Hi Guys,

Well I just moved to Brissie recently and brought my R34 over with me from WA. So being new over here I don't know any of the workshops, So if anyone could recommend some places near me where I could get some good quality work done (and at a decent price) would be great.

I am currently living in Sherwood, so I'm close to Moorooka/Indooropilly (if that helps), and currently I'm looking to get a new 3" full stainless steel exhaust system fitted and soon some Coil-overs. Also my car is almost due for a service (I used to do it myself back in Perth, but since moving here I don't have the space or the tools to do it at the moment).

So if anyone knows a good exhaust place and maybe somewhere that will take good care of my car for a service would be really helpful. Also any other suggestions of good workshops for any future work I get done is appreciated.

Thx for any help. :D

Dan at Elite Racing Developments, he's at Alex Hills (bayside) but is worth the short trip. He'll do an oil change all the way through to full engine builds and I've not seen anyone who looks after customers better.

For exhaust work I have been to Rob Bliss Exhausts and was extremely happy with the work done.

yeh maby they are..ive just had bad dealings with them.. ive had my car there.. and 2 of my mates had theres in there all around the same time.. and all 3 came out with other problems that the cars didnt have before they went in..also a mate of mine used to work there and he even advises strongly against going there. fair enough they have a way bigger workshop and alot more cleaner then ttr but all the things ive had done and mates had done at ttr every 1 has been 100% happy with the job and the price...

so if you want to go to predator and pay $2500 for a frontmount on a stocko skyline $2500 to install standard clutch.. $700 to put an airpod on.. $400 to install turbo timer.. you could even spend tens of thousands and take there advise.. then within a week or 2 the airpod sucks thru your turbo sending shit every were.. costing you over $15000 just cause you took Matt Simpsons from predators advise...

(When really he isnt even a qualified machanic) true fact that

(i could go on for ages with storeys of f**k ups from there)

ahh sorry if i seem like a bit of a wanker... its just alot of money ive seen be spent in that shop just to spend more money to fix there f**kups

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
