New To Adelaide

[looking for a skyline]

hi guys.

i have just moved from melbourne to adelaide. i have to get a regular service for my skyline. which place can u people suggest?

i live at prospect and work in the city, so any place nearby would be great for me.

also i noticed today that my rpm meter is flicking off big time. it used to work properly before. today i noticed that it justs flicks back-and-forth big time even for a small push of the accelerator.

hope someone can help me out.

BAD/dirty ground on the sensor connection most likely , unless you have hacked into the ECU harness, then look at that connection for loose wires ?

they seem to do awesome work for me everytime.....so its a +1 for me but might be a wee bit out of your way

boostworx do really good tunes and know what theyre on about

my preferred mechanical workshop is literally a street over, so I get mechanics done at Road & Track but get the nistune done by Shaun @ boostworx - I asked pete from PLMS who he would recommend for nistune specific tuning and he said shaun, and he was able to diagnose a fundamental error in the TDC setting on the stock cams.

Between the two workshops, you cannot go wrong

Another one for boostworx

[ISC-Performance]

would also recommend Boostworx.

a big negative on boost works.. going to last like 10 mins i know but worth it to save a sucker his time, car and money!

driving home after my 100k service to the 260.... sorry mate the work experience guy looked after ur car...

snapped BRAND new water pump

smashed radiator

spark plugs were done up very tight by hand.... could just get them off....

stilt brake fluid all over the brembos

i learnt the hard way to stop being lazy... save ur money mate... go speak to ur local repco and get them to sort you out

[Madaz]

how do you snap a water pump

and what did Shaun do for you about it

big deal things happen its how the workshop fixes things after they realise some thing has happened

i had brake lines fitted @ boostworx one of there former mechanics put them on and when car hit the road line was touching rim i cut 1 line Shaun couldn't be more apologetic and sent me to JIS to get a new line and it got sorted there and then same day

another +1 for boostworx.

Its not that far from Prospect - I'm at Enfield and its only a 5min drive.

I've only had good experiences - prices are good, they explain everything, and are passionate about imports.

True Steve........I've been around long enough to know that EVERY workshop has a horror story, BUT, it's how they handle you after the event.

Don't judge a workshop by their demeanour when everything is going honky dory, judge them when their backs are up against the wall......something my Dad used to tell me about the test of a person's true character.

As Steve and Sled have said.

Shit happens to the best of people. It's how they fix the problem.

I'm going to Push Morpowa. Simon and the guys there are great.

There more up your area also.

another -1 for boostworx. they told my wife that the ticking noise in her CA was just normal sounds that you get in the head, over time. "don't worry about it" they said.

it was a piece of the piston floating around the chamber with a bit of the top ring... fortunately we moved to QLD about a month later. unfortuantely, we drove the sil up. it got us to qld, but that was about it.

Also recommend Simon from Morpowa, my R34 used to run like a dream when I collected it after every service. He knows his shit.

ive gone to quite a few different places to get things done to my cars and theres a huge list of who id never use again.

but ive been really happy with smooth garage and willall racing.

prices are good, service is good and they both know what their doing!

wel they didn't f**ken handle me very well all Boostworx said to me was "we just blew your motor on the dyno by leaning out piston 6 and blew the ringlands, you can come pick your car up now"

NO APOLOGY at all especillay after i had just spent over $10,000 there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
