Hi all... Just moved down to Sydney from Central Coast/Newcastle and now I need to find a new mechanic close by. I live in Hills District and work around Norwest so something close to that or open Saturdays would be best...

Does anyone have any suggestions where to take my R33 to get a service/new clutch/etc?

Thanks in advance.

MRC in Castle Hill have looked after me. Mark is a great guy always helpful. Unlike some of the other workshops with a lot of less experienced boys working for them Mark and John do all the work themselves taking the risk out of it

The best mechanic by far in the Hills District is Mark at MRC in Castle Hill. He was the only person that used to touch my R32 GTR and now my R34 GTR! He explains everything so you understand whats going on. Im an extremely fussy person and there have never been a time where i was dissappointed in him!

96345399. Contact number for MRC-Mark

I have a friend who lives at West Pennant hills, she is looking for a trustworthy, honest mechanic to service her BMW. I think she might feel a bit funny going to a "performance" workshop, and I get the feeling they would probably be a bit pricier. Any recommendations?

Cheers

Ask her if she knows the Woolworths/Caltex Underneath Cherrybrook Village, the workshop has been there for 20 years, they do it right by the book for normal cars and Euros. I wouldn't take an import there though for anything more than oil change, one of the mechanics used to own a r33 GTR but he has since left. There are no other decent shops in Hills area.

To the OP,

+1 for Unigroup

+2 for Unigroup

+3 for Yavus @ Unigroup

tell your friend parramatta prestige

in north parramatta

not too far and pretty much the cheapest place in sydney for euro parts (asv is probably the cheapest) though the labour charge at parramatta is a lot more cheaper if you do parts + labour and there pretty honest about the work. Would not recomend anyone else for bmw's.

Also living in West Pennant Hills, i would honestly not take it to anyone nearby (not sure about the guys in castle hill as ive never dealed with them)

but i live nearby and take my car 30-60 mins away for any work done on it (have had minor bad experiences with few mechanics in the area, and most other mechanics prices are a joke if you want anything more than a basic service)

    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
