Nathan_G1 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Ive been to a few and let em tamper round with my car, i dont mind being a test dummy if i get a % off. So far so good, nothings gone wrong.........YET!!! But tilbrook auto and dyno are quite good, can be expensive at $70 an hour. Turbo tune are pretty good down sth road, but if its jsut a tune, its not hard to undo ur oil plug, drip dry it and replace an oil filter at the same time. Timing belts can cause an issue. but try one of those two. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91978-good-mechanics/#findComment-1659824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawley Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 My GTR has just spent a good week or so in the hands of Trevor and the other great guys (and girls) at FBI. Really friendly people who care about what they are doing. And did a fantastic job on both my car and Mel's 32. www.fourbrotherimports.com.au (check out Mel's 32 Neo that is still for sale on there!!)
