Where to get Skyline Serviced

[nsanity]

anywhere in canberra sell these magical RB74 pads?

[race_snooze]

try Molonglo break and clutch, if they dont they will know where to get them

[Bluprint]

Alternatively give Competition Friction a call. They don't do RB74's but they do have some other pads. They're an AP Racing supplier and I've bought stuff from them before, they're really good. Can probably get you something worth buying.

I don't have their number but whitepages.com.au is your friend.

Gave John a call at Competition Friction, he recommended the Ferodo Racing DS2500 pads. They fit them to OEM HSV's and what not (you know, the boaty whale things...) so they will be adequate for road use (and occasional track use).

~$238 front's, $209 rears - but he did mention that i could probably swap to a cheaper rear option as the fronts do indeed do most of the braking work.

They are located in Murrambatemen apparently, but can organise to get the stuff to Canberra.

[Bluprint]

Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that they're in Murrambateman.

Last time I bought AP fluid from them I bought it over the phone at 3pm and they couriered it to my place by 6pm for $9.00.

Performance Friction are seriously good guys, will help you all the way. Can vouch for the DS2500 pads also.

check out http://www.racebrakes.com.au/html/contact_us.html mention you are part of SAU they may help you out a little more but i think you may have to be a paying member.

Hi All Just wondering if theres anyone good in tuggeranong to get a service done? Since I work in Tuggeranong and it would work out well for me? Would Gas Tune be a good bet?

thx

GasTune is ok. How modified is your car.

They did my 32GTS-T. Installed my MicroTech LTX12 puter, external coils and modified pipework to fit the HKS SSQV - then tuned it well.

[CeJay]

reasonable amount of engine mods.

rb25det,

r34 turbo

aftermarket cams

chipped ecu

fmic

z32 afm

I haven't found a gr8 tuner in Canb so choice is limited to best effort mediocrity.

[MIVEC]

I use Gas Tune for my regular servicing. I've never had a problem with them and they've always been helpful.

NuggetGTR also uses them and I've seen a Stagea in there too.

[R3sp3ct]

If i want to get the rails lowered for my drivers seat who would i go to?

[R32_Matt]

I also use gas tune.

ill need to book in for a tune sometime soon as well

Mate! How much did you pay for the installation of your clutch. Mine is due to change and would like to know the price? BTW, where is gas tune located?

Cheers!

Gas Tune is in the same set of shops as AudioTech on Scollay Street, Greenway -next to car lovers. Dave runs the shop.

A new clutch installed has previously cost me $900.

Cheers

Have to give thumbs up to Marc at Discount Tyres Belconnen, had the car breakdown at the start of the week. Fitted me in, fixed the problem, reasonable charge, and explained exactly what the problem was and how it was fixed.

Just wanting to confirm that Ed is still at Integra??????????

now owning a R33 (stock!) was considering going to a mechanic that actually knows about them (current mechanic is good but doesnt do any skylines normally).

Based on the feedback, and the fact Integra is close by it sounds like the place to go.

[Sinista32]

My understanding is that Ed is no longer at Integra. He may show up at AutoTech next year.

Local

Trojan is rated by many on here as good with Skylines.

Peter at Autotech (Fyshwick) for tuning is one of the better ones around at the moment.

Interstate

Croydons (CRD) in Sydney.

As far as going to Integra at your own peril.

[soarergal]

From a soarer perspective, Trojan rate very highly in my books. AutoTech dyno tuned her last year, which was a great tune; however, he told us he is cautious and wouldn't run anymore than 15psi unless 600cc injecters were fitted. As a result of the dyno shootout at Jakes Performance, I will be going there to get some tweaking done. For normal servicing/problems though, I go to Neil Griffiths at Rush Imports in Queanbeyan, as he is the soarer/toyota guru of probably the whole of Canberra. Despite my previous 'loyalty' to EVO Motorsport; they lost me when Stu forgot what spark plugs to use in the soarer when he did a minor service awhile ago. Rush wasn't open so he asked EVO and the ones they recommended were totally wrong and left her running rather rough until Neil fixed it.
