Brisbane Tuners/mechanics For Gtr's

[smidy]

Could anyone suggest a Tuner/Mechanic in brisy area that is knowledgeable, trustworthy and reasonable if that is possible?? I'm sure thats not to much to ask!

Just bought a 33 GTR from japanese auctions and will arrive in 2-3months and would like to find a reliable mechanic/tuner in the area.

personal expeience and feedback, negative or positive would be great. private message me if want to remain anonomous....Thanks All!!

Gavin Woods is the best Nissan tuner/mechanic around in my opinion, he actually drives a R33 GTR , it was previously setup for targa Tasmania,

He will know what to do with your GTR, and you wont get ripped off or stuffed around, a great guy to deal with too

are there no good tuners in brisbane though?

[Brandon]

Maybe to others but the 2 I will bring mine to are both in Gold Coast.

Gavin Wood or Matt Spry.

Gavin's pretty well located as you can go for a walk around Harbour Town when he is tuning your car.

so far without contacting anyone im thinking Dan @ ERD in Yatala from reading past posts or Gavin at Autotech from this and past posts plus the harbour town thing sounds great, take the misses there to blind the fact im spend another thousand on my skyline ...booyeah!! cheers Brandon!!

Thanks for feedback

[mattis96]

Erd is no more... Lol and if you go to harbour town with your misses, it will cost you alot more...

[Brandon]

Yea Dan's closed. Dan used to do majority of my mechanical work but Hi-Power's got my business now. Honest and easy to deal with.

You might want to call Autotech and check because I recalled someone from another thread mentioned something about him and Matty Spry working together. He tuned mine ages ago and I didnt have another since.

^{Gavin uses the dyno at Hi-Power, If you ask he may let you in the dyno room to watch, I watched mine in the dyno room and he talked me through what was happening , its awesome standing next to the car}

^{while its flat out on the dyno}

Lol its freaky to a degree.... Knowing your car is on the limit and asking in the back of your mind "Did i tighten that up"? haha

Even with ear muffs on mine is wild, you can feel it as it screams

[AngryRB]

haha, yeah I know what you mean, last time I was worried cause the I put the cams in myself and with it being all stock engine..

yeah like a wild animal, mine was really lumpy until the tune was finished, the V8 boys came out to see what was doing, and gave it the nod, reluctantly lol...

No way I would let my car be dyno'd without being in the room. I have saved my engine, and a few others by simply checking it after each run, making sure there are no leaks, smoke, loose hoses etc.

That said it's weird having someone rev the crap out of your car on rollers, the first time you will probably shit bricks worrying it will jump off or explode. (mine has done both of these things.)

yeah i think that is what happened at the Tech Night we had in NSW a month ago, a lot of first timers in the dyno cell

Wait, yours has jumped off and exploded? Remind me never to go near you when operating a dyno

[scotty nm35]

With this sort of power, if they don't strap the car down really well, it can snap the straps or bend the hooks which is what happened at the SAU dyno day a few years ago, the car jumped off the back when he hit the brakes. There were 4 of us trying to hold the back of the car so it didn't come right off the dyno.

I also had the cooling system explode when the head gasket let go, boiling hot coolant went everywhere.

You definitely need to be on the ball, and I can see why most workshops won't let customers in the room for safety reasons.
