Hendra is not too far from Newmarket...

Mercury were advertising some special on 100k skyline servicing recently on facebook...

Its probablly the closest to you that has a good rep & very involved in the scene...

otherwise the rest of the good shops are on the southside...

Southside guy... My 100km service here

Always take my 34 here. He also imports and does quite a few import work but isn't really big named here on SAU.

I got quoted 1600-1800 for same job at a few other known places here on SAU

+1 for ERD

[email protected] is the email addy.

+ 526 for ERD.

Currently rebuilding my engine :)

Dan is awesome to deal with, doesn't bullshit you and doesn't rip you off.

You get that you pay for and you can trust it.

I have been to 4 different shops 1 apparently "big" in the scene. All I got was trouble.

I split my work up between

ERD for Mechanical

EFI for Tuning.

imo dont go to mercury..

For every 100 happy customers there generally a few unhappy ones...

That goes for any business...

Mercury have been up and down over the years, they even f**ked over the club once...

but thats all in the past... the entire staff has changes over in the past 2-3 years...

I was just advising on whats close by as per the 'OP'

I was thinking GT Auto also, but feared the quote price so didnt mention them...

As for $1600 @ Mercury... Go fish...

If it were me id DIY, but then if you've never done one before than dont try...

Dan (ERD) will be the fairest on price i think, he is southside tho which is why i didnt mention him...

I assume you wanta drop off the car local, then cab it to work and come back for it same day or next day?

True - i just felt as though i gave them money and didnt get much in return such as customer service / quality of the work done.

I didnt want to post up exactly what happened, i wish mercury all the best for the future, but i certainly wont go back..

Yeah i understand... i felt the same way about a few others who are no longer in business (which is good)...

i just did my 100,000K service at ERD (R34 GTR)

and i can safely say it a less than $1600... lot less....

i did get the SAU QLD Club discount

Give Dan a ring

my 100K at ERD

- Gates racing belt kit

- idler bearing

- 10W40 oil "Dan asked me type of oil from range all synthetic stuff

- Water pump

- he also did a compression check and vehicle inspection

Edit - forgot also did all the diff, break and other oils as this was first major service since i imported it from jap land.

Wow - this forum is fantastic... everyone is so helpful and comes through with quality information...

My R33 GTS-T has had its 200K service done but just needs a minor service and I want a few things checked over to make sure she's 100%... Gonna give ERD a call today because they seem to have a good rep... And thanks to Goodwin for asking my question 2 days ago lol...

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
