IS motor racing Unit 5, 5-7 Bermill St Rockdale NSW 2216 TEL : 02 9599 9918 .... oppisite fitness first west botany steet in that side street (there is a little corner shop on the corner) in the little complex there.. perfect for u, its in ur area, they specialise in jap imports and they are one of the best around. i have always taken my cars there and so do all my mates. excellent work higly recomended!!!

Would recommened RICOL automotive at peakhurst.

probably the closest one to you :(

Excellent work and they wont rip you off. Have done plenty of work thru them over the years. They have set rates/per hour as well

my mate's on his 2nd warrenty rebuild from them, personaly i'd travel for a GOOD workshop, price and how close it is should come 2nd and 3rd. my 2 cent's

IS is good i've heard, even my mechanic reckons indy is a top bloke

I goto Maytech though, all the skylines i had and this car now are all taken care by Mayan, his workmanship is top notch, and i can safely say the cars he worked on, are all put back just as good as how it was from factory, no missing bolts, no missing covers here and there...

check out that red R32 GTR in the workshop which he rebuilt from ground up... sexiest thing i reckon..

I dont see how what I said was defamatory I didnt say OMG THEIR SHIT I HATE THEM just said

Edited. Read the forum rules and post appropriately please.

You still made a negative comment towards their business.

I have had some work done at this two places and if you have not selected your tuner then UNIQUE AUTOSPORTS, CRD is great choose.

I would do this, call and tell them what kind of power you want and decide which one will offer you the best chance to reach your goals

    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
    • Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.
    • I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
