Hi guys

My car is up for a service soon, and since I think I need a proper tune up (ie. maybe can get more power) and the car has a couple of niggling probs, I will take it to a mechanic.

Where in the Gold Coast (pref. Bundall, Ashmore area) is the best place to get a decent service, tune and check - where they will listen to you and actually check out the probs? I have taken my car for a couple of services now to one place and they never listen to what I ask them to check - ie. the noises are still there, still idles rough, gear slips, belts squeal at high revs etc etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

cheers,

Brett

id like to suggest 'Gavin Wood Auto Tech' (nissan specialist)

they do SKYLINE's daily and when you go past you can usualy see a GTR or some other form of imported NISSAN... they are a friendly helpful bunch and have serviced my car... i think a few people on these forums get serviced there?

decent prices too :(

1/23 Gibbs street, Labrador 4215 (kinda close to sub zero)

PH: 5529 2313

hope i helped... bye :burnout:

I can 2nd Gavin Woods. I think his labour is a bit more expensive, but hes so damn quick that you end up saving money.

I had a new engine put in my car by him. Took him 1 day. Hasnt missed a beat in the last 15,000kms and mechanic in melbourne said who ever tuned it last time did a great job.

Nizman, sky|ine and NismoGirl all use him I think.

OI...

I suggest Gavin. If I hadn't had been there none of yous would know about him!!

*I* suggested gavin woods in the first place and told all these mofo's to go there. :D

GAVIN GAVIN HE'S OUR MAN... IF HE CAN'T DO IT.. NO ONE CAN. :)

I should get big discounts for this hey :(

    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
