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.

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.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
