Hey guys. I have a few Q's for the fellow Territorians up here re: R33 GTST. I'm going to buy one at the end of this year after house minding one for 3 months when in QLD. I have HEAPS of Q's I'm hoping that someone can help me with!

Where is the most reputable place in Darwin to get any tuning done. How about performance mods ie: A/Market Engine Management fitment / Tuning, Coolers, Turbo Upgrades ect.....

Or am I better off taking 4 weeks off work, headin south and get it all done down there in one hit whe I buy one?

Any issues with insurance up here? I briefly spoke to shannons and had a reasonable quote.

Any of you guys hit Hidden valley on the Friday night street runs?

Been there a few times and seen a few imports s l o w l y making a scene.

Ive only seen 3 white R33's getting around the local area. Nice 33 with a 400R front bar i passed the other day headin home.

cheers,

Tackdog

I think your options for performance work and upgrades in Darwin is pretty limited from what i have seen (lived there 10 years). Especially for high performance turbos like skylines etc.

If you are going to buy one down south somewhere (which would seem likely) then get any major stuff you want done while you are down. There are more places with good reputations, and more competition means better prices for you :)

whoever that was directed at I agree, I am going to be buying a silvia and have some work down to it, all down south, I just don't trust the mechanics up here, sure they (some) do a good job but they don't see enough performance cars to know EXACTLY what they are doing, and I don't plan on being the guinee (sp) pig :D

stuff's cheaper down south any way. Intercoolers, Mandrel bent exhausts etc are all much cheaper so if you guy a car down here anyway it would make sense if you can afford to get it done at the same time.

You could always order the parts up and fit them yourself I guess. The thing I would be worried about is getting it all tuned. I don't know if there are any good workshops around in Darwin for dyno tuning aftermarket computers etc.
