I think it would be a good idea, if we perhaps got some sort of list with good workshops going. I know we can't say bads things about workshops or garages, but if we got a list of shops people have been to, or regularly go to would be great. There's so many 'performance' places around, but how many are good ? Basically anyone who knows turbo's and skylines.

Ok these are the people that I have used for various bits and pieces and they have all be very good and professional and are all familiar with skylines and imports.

Drive Car Automotive

2C/88 Lever Street

Albion Brisbane

PH: 38624522

Speak to Mark

I get my car serviced here, he is a good honest guy and doesn't charge the earth. Knows skylines and most other imports pretty well.

Gavin Woods Autotech

1/23 Gibbs Street

Labrador

PH 55292313

Fixed my wheel bearing at a reasonable price :P I will be going back to get my SAFC fitted and tuned as they are very good with Nissans and Apexi gear.

Rob Bliss Exhausts

264 Robinson Road

Geebung Brisbane

32652044

Fitted up my exhaust. Did a good job at a great price. They are very helpful with suggestions plenty of suggestions on how to get the sound you want, how to eliminate drone etc.

I have been screwed around by a lot of other places in Brisbane with my current car, but the three above have all been very helpful and professional and will continue to get my business and recommendations.

Subzero Performance.

quite a few quick cars have come out of the shop with alot more to come in the future.

gts-t's: 10.9 @ 127mph

10.6 @ 127mph

10.06 @ 139mph

GTR: 3-4 GTR's 11.7-11.8 @ 118mph+

11.3 @ 130mph

there should be a few more gts-t coming out in the next 2-3 months that should run 10's no probs.

nearly everything is made in house, from inlet plenium, exhaust manifolds, intercoolers, radiators, oil coolers, exhausts systems, flywheels, external wastegates and much more. not to many places can say they make everything in house.

Yes but have any of you actually had them do any work on your cars? I think places that you have actually had first hand experience with are more relevant to this thread than reports that "these guys are ok cause I heard it from my mate whoe heard it from a friend of a friend who read it on the net somwhere".

Nothing against Subzero at all, they could be the bee's knees but how about a comment from people who have actually had work done? What you had done, what the cost was like, what the service was like, what the quality of work was like.

i'm currently getting work done there (subzero). RB30/26, T76 turbo, custom plenium & exhaust manifold, big cooler, 62mm external wastegate, lunati rods, ARP stud kit & bolts, oil coolers, very similar motor to TRY09's but with a few improvements. i've had no probs with the boys there. good quality work, many cars have been featured in Zoom, street commodores, hot4's etc...

Hi guys,

I use APC on Brisbane's southside. They seem to be pretty good to me. So far they have replaced my coils, installed boost controller & guage and serviced the car.

They also work on a yellow mistu evo 3 that ran at the drag combat. And other performance cars. So I guess they are doing something right.

Eek

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
