Hey Guys,

I know this would have been covered many times, but did a search and couldn't find my answer...

Im getting back into the game and just purchased a 32 gtr with N1 2.8 stroker and hollinger sequential that was setup for amateur circuit racing.

Im looking to turn it into more of a drag setup, stil street car but never driven on road -- willowbank events and powercruise etc

Even though the motor and box seems A1, the head/turbo/ECU/Fuel setup etc is all wrong for what i need.

Im thinking i may get a reputable tuner to fully strip the motor to assess and build, and change bolt ons etc.

Im chasing min 900whp+

Who would you guys recommend in Gold Coast area? Can travel to brisbane if i have too...

Any help much appreciated!

Probably best to get in done in Brisbane as there are a few reputable workshops that can do some great jobs for you if you throw them the right amount of cash.

Also it has been covered plenty of times among different threads from customers personals experiences both good and bad so try have another search to see if you can find those answers.

Id highly recommend "Gavin Woods at autotech, he's based on gold coast, you wont regret it, he knows GTR's, he owns a R33GTR himself, he built a tomei stroker to 900hp on the ignition GTR DVD, should check that one out, was an animal..

You wont find a more honest bloke than Gavin, at those other places you might have a young guy learning by using your car or not be able to know what they are doing as they restrict workshop access, don't get caught up in some of those big name places in Brisbane, I got ripped badly by one... i'll never use any of them again..

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
