Guys, don't know how you do things but in my town, when someone does a good job, they get rewarded... I have owned imports since around 1997, and over that time I have often required the use of mechanics. I have used probably around 7 or 8 different workshops and found happiness with two, one being Rob Rigoli albeit yes he can be expensive but damn he knows how to make the machines fly...and secondly, a guy Duncan recommended to me at Annandale. Now of the 7 or 8 guys, I have found two to be good, the other 5 were basically pitiful and one I seriously wouldn't stop my car if he was crossing the road, however this is a positive story, I went to Nathan at Grey Imports at Annandale on Duncan's advice, I don't know Duncan from a bar of soap and didn't have much time to talk to Nathan, I need a transplant motor for the R33, putting a head on a new bottom end, not only was he one of the cheapest guys around, but nothing was ever a problem. Was always honest and did his best to get it going for me, and not only get it going but do the job well, I honestly feel good having spent my money with him and really recommend his services to anyone else out there. If you are sick of being ripped off, having troubles with wank3r$ who try to charge you way too much just because it's an import or just generally stuff you around, go to Nathan, I'm fussy with my money and can honestly say he;s one of the good guys in this area... p.s. thanks for the contact Duncan.

My other rant's aside, haven't used UAS so can't comment but would definately be able to say that Nathan is the #1 import workshop in Sydney for reliability, knowledge and honesty.

Hmmm do feel somewhat sorry for him, his apprentice left a boost pack in my boot, sent his apprentice all the way from annandale to Penrith to get it, and my car was in the booth :-( dayum.

Well that's not a bad, idea, I should take the boys a box ehh... was like something out of a movie this morning though, had to pick up a car load full for my gf's school fundraiser (and she's a teacher so no jokes about me liking young kiddies!!!) we had something like 140 BOXES in my magna station wagon, the people in the shop stopped eating, looked at them wheeling trolley's out to me, and my lard ass standing there smiling they all cracked up...even fat people have feelings!!!

yeah we were around there taking the mud out of the 200b diff and replacing it with oil :)

Nathan did a great job welding it too, should be more fun to drive now :D

No dyno Jimbo, just workshop and 15yo compliance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
