Anyway........... :ermm:

I think we all got a bit carried away for a while there.

I assume that the point of this thread is just to make suggestions on "Where to get your Skyline serviced" so here are my suggestions (take them or leave them):

1. Extreme Street Performance

2. Trojan Motorsport

3. Techworkz Automotive

These are the shops that have looked after me many times in the past and in my opinion are the only workshops worth taking your pride and joy to for tuning, servicing, modifications in or around Canberra.

Done :)

Hey guys,

Looking to get a nistune ECU for my Stagea. Nistune because I'm budget conscious.. but I havent been able to find much info on who in Canberra has experience tuning these things. I walked into DTS today and they had no idea what I was talking about.

I've searched SAU, but was looking for some local (ACT) knowledge and/or opinion.

Thanks for that. The reason I highlighted techworkz was because they're close to my work and just convenient for me. I'd love to get my car to ESP or Trojan as they are known for working on RB's, but unfortunately unable to get there without it interfering with work.

Ill give them a call and suss it out.

Ok.. so turns out that they don't do any tuning because they don't have a dyno. They're happy to install etc, but organise tuning via ESP. *sigh*

Why would that be a problem?

Drop your car off at Techworkz for a day or so and then pick it up when it's done... They'll take it to ESP and have it tuned for you, it's a win-win situation :)

I hate this thread - there's heaps of comments in here on people's thoughts on workshops. Obviously the bad stuff can't be written.

I think we should lock it like they do in NSW when people ask these same questions. People need to call around and make up their own minds because all workshops come with good and bad stories.

send it to sydney and use it as an excuse for a day trip up there

Isn't there some discussion about having it tuned locally vs interstate? The whole air pressure at home and all that?

lol, but dont get me wrong.. love a roadtrip.

why would you pay for a contractor to add a margin to someone you can deal with direct?

Most likely will head over to ESP and get it tuned and all that by them directly. I am after convenience, but at the same time I want to save $$$ anywhere I can.

The whole reason for this is because I was just after convenience.

I hope I didn't come across like I didn't like one shop over the other, I just wanted to see what option best suited me.

Not this thread again! Lol.

I was wondering if there was a tyre shop around that treats cars like 'ours' with care. The reason I ask is because this particular shop in Tuggeranong, where i took my Stagea to, sped up to the hoists and smashed the front lip against the ramp. EVEN after I pointed out that it may happen! Not to mention that he sat in my car and finished the last puff of his ciggerette and threw it on the ground.

I will soon be buying new rims and will require rubber for them, and I would like to bring it to a place where I will have piece of mind knowing the rim and finish won't be damaged and my newly repaired front lip will not cop a beating. heheh!

Please feel free to PM me to avoid the inevitable debate.

    • 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
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
