Veilside R33 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Firstly, welcome and congrats on a great new ride! We're a really friendly bunch down here so I'm sure you'll have no trouble fitting in. I'll let the other guys handle the other questions, but I assure you, the plice treat us better here than anywhere else in Australia. Just last month we had a night meet and a couple of cops came down, lit up a smoke next to us and chatted for about 15 minutes asking us how we were and commenting on how nice some of the cars were and then wished us well and headed off. Now there were some cars there that could have been defected and put away for life.....and they knew that, but they were just making sure we were looking after ourselves and not breaking the law. The vehicle inspectors here are dicks, not the guys at the registry, they are also pretty fair, but it's the inspectors that go out and find cars to defect here that are tools, but even they don't go out of their way to make things hard for us. In conclusion, Canberra cops, in general, are great!

Amaru Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 For your first question I would reccomend the guys at Integra Automotive. Heaps of experience with Skylines, and I would be confident in saying they have the best Power FC/Autronic/Motec/Microtech tuner in Canberra working there (Ed). They are out in Queanbeyan, give them a call on 62329329 and go out and have a talk to them and tell them what you are after.

Stevie Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Trojan motorsport in Mitchell is a brilliant workshop that specialise in Skyline performance. Just one trip down to the garage and you'll see what i mean. They are contactable on 6242 6277. Ask for John. And if you drop in tell them Steve (silver 33) sent you! It probably wont get you a discount but i'll be able to talk myself up next time I see the boys lol...

leech_ Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have heard he is good with SAFC's but not sure about powerfc's. I guess it depends on if you are willing to give him a go if not i suggest you take it to Ed @ integra as he seems to have worked the most with powerfc's does anyone go to autotech out in fyshwick to get their power fc tuned?i was there today to get my car dyno tested (just to see power) but dunno how they are with tuning the fc..
