I think it would be a good idea, if we perhaps got some sort of list with good workshops going. I know we can't say bads things about workshops or garages, but if we got a list of shops people have been to, or regularly go to would be great. There's so many 'performance' places around, but how many are good ? Basically anyone who knows turbo's and skylines.

Ok these are the people that I have used for various bits and pieces and they have all be very good and professional and are all familiar with skylines and imports.

Drive Car Automotive

2C/88 Lever Street

Albion Brisbane

PH: 38624522

Speak to Mark

I get my car serviced here, he is a good honest guy and doesn't charge the earth. Knows skylines and most other imports pretty well.

Gavin Woods Autotech

1/23 Gibbs Street

Labrador

PH 55292313

Fixed my wheel bearing at a reasonable price :P I will be going back to get my SAFC fitted and tuned as they are very good with Nissans and Apexi gear.

Rob Bliss Exhausts

264 Robinson Road

Geebung Brisbane

32652044

Fitted up my exhaust. Did a good job at a great price. They are very helpful with suggestions plenty of suggestions on how to get the sound you want, how to eliminate drone etc.

I have been screwed around by a lot of other places in Brisbane with my current car, but the three above have all been very helpful and professional and will continue to get my business and recommendations.

Subzero Performance.

quite a few quick cars have come out of the shop with alot more to come in the future.

gts-t's: 10.9 @ 127mph

10.6 @ 127mph

10.06 @ 139mph

GTR: 3-4 GTR's 11.7-11.8 @ 118mph+

11.3 @ 130mph

there should be a few more gts-t coming out in the next 2-3 months that should run 10's no probs.

nearly everything is made in house, from inlet plenium, exhaust manifolds, intercoolers, radiators, oil coolers, exhausts systems, flywheels, external wastegates and much more. not to many places can say they make everything in house.

Yes but have any of you actually had them do any work on your cars? I think places that you have actually had first hand experience with are more relevant to this thread than reports that "these guys are ok cause I heard it from my mate whoe heard it from a friend of a friend who read it on the net somwhere".

Nothing against Subzero at all, they could be the bee's knees but how about a comment from people who have actually had work done? What you had done, what the cost was like, what the service was like, what the quality of work was like.

Hi guys,

I use APC on Brisbane's southside. They seem to be pretty good to me. So far they have replaced my coils, installed boost controller & guage and serviced the car.

They also work on a yellow mistu evo 3 that ran at the drag combat. And other performance cars. So I guess they are doing something right.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.

      You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
