Hey guys i was just wondering where you get your skylines serviced, in particular gtr's? I got my gt-t serviced at unley nissan and they did a good cheap at a decent price but was just seeing where other people went, im sure this has been covered before but couldnt be bothered searching! my car had its 50,000km service done in japan in november last year so looking for somewhere to carry on with the logbooks from then. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Like many have said, a genuine nissan service will give you a good logbook, but you'll pay thru the nose. There are some great 'tuner' based mechanics around, such as Boostworx and Tillbrooks, however for my money I go to Road n Track (Gil Camerons workshop), as I've been with them for a long time and they've never let me down... theyre close to me (tillbrooks is closer) but I've had nothing but top service from the guys at road n track. Theyve done a lot of street machines, sprint cars, exotics and their fair share of imports too... the guys who work there are really into the job, most of them race either sprint cars or targa tassie, couple guys do the adelaide classic.... if any of u guys have heard of charlie kovacs, his car was built by these guys..

Going back there in a month to get a stupid amount of stuff fitted. ECU, cam gears, gauges, clutch, gearbox, fuel lines. It wont be cheap, but it'll be cheaper than some, and Im really happy with the tunes that Ive gotten there. Check my sig :P

if you want to go by the book and get ripped off (most places) go to the dealers, if not theres plenty of other mechanics who would do services for a lot less boostworx, tilbrook, hitech dyno tune these guys work on jap imported cars every day

hope it helps

For known quality service go to known workshops like ones mentioned in this thread... for pretty logbook and having your car worked on by f**k knows who go dealers.

I personally do what I can and what I cant I take it to any known workshops that can get the work done soonest.

im pretty sure there isn't one thing i haven't done to a car in the way of services, manual conversions, engine conversions, turbo conversions, injectors, suspension, wiring looms (from the start), custom manifolds, exhausts, diffs, clutches, full rebuilds (now doing rotarys) trans and tuning!! but when it comes down to it unley nissan have information and equipment for these cars that no one else does, their technicians need to go learn about each car etc, so if i didn't do it all myself i would go to unley nissan for a service anyday. They are qualified and in the game, They get beaten down to their knees if a vehicle comes back with issues.

Thats cool then - personally though I would feel better taking my car to a known reputable workshop that has been tried and proven... but seeing people talking highly of Unley Nissan I may consider them for future references.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
