Just got back from the Mechanic payed an unanounced visit to see how things were going, well all is good to say the least after the car had been to another mechanic 2-3 months ago to have the boost controller set up(which was not done ) and I asked for this to be done as well as a report on anything the car needed doing to make it spoton as I had just bought it the car had been on the dyno lost a heap of power and none of the problems were found like the leaking turbo base gasket and the leaking exhaust gasket bolts missing and a cracked turbo manifold,but he did tell me I needed a halteck computer at $4000 mine was ok and could be sold. Well he did himself out of a heap of dollars the new bloke is nothing short of a legand he has had the turbo resurfaced the the manifold repaired and resurfaced the waste-gate to bits and new springs and the list goes on as well as saveing me a heap of dollars that I was prepared to spend just to get the car right. He said I would not believe it was the same car when I get it back he fixed the bits that needed fixing and in the long run will save me heaps of cash and the car will not be off the road every other week and has kept me up to date with the whole deal while he has had the car.

So if you are in need of a straight shooting no crap value for money mechanic that will look after your car like you do give Rob a call 0402 985 475 or drop in he is at Advanced automotives at Kings Meadows opposite Cash converters Tell him Ginger sent you when I go back Friday I am going to hit him up for a descount for SAU members keep you posted on how that goes :ph34r:

ginge, you need to do something about how you present your stories, my eyes hurt after that

Jangles Im hearing you but there are two things that matter in all this my car and my money and Rob has come through in both cases when others have let me down and the other guys n girls out there need to know when one finds a genuine mechanic as we all need one from time to time and a good one is hard to find that aint got his hand in ur ass pocket all the time for shit you dont need :D

Car is comeing along nicely just waiting for the final touches on the head and then it can be put back together, be good to get it back.

Rob came to the party with some discount for SAU members 5% and that is on your daily driver as well just as long as you are a member and mention that when you are talking to him. Who knows we push a bit of work his way and we may be able to push him for 10 % and that will be good for me as well as everyone else ;)

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
