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

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/377777-good-mechanic-south-side-just-got-my-100km-done/page__p__6024241#entry6024241

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...

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
