My bro has a stock na z32, its running a bit rough (not too bad), not idling well and has a few oil leaks, and theres a few other little things wrong with it, and I cbf fixing it.

Can anyone suggest a good place to take it that won't rip him off? Located in south melb so somewhere reasonably close would be good.

Somewhere without a 3 week wait would be nice, want to get it in the shop this week.

...and would it run with an rb20 AFM :D

thanks bry :D

you have a number of choices -

Name: R E Customs

Contact: Ray

Number: (03) 9548 3414

Location: 16 Yiannis Court, Springvale

Ray will sort out any problems for a decent price - def recommend, as they have the right tools for any job.

GSB Automotive

Contact: George Bittar

Location: 37 Myrtle Street Glen Waverley

Number: (03) 9561 0321

My car is currently at GSB Auto getting a few things fixed up. Its taking time, but George keeps in touch to let me know where my car is at. Pretty good prices too.

Def recommend any of these 2. Oh and GSB has a courtesy car as well if you live ages away.

Good luck finding someone now, with only 2 weeks before Christmas/New Year closure, most w/shops will be FLAT out :D

If RE is not too far from you, you can try Sabbadin Automotive, only a 2 min drive from RE.

No thanks to Ray, previous experience with him and a mates car weren't good.

I'm after something that will take a week tops, as my bro is going away soon

Then try GSB - but as Al said most workshops close up around this time.....i think gsb will be closed from the 21st till the 7th. But def worth giving george a call and get him to look at the car.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
