Hey guys,

Had a friend who took his skyline to Autostyle Garage at Beverly Hills just for a minor servie, i went with him... amazing work going through there- R35's, Ferrari's, Porsche's, Lambo's, etc. They were working on a 1100HP+ Supercharged XB Falcon while i was there, off its head. Believe it or not, reasonably priced too for a mechanics who you'd think would be expensive dealing with the prestiege market... What does everyone else think of the service there? whoose been there?

I sore they had the TUFGTR, the black one... nutts. lol! RB26 2.8L stroker kit making 650KW ATW :O

Thanx for the message there Dan... as established, that happened along time ago! New management & ownership are running the workshop now!!

I still recomend Autostyle, im thinking also of taking my car there for some work. I do know they do FREE QUOTES over the phone, thats how we booked in the service on the Skyline (R34), i think the number is 9570 1066 and the best guy to speak to is Frank lol

Could you share the story with me as well. I'm looking for a new mechanic to service my v35.

Me too please if you don't mind. You always hear the good stuff publicly but it's behind closed doors that the bad stuff comes out too.

Also this thread sounds very much like an ad. Are there places that don't do free quotes over the phone? Or do you mean quote as in the beverly hills place will quote you and honour it, because I've found that if there's one broken or worn or corroded bolt or something the labour price goes up and the quote goes out the window...

haha i run an advertising/PR business, apologies if any language or wording used implied that.. dont mistake this for an advertisement, i was just wondering peoples opinion of the workshop and if anyone else had gone there from the forum?

It is sad to see though that one story from 3years ago brings bad attention to the workshop today, im sure there's bad stories about every workshop in Australia floating around...even the well known one's! Things change in my opinion, if you look at the recent work that has been done from there- i think the game has been stepped up alot (in both better quality of work & service). I dont think they would be working on Lambo's & Ferrari's or even 1000+ HP cars if they didn't have a clue whats going on!! The proof is in the pudding, the work thats gone through... we've taken an R34 there, be the judge for yourself is all i can say- thats my opinion!

When i heard one of my mate taking the car there to their workshop, i thought i'd go along with him to see the work they do there... and have a chat to the guys aswell!! The Lambos and stuff aside from attenting my cruises, dont get it mixed up- this isnt a promotion or advertisements for the workshop... its just a discussion. So back to the topic... whose been there? And what did you think of what you got?

The workshop is seperate right?? its near the amber at beverly hills yeh?

all i know is the Showroom is usually packed with some awsome cars and tough GTR's

Youtube examples

Niccee! Those video's are sick... crazy GTR's!!! Nuttz how he can drifit an AWD at such high speed :ninja: i want to be able to do that. lol! I managed to film a Gallardo pulling out of the Garage when i was there too; its on the East Coast facebook page if anyone wants to check it out.

Yeah the workshop is seperate, its around the corner from the showroom is all i know, i wasnt driving... Im not very familiar with Beverly Hills area. I looked on their website, they are located on Penshurst Street: AutoStyle Garage Website!

In the showroom they had some crazy stuff ay haha. That RX4 & Yellow R32 GTR looked the goods harrddd :w00t: Ferrari's and Lambo's, i'll keep dreaming :P

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
