Thumbs up to import parts Canberra, had a timing belt service done by them, and have to say provided the best service by far out of any shop ive been to in Canberra.

Anyone go to Premier Automotive in Mitchell? I wanna know what people think of em.

 

Also, does this Ed guy at Integra Automotive do engine conversions? I might go there and get them to quote me on dropping an RB25det into my VL. Hopefully he works saturdays? Anyways, when I go, should I say that one of you sent me?

 

 Thanks,

i'm sure you could talk ed into an engine swap. 25 into vl isn't all that difficult and ed knows his "rb's" inside and out. it really depends on what you want it to do i spose. and, lets face it dude, you should just say everyone here sent you... haha. ed's got a lot of happy customers.

Trojan had better be giving me and steve some money i think with all the free publicty we give them, lol

Well... I wouldnt turn a discount down if one was offered :wassup:

But honestly they deserve a good rap and I'm happy to put my name next to something that I know is going to be top notch.

Have to agree with earlier posts-stay away from Evo.

We bought our skyline from them a couple of years ago-initially service was good but our last experience has sealed there fate.

Had it there for a few weeks for sale on consignment but there didnt sell it. We picked it up and noticed the airbag warning light flashing (no problem before) so I asked them what happened-they said to bring it back and they would fix it-in the meantime we sold the car privately through the trading post. When I picked it up to hand over to the buyer they tried to charge me for a new airbag control box and commission for selling it! Go figure. Crooks I say.

I disagree with this, but its just my personal experience, first problem was when the guy was trying to tell me my gts was front wheel drive and im like ahh...... do you know anything about these cars, should i be leaving with you?

2nd problem was when i got it back i noticed the power button had been selected on the auto box, now not saying anything, but i know i hadnt pushed it and i can picture some idiot going yay lets give it a wrap, and see what this button does, and it definately had less fuel in it. Just my personla experience. If other ppl had good service go for it. I wont return

i'll only go there for wheel repairs and i hope i never need to. i think they're wankers personally. when i was shopping for tyres, they proved to not only some $80 a tyre more expensive than pat's fyshwick, but they were incredibly condescending. i was talking to some chick there about tyre widths and tramlining and different compounds and she clearly thought i didn't know what i was on about, talking to me in "baby english". she also suggested $200 tyres a corner would suit my driving style perfectly which i took with quite a bit of offense, considering she'd never seen me drive. this was post-quickfit and i wont be returning there if i can avoid it.

Again, and I'll say this every month...

No no to EVO MOTORSPORT. I sat down yesterday and worked out they ripped me off to the tune of $4000 which I'll never see again, but I consider it payment to ensure none of you guys are ripped off by them! I've been saving over the last few months to re - buy the stuf I thought I had.

Chris seems nice, but is nothing but a hard sales man. Don't get suckered. The way I was ripped off - there is no excuse. I hope they go under.

not to disagree with you, but one of my mate's bout some wheels there about a year ago and when he whent to pick up the car the rear wheels had no center caps, he was told they didn't have them in stock and would have to order them, then two mounths latter after contiualy hounding them they said they dont make them any more so he got stuck with rear wheels that looked s@#*! and is still trying to sell them, so he's never going back!

If you're after tyres then consider Tyre Power in Tuggeranong. The owners a nice bloke and has looked at my car on a few occassions. I'm planning to purchase a full set of tyres off them in the next coming months. No complaints. And the guys treat the car with respect when they take it for a drive.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
