Im looking for workshops that have an emphasis on performance/import cars, so who better to ask than fellow skyline owners?

The reason being id like to get a job/career in this industry, as its one of my main passions, problem being, i don't know of many places that do this kind of work,and i only know them by name (croydon racing etc). So was wondering as you have already taken the time to open this thread could you spare 30 secs to post any places you know of that do work on cars like ours? I know this question gets asked alot, im not asking you to find me a job, just any suggestions of workshops that fit the description, and ill do the fun part of rocking up and asking for an apprenticeship :P

I figure once i get a list of acouple i can ask them of similar places/if they know anyone who might be interested. I live in cranebrook at the moment, and i don't mind travelling into the city for the right sort of job.

thanks.

I know some people on here take their cars to Unigroup, which is in Girraween. http://www.unigroup.com.au/Home.html -- The owners name is Yavuz. I've heard nothing but good things so far about this workshop.

Next year when I get some work done I'll most likely go there.

I would steer clear of some names in that list, I've seen terrible tuning performed by some of those names. I had to retune a mate's ET Turbo Pulsar when he brought it to one group in that list. His timing was all over the place and those morons has around 25 degrees adv on full load, no wonder his car was pinging off its tits.

But definately Unigroup, they're awesome!

+1 some of the names on Moonus list are suspect. You couldnt go wrong with Unigroup or Croydon Racing.

only places i would go are:

MRC performance

Unigroup Engineering

had too many bad experiences with a few of the other mentioned workshops.

Both Yavuz (unigroup) and Mark (MRC) spend the time and make sure everything is spot on. they wont try and get the big numbers but place more emphasis on what the car is used for and driveability and both are very thorough

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
