Sunshine Coast Mechanics, Know Of Any Decent Ones?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any mechanics on the sunny coast that know a thing or two about imports.

I'm based in coolum and don't want to take my 35 to bris everytime I wanna get it checked out.

Any recommendations people?\

cheers

yeah, chapmans in cooroy is pretty good, they used to do work on my r30, and they should have a brand new dyno out there now.

well experienced crew out there

Yelp I gave him a call and had a good chat for about 20 minutes, he sounds like a top bloke. I'm going to swing by on thursday and have a chat with him.

I'm extremely happy I've found a good mechanic (with import experience) close by.

He did say say he's got connections in Japan, so no probs sourcing anything. Hhhmm what to get first... haha. Why do I feel like owning this car is going to be a costly experience

Good to hear. :)

it probably will be costly if u start with the modifying but hey, its all part of the fun owning a car isnt it.

if u dont mind me asking , where did u get your V35 from??

Haha very true

I got my car through J-spec. Was sitting at my computer one day and I got an email from them (am on the mailing list) with my car on it. By the end of the day it was mine.

I can't reccomend J-spec more highly!

Just got some more stuff done to my car... and marty now has his business up and running, here's some info off his business card if anyone else in the area wants to check him out, couldn't recommend him enough!

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
