"friendly" Rwc In Melbourne?

[foxy boxy]

Hi all,

Recently after taking my R33 to a garage that I was told would "look after me" in the way of a road worthy, I have come home with a list as long the longest thing you could think of, but longer.. Of things they say need to be fixed.

Some of it is absolutely ridiculous! They even included two month old windscreen wipers, it hasn't been driven in the rain in the past two months, I literally do not understand how they could've added them to the already long, long, long list.

So, as it stands, I'm trying to find a "friendly" garage that can help me out. Somewhere that actually knows what a skyline is & doesn't deal with your everyday p-plater & their 'fully sick' lowered commie.

Having said that, the car is actually in really good nic, it runs perfectly, is always maintained & the only reason I thought it may not pass is for a small crack in my front right headlight, WHICH THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT.

Can anyone help me? I'll shout you a beer! Maybe even two.

Thanks,

Alex.

what makes you think they failed the car because they don't know about skylines? all the things they check on a rwc are the same whether it's a commodore or a ferrari.

what sort of things did they fail you for? that way we can give you an idea on whether they are the sort of thing that even a more leniant workshop may not pass.

Things like my so called "racing" pedals?

You mean those dodgy bolt on "racing" pedals that can potentially come loose and fall off which can cause an obstruction behind the brake which will limit the amount you can press the brake down and affect your stopping distance?

Yeah they're going to be deemed unroadworthy on ANY car.
