Hi guys

My car is up for a service soon, and since I think I need a proper tune up (ie. maybe can get more power) and the car has a couple of niggling probs, I will take it to a mechanic.

Where in the Gold Coast (pref. Bundall, Ashmore area) is the best place to get a decent service, tune and check - where they will listen to you and actually check out the probs? I have taken my car for a couple of services now to one place and they never listen to what I ask them to check - ie. the noises are still there, still idles rough, gear slips, belts squeal at high revs etc etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

cheers,

Brett

id like to suggest 'Gavin Wood Auto Tech' (nissan specialist)

they do SKYLINE's daily and when you go past you can usualy see a GTR or some other form of imported NISSAN... they are a friendly helpful bunch and have serviced my car... i think a few people on these forums get serviced there?

decent prices too :(

1/23 Gibbs street, Labrador 4215 (kinda close to sub zero)

PH: 5529 2313

hope i helped... bye :burnout:

I can 2nd Gavin Woods. I think his labour is a bit more expensive, but hes so damn quick that you end up saving money.

I had a new engine put in my car by him. Took him 1 day. Hasnt missed a beat in the last 15,000kms and mechanic in melbourne said who ever tuned it last time did a great job.

Nizman, sky|ine and NismoGirl all use him I think.

OI...

I suggest Gavin. If I hadn't had been there none of yous would know about him!!

*I* suggested gavin woods in the first place and told all these mofo's to go there. :D

GAVIN GAVIN HE'S OUR MAN... IF HE CAN'T DO IT.. NO ONE CAN. :)

I should get big discounts for this hey :(

    • 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.
