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

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

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

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
