily but take it to any motorbike shop. i used to get my dirtbike shockies regassed for nothing at bike shops. they can get crazy pressures into the little canisters. the accumulator i think needs somewhere around the 2000psi mark?? do not quote me on this tho!

ahh. i have resorted to removing my relays sometimes to stop the annoying abs pump switchin on every 3 or 4 seconds. the noise drives me mad sometimes but the bong is more annoying. i have bled my brakes but it seems as tho i also need to regas or get a replacment accumulator.
