Booked the car in last week to have the timing belt and water pump changed...

Have to say I couldnt recommend these guys enough, they did it all with ease, even fitted a GTR n1 pump...

I went off to a confrence in the morning and picked it up just after 5 in the arfternoon... They were extremely helpfull and i'll be getting all my work done there in the future...

They can do pretty much anything I think, so give them a call next time your in the market for some mech work!

Agreed.

I recently had a heap of mods installed by Gavin and his team.

He also found other issues that I got him to fix too. It cost me, but in the end better than something major happening, and relieved that he found them at all.

I had my Apexi PFC installed by another mob in Brisbane - and apparently they left it a base tune. Grrr.

After Gavin properly tuned the ECU, the car feels great.

They get my business from now on.

here here...

I've owned my car coming on 3 and half years and Gavin is the only person other than me to have worked ondriven it.

We've been through exhaust sensors reading 4000 deg to cracking an exhaust manifold in half...I also, can't recommend him enough and am sure there will be many a good post to follow.

Well I travelled 30 hrs down and back from Townsville to see Gavin and he definately gets my vote the guy and his team were fantastic. He accomadated us very well taking the time out when i arrived to go through all the gear i had (quite a bit) for him to fit to my car and he understood that i was pushed for time and had to get back to townsville for work so just concentrated on my car for two weeks so it would be finished, he is definitely a dying breed in the auto industry where customer satisfaction comes first . :D

Oh, here we go.. Now everyone wants to blow his horn eh?

I've been saying for over a year that Gavin is the man for Nissan + tuning + service and people have said "no go to this place".

Meh, they are more friends to me now than a mechanic :)

Christmas card buddies.. you know the story :)

Best. Mechanic. Ever.

Still no one understands why I drive to laborador to get my car fixed/serviced. Now you all know why.

And if it wasn't for me sitting here saying "GO TO GAVIN... GO TO GAVIN" no one would have known about him :)

You all know how much I baby my car, and for me to trust him or any of the other mechanics in his workshops says a lot :)

We also need to give recommendation to the other guys in the workshop. They seem to be forgotten when people say "Gavin Woods" yet the other guys do most of the work while gavins off in other parts of the country doing tuning :)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
