Hey all.. I moved back to perth from qld last year.. have an r32 gts4 which I had shipped over but has been in storage for about six months now. I am looking for a really genuine mechanical workshop (had an awesome one over in brissy if anyone ever needs a number).

Need to put her over the pits, so looking at getting a bit of basic stuff done.. but also looking at spending some decent cash on doing her up a bit. Few performance mods, new bodykit, custom paint, mags. A shop that happy to work with u and ur ideas but tellin ya 'thats a shit idea' if it is. (old mechanic great for that, upfront on everything.) Cost isnt important, but some who can do it for what they say and not spin bs is always respected :) time frame of work is irrelevant. thanks heaps for any recs.

also spent two hours this morn searchin for pics/web sites for bodykits, bout to start bashing head on keyboard... if anyone can give any good links would be much appreciated :(

cheers xp

Welcome to SAUWA. And is this your first post in 2 years? Lol

I work at Malaga Auto Repairs in Malaga, and we do this sort of thing quite alot, fixing up cars to get them over the pits. Not sure if the boss will accept yours, but its worth a try. My boss is very honest, and wont scam you at all. The number is 9249 2775.

Other then that, have a look at the Workshop thread at the top of this page. You'll find some good info in there.

As for bodykits, you cannot go past Fibrevision in Welshpool I think it is. Do a search on the net, and you should come up with a number.

This thread is a summary of workshops/smash repairers etc, so should help... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html

Lately I've been going to Tenagah Motorsports, found them to be excellent ...so I definitely recommend them for upgrades & services.

Should be easily able to do any work required to get your 32 over the pits also.

As for panel & paint work, can't go past Damage Control, top notch.

+1 for Tenagah Motorsport

Abdus is a champ

as for getting it over the pits and if you want all that kinda stuff done as well as mods all in the one place, go to Danny at Imports101

he bought an R34 JUST for compliance and parts for the pits... doesn't use it for anything else, he's put way too many R32's through the pits to not know what needs to be done upside down and inside out...

+1 for Imports101

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
