Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a workshop/mechanic around the Frankston area to take my skyline too. It needs some very minor engine work done and basically just want it checked over at the same time. I had a look through the sticky at the workshops but i was wondering if there was anyone closer to me, Mornington / Frankston area.

My old mechanic was in Dandenong but to be honest i have had enough of his procastination and am looking for someone who will get the job done. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, either reply here or PM me please.

Cheers

Thanks for that, any other suggestions other than what is written in this sticky?

Also, any personal accounts/anecdotes? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to publicise... :D

Umm don't know about that comment mate, I'm from down that area and I know quite a few import owners down there including a fully built r32 gtr running a t04z, an s13 running a 280 rwkw rb25 and a certain yellow s15 pushing 260 rwkw just to mention a few.

As far as workshops go, I wouldn't look down our way tho, my friends and I all do our own work on our cars and take them out to the tuners (mainly re customs, dr drift and racepace). If you are really determined to have somebody down that way, APS know their way around "modified" cars, but the majority of them are 8's.

Depending on what the minor work is my friends and I may be able to help you out, we are down in morno most weekends

RE customs is deffinatly the go got me 300RWKWS out of my soarer and everything done promptly without oh the bill has gone up this much that much..

they are not that far i am in frankston an now i take my skyline there too..

speak to

I took my car for a dyno run at RE Customs.

Ray was really helpful, he did a pre check of the car and told me it was running lean and deffinately in need of a fuel pump and did not run it on the dyno to protect the car... He immediately impressed me and you can tell he knows his stuff. Also, I have heard nothing but good reports!

RE Customs are shit! For starters their prices are too low, thier quality of service is too high and they got more power out of the stock engine in my car than it was making on a built engine in a mates car on more boost, BASTARDS! hahaha jk jk Ray.

RE is awesome and I refer anybody I know to them, my mates GTR is down there now and another mates GTiR is going in there in the coming days for a tune

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
