I dealt with him recently on an engine rebuild i performed for my car, he was most happy to answer my questions and info seeking, something ive found hard to acomplish with 99% of performance shops as people don't want to give out what they think are secrets, even with shops run by friends..

refreshing change to actually deal with someone who doesn't play secret squirell and gives a straight up, forward answer..

my cars better for it, if all shops behaved like he did, the world would be a better place, especially if they knew as much as he does..

as Denver stated, i also have just finished building my engine up at home, and he has helped me from day 1 to the final start up with awesome, reliable, unbiased, helpful information every single time i PM'd him :)

thanks gary your a true asset to the entire sau community :)

also have puchased over $2000 in suspension gear and all arrived on my door step promptly without a problem, highly reccomended person to deal with.

cheers

Well after seeing this thread I would not like to know how many PMs he gets on a daily basis. And I dare say he answers every single one of them, no matter how simple the question/answer may be.

I have PM'd him many times in relation to choosing my Autronic, to coil pack issues to simply asking if a $50 plastic Bosch BOV is any good. I have always got replies promptly and when not promptly an apology was given lol. And as mentioned he always tries his best to explain things in laymans terms, and if you didnt get it he will explain it again....and again.... never with any frustration.

Regarding the thread starters querie I have never given him a cent but have received thousands of dollars worth of information and saved a lot of money from workshop bills as well.

Jayson.......

I can be a bit thick sometimes when trying to understand a setup or installation, and to be sure, I ask dumb questions, that could be annoying to some, but not SK, he is very patient and understanding and many thanks to him.

If he offered to build me a motor I'd buy it even if I didn't need it.

EDIT

I would like one of his build motors as a spare

  • 6 months later...

dont forget that he does work for a race team, and with the season in full swing and nearly finished, they (he) would be flat out to make sure everything was up to scratch to make sure they can finish the season

maybe he has been having a down couple o'weeks and hasnt had the time or energy to reply to anything - but rest assured that when he does he will be very apologetic

Did you blow another engine Felix?

Gary's got the knowhow and the experience behind his work, so you're guranteed good results. I'd recommend him to anyone... but then again given his interests and work he'd be quite busy, so be understanding.

although I dunno if I'd recommend you to him :)

Yup.. this dude is a champion in my book too!!!!

I've sent him numerous PM's asking about different suspension problems etc and he's always put in the tmie to respond in great detail the information I needed to know... there was nothing in it for him!

He doesn't do this because he has to, he does it because he wants to help SAU... he's such a great asset to SAU.

And I get the shits at people like felxi who try and bad mouth him just because he's a bit busy. He is a busy man, but I assue you when he can, he will get back to you and you will be one very happy customer.

SK is awesome.... great for technical advice; and even better for the infamous "Auto ECU debate" :no:

You should be thankful that SK has offered you a RB30 - he doesn't offer these around to everyone and I'm sure a lot of people would seperate with vital organs to be in your position.

BTW; SK I've held onto all your PMs for future reference *nudge nudge* :laugh:

I think I've already posted, but time to do it again. Sk has to be the greatest and most friendliest person on this forum. As stated numerous times before - free advice which is always 100% correct. He even took the time to come and chat to me when I was down in Sydney! Absaloute legend!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
