He's not really near Alexandria, but I can recommend Mark out at MRC Performance at Castle Hill. Fair prices, no B.S, generally nice guy. He built/services my mates 180, it's pretty neat/tough & he is pretty fussy with who touches his car.

I just re-entered the world of Skyline ownership myself, and Mark will be looking after it too.

His site is:

http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/

search function is there to be used.

Topic covered 11ty times.

also, if you want a cheap place, you'll end up spending more as thats what it is...cheap!

unigroup in Toongabbie/7 hills is where Id take it

If i wanted a mechanic 3 hours drive i would have used the search tool. I specifically put Alexandria because i wanted some places around Alexandria. But thanks for your recommendation, ill give em a call.

theres nothing really near alexandria whos got a name for skylines so you'll have to travel if you want it done by someone who isn't learning on your car.

I recomend both Envy and Unigroup, envy is my choice if i had to choose, and nowhere in sydney is 3 hours drive away from anywhere in sydney even in peak hour lol. Took my car to unigroup and he doesn't try and sell you everything under the sun when you service with him, he gives his advice and his 2cents worth, but he doesnt pressure you if its not something that doesn't have to be done if you understand what i'm trying to say??? Basically he doesn't try to upsell you and change things "incase" they were to break in the future unless there is reason behind it.

Tunehouse in Marrickville is pretty close to you. Thats where i take my car and i highly recommend them, they definitely wont be "learning" on your car. High Performance Imports gave them "best dyno cell/workshop in australia" in their 2009 yearbook. You can be the judge.

9557-4000 or http://www.tunehouse.com.au/

actually i'm wrong, i forgot about tunehouse, they the only place within like 15km or more radius of you that is decent, but from what ive heard there are just as many positive feedback as there are negative feedback,

Brookvale and unigroup tend to have only positive feedback and ive never heard anything negative about either at all...

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
