just want peoples experiance with them or anything u know on driftline, as this is another option that my car will be taken to get work on.. i think as a car enthusiast group we should all stick together on topics like this, keep the shit work shops out of business and the good ones running..

many people would be left with quality work from trusted workshops, insteed of making the same mistake over an over again, cause we cant post bad work done by a certain workshop.. pm me if needed, if driftline is shit tell me, i cant and alot of others cant afford to loose money threw a shit workshop with shit workmanship..

if people already no bad stuff from driftline then im not starting anything here, but if all comments are good with positive every were, then i have nothing bad to say except that my car will be going there..

if you no something bad or good just tell me, i am new to this sort of stuff..

big thanks chris..

I know nothing about them, but Shan aka funkymonkey was associated with them and just had his 32 sprayed matte or satin black by them...He was telling myself and another sau vic member to get our cars sprayed there, so I doubt they're dodgy.

lol yeah, i do some work for them when i get the time, but now I'm in brissy. My car's there atm in pieces gettin resprayed satin black.

we also did Adam's red widebody R32 and justine's blue s15 to name the more famous SAU members... plus we get a lot of regulars in an out from SAU... mostly to clear EPA's, dings, services, clutches, intercooler installs etc.

We try not to do half arsed jobs, unless the customer really demands it (ie doesn't wanna spend money and cut corners). We don't do "habib racing" jobs... and if you come in asking for one we'll tell you to GTFO. Mainly of late we've had people who got dodgy jobs done (like a dude who had his widebody kit superglued onto his car by some workshop... we had to grind it back to metal and redo it from scratch) who come in to get it fixed properly.

easiest thing to do is call Roshan on 0425855540 and talk to him... you can even say Shan sent ya off SAU and he might give you a warm hug when you walk in.

i brought my car from there almost 2 years ago, and have always gone back since.

since then rush has become a good friend of mine and will always help me out when it's needed.

he can be pricey, but once you go back to him a few times you build up a "trust fund".

if you want things done properly, he will do it properly. he's good for that.

he's been real busy at the moment and he's quite hard to catch, but he has his mechanic monty running the show when he's occupied.

They are a very capable and underated workshop that can do almost anything to all types of cars (not just inports)

considering when i visited last week they had a holden up on the hoist, and rush and his family all drive holdens for dailys.. haha.

so much shit he cops!

      R33 Rear Skyline Light Up Garnish

      By elohim_imanu · Posted

      I also built one, for a bit of a laugh. Pretty happy with it. Basically, obtained a clear garnish, painted it sanded back the paint off the letters, clear coated it. Inserted a 3cm EL strip through a slot I created in one end and sealed it up.

      So i brought a boat...

      By 84eighty · Posted

      wow so i just logged back in after buying the 33 and joining SAU, And I've got all a whole bunch of you wanting to know more, well unfortunately it still doesn't run i was hoping it was seized from a snapped timing belt as i turned it over by hand and it was fine and then it did a few revolutions and jammed solid when i was running it with the key, so the timing belt is mint, I've also found a lot of the parts I'm removing have already got bolts undone or not quiet tight enough to be unsuspicious. so the plan is to find a running RB30 block and chuck my head on it.  I have a habit of buying stuff I don't need or require so for my none running engine i have a forward facing plenum , Apexi power fc, 40mm Turbosmart wastegate, And for the car its self coilovers ,low seat rails and BRZ seats (black seats with red stitching i already had these and they are ADR Approved and allow rear passengers access)

      I took apart the dash and found this strange 2 pin connector. it dosen't seem like its factory or oem, any clue on why someone would add it and where it might have been connected too?
