Mechanical Inspection In Helensvale On Weekends?

Recommended Posts

Hi all

I'm thinking about buying this Skyline in Helensvale, but I live in Brisbane so I'm not familiar with the area. I had planned to get RACQ to inspect the car, but they can only do it on weekdays and the car is only available on weekends.

Does anyone know a suitable mechanical inspection service in or around Helensvale that's available on weekends?

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: I'd prefer a really thorough service, like the RACQ Master Check.

Gavin Wood is the closest off the top of me head (his workshop is only like 5 minutes down the road, close to harbour town) and looking at some of the feedback here he is very knowledgeable on skylines. He does however charge accordingly... This skyline happen to be a 32 black ? :(

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
