Looking For Reliable Mechanic On North Shore

[Darky]

Hi guys,

Long time since posting here but hoping someone has the information I need.

Car has started idling very loudly, with intermittent chirping noises coming from the belts. Last service I had the mechanic stated the drive belt would need to be changed next service or the one after that.

Also, with cold starts the car has a whirring whine that changes pitch when I accelerate but seems to dissipate as the car warms up.

These problems have been developing over the last 48 hours, so very new.

I had been getting my car regularly serviced at UAS when they were in Castle Hill but their new premises is far too inconvenient for me to travel to now. I work in Chatswood, so I'd prefer to find a mechanic somewhere in the area.

Also if you have any suggestions about what the problem could be, I'd appreciate the words of wisdom

I'm driving a 1994 R33 GTS-T M-spec, virtually no modifications.

Thanks for your time if you've read this far,

Alex

Hi mate is Hornsby too far out of your way?

I use and recommend Dennis at Grim Performance: 0407950180

Also as far as the whirring whine is concerned, it probably means one of the belts needs adjusting. Mine screeches to high heaven when I start her up in the morning then after the engine is no longer cold, it doesn't happen again until next morning.

Alex, sounds like the car just needs a good service with a new set of drive belts, and/or possibly a timing belt.

It might be worth checking out City Performance in Hotham Parade, Artarmon.

belt needs tightening most likely, had the same problem last year, it's a god awful noise hey

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.

I think I'll give City Performance a go.

I can also recommend Northern Beaches Performance at Brookvale (they've moved), although it may be a little to far for you to travel from Chatswood.
