not sure about the Hornsby area for mechanical work but if you wanted to right person to do the job surely you're prepared to travel within sydney?

i have no issue with travelling, however for convenience (i work in hornsby) I thought there might be a decent workshop around here considering how many mechanics there are located around here...

I went out to Advan on the weekend, they look very professional out there...

I also went to powerplay, (which is close to my house) how do they rate?

I will look into unique too.

thanks for the fast replies fellas.

Haven't used em but QuickFit in horsnby look like they are a very busy mob.

I went in there once and noticed a VL with a custom intercooler kit ( i assume they did) and it looked the goods!

As far as tuning goes, they like their autronics. Might be worth a call anyway.

fair enough :D

were you the guy who came to powerplay wanting the oil cooler???

no, i came in looking for an apillar gauge holder (oops sorry that was two weekends ago not last weekend).

You work there?

I used Quick Fit with my old R31 GTSX, they are very good with ECUs and tuning, actually they are the NSW AUtronic Agent and is a recognised and repsected tuner. That and they do plenty of custom engine transplants so mechanical/electrical things dont scare them.

Steve is definitely worth a try, or at least a conversation to see if he is the workshop for you

yeh I remember you coming in now..

yeh I work there part time

well in that case, I left a message that same afternoon on your phone requesting to be booked in for a service and the install of the parts i mentioned, left both of my numbers and never got a call back (two weeks ago). my phone is always on and with me so I am sure i never got a call back. I did however get really good service (joanne I think it was) and advice when i was in store. Might want to make sure there is some quality control with return calls as it lots you a few hundred dollars worth of business (I decided if they cant call me back they dont want my business). Not having a beef, just letting you know for future customers sake.

cheers

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
