OK, I know this is gonna be a common question, but I searched in importing forum, and couldn't find anything of much use, and I figured that most of you guys would have used one workshop or another, so I need some recommendations on these workshops:

JAPANESE SPORTS AUTO

34 091 929 270 PRESTON VIC AUSTRALIA

SEI MOTORS

90 096 964 546 DANDENONG VIC AUSTRALIA

SKYLINE AUSTRALIA PTY LTD

30 097 662 443 DANDENONG VIC AUSTRALIA

PERFORMANCE VEHICLES PTY LTD 2

3 103 540 905 BAYSWATER VIC AUSTRALIA

IMPORTED VEHICLE COMPLIANCE CENTRE

72 109 401 470 CRAIGIEBURN VIC AUSTRALIA

By name alone, skyline australia seems pretty good, anyone dealt with them? Or any of the others?

I'm kind of after people who have personally dealt with these companies. I'm dealing with a stock GTS-4, so there shouldn't be any worries about removing mods or anything.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

R32 or R33 or R34?

R32.

this is the car:

and some hi res pics:

I'm more looking for someone to say: I went to XXX and while their price was $, the guy was pretty cool, and I was happy with the result.

If someone sucked, they can PM me.

Also, is SAU sure about the legal ramifications? As far as I am aware, forum boads count as public conversation, which, unlike, say a radio broadcast, is not covered by libel, provided people posting are not representatives of any competing companies.

But, hey, I'm not too concerned about all that, because I understand that the people running this site would rather err on the side of caution, though I would like some feedback, (positive or negative) on the above workshops. If it's negative, please PM me.

Its defamation in a lot of cases. So yes, there certainly are ramifications as SAU is therefore allowing it

Anyway, its not a discussion point, its the rules.

No worries at all.

But it also says that positive feedback is OK, and that negative feedback is tolerated in PM's, which is all I ask for.

So, back to the point, if you've had a car complied by these guys, let me know here if it was good (might be able to help others too) and PM me if it was dodgy.

The list again:

JAPANESE SPORTS AUTO 34 091 929 270 PRESTON VIC AUSTRALIA

SKYLINE AUSTRALIA PTY LTD 30 097 662 443 DANDENONG VIC AUSTRALIA

JAPANESE PERFORMANCE VEHICLES PTY LTD 23 103 540 905 BAYSWATER VIC AUSTRALIA

Thanks to those already helping me, I'll call around monday with quotes, and choose then, at the moment, it's really between Skylines Australia and JPV.

have a search in the vic section. I'm sure that at one stage a few months ago there was talk of a good compliancing workshop, but im not sure which one that was....

I had a look there, but I couldn't find any info that was relevant, they were all R33 compliancers, or under the old system.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
