DarkCoupe Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi, I live in Sydney, and am currently actively looking for a R34 GT-T (see my sig for more info) I think I may have found one, and was hoping one of you could recommend a workshop I could take it to for a thorough mechanical check (with a written report). Of course, I'd be willing to pay for the service but that's not the main point here. Basically, what I am asking is, who (as in what workshop) would you trust to check your potential purchase before you forked over a large amount of $$$. Places like Powerplay come to my mind straight away, so tell me what you think of them, or perhaps suggest other places? On a final note, is NRMA a waste of money? (I am thinking yes from what I read and hear, but please confirm). Any help / advice you can give me as to where to take the car would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39907-where-can-i-get-a-skyline-checked-mechanically/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRK25T Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 why not buy a modded R33 gtst from me? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39907-where-can-i-get-a-skyline-checked-mechanically/#findComment-818035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerealKiller Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 UAS (www.nismo.com.au) Hillsmotorsport (good luck trying to ring them) NRMA are good. Although they don't specialise in Skylines as UAS / Hills do, all cars have essentially the same things to run as one another, and they do have "specialists" who check cars all day everyday.

morlock Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have always used BD4s in Gladesville and they have done a great job everytime. They are also official Australian distributors for HKS and have HKS certified mechanics. When I bought my baby, the first thing I did was take it to them for a service and they were extremely helpfull and performed a detailed inspection. Quoted prices for repairs were accurate and they are always communicating with you if something is wrong or they require to do further work due to an unforseen problem. Speak to George and see what they can do for you. http://www.bd4s.com.au I haven't had any experience with UAS service center and have only bought parts from them, but they do specialise in nissan imports. Hope it all works out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/39907-where-can-i-get-a-skyline-checked-mechanically/#findComment-819100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWest Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yeah get Alistair to look at it. Call them 1st and ask Joanne how much it is for a check up. They only deal with Skylines so they know usually what to look out for.

CWest Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah i get my 34 serviced there and i really like their customer service. And Alistair is a really fussy guy, to the point of being a little eccentric about it.
