Browsing though performance magazines, I always see performance shops and wreckers in Sydney and Brisbane / Glod Coast. In Melbourne I cant think of ANY performance shops that cater to our needs, and only 1 wrecker:

- EKW on hampstead rd, West Footscray

If any1 knows of any other places in Vic, I think this would be a good spot to post them.

Carizma seem to be selling a fair bit of performance gear..

also, for tuners.. try the typical VL Turbo Tuners.. they are getting fairly deep into the R3*s now..

JPC, EAS, PET..

I dont think id go near Nizpro or AVO.. just heard a few bad things about them..

Also.. BGT are the stockists for APexi.. so they supply / tune etc.. dunno how good they are ?

Two that i would highly recommend is

ICE Performance in Cheltenham 9512-7591 and

RacePaceMotorsport in Bayswater

http://www.racepacemotorsport.com/

combined, these guys can get nearly any part needed/wanted and are experts in Nissans (especially GTR's).

BGT are now in Nunawading.

I had a bad experience with them once, made me want to go out and buy a heap of WRX badges for my 240Z so I could get what I had asked for :)

Also, once witnessed at least 4 different ppl taking a R33 for a 'test drive' after its dyno tune.

Try Speed Technology in Mitcham (Steve 9873 5400). Steve has worked on Zedzilla (featured a couple of times in Zoom!).

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
