Workshop List...

[Birty]

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.

[Zer0]

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.

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.

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

Geebung Brisbane

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.

[Birty]

Thanks zero, hopefully 'some' good will come from your pain

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.

I have read and heard some good things about subzero to...

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.

[PVL-747]

i'm currently getting work done there (subzero). RB30/26, T76 turbo, custom plenium & exhaust manifold, big cooler, 62mm external wastegate, lunati rods, ARP stud kit & bolts, oil coolers, very similar motor to TRY09's but with a few improvements. i've had no probs with the boys there. good quality work, many cars have been featured in Zoom, street commodores, hot4's etc...

[PJKJ]

My mate actually had work done there and I was there through it all and he didnt have any problems they were quite good.

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.

Eek

[PVL-747]

yes, the white Vl is mine.

[PJKJ]

Just curious are there any respectable workshops around the western side of Brisbane.

Cheers

[NismoGirl]

[JNR79]

Forgot to mention his own car:

Nissan 260Z, RB26DETT.......... with some serious mods!!!

[NismoGirl]

We get *ALL* our work done at AutoTech run by Gavin Woods and this great team at Labrador..

I have referred quite a few people onto this workshop and everyone has had nothing but praise for the work and price.

[crooser]

I have had work done at Charlie's Motors in the 'gabba.

David (assuming he's still there) is the particular guy i would recommend from there to speak with.

There is no substitute for enthusiasm.

Stay away from the "we do heaps of these things" blokes.
