Everyone has good and bad experiences with workshops, and so far i havnt had a problem with PowerPlay, and they have figured out one big problem for me, helped me with several others, and even done one peice of work where im sure they either broke even, or lost money after it was finished (so dont think all they care about is making money, im sure they would rather have a happy customer than one who gets average service and they make heaps off them, once you speak to the guys in the back you will understand), but they did it cause they are good people, understood i was having to make a tough decision, and they have a good rep for helping out their customers. Also, everytime my car has been there for even a small thing, they wash it THOROUGHLY before i get it back (which i dont expect, but sure do like and appreciate), aswel as showing me what ive broken, why ive broken it, and how to not break it again.

They do what they say they will do, on time.

If you want cheap shit, dont go there and waste Tosh or Joanns time (even though Tosh is always having a smoke outside :O )and let them tend to customers who can tell the difference between a knock off and a genuine part.

My 2c

i bought a front and rear cusco strut braces from them. I looked at there site and prices did seem a little high but they looked after me and the product was delivered quick and in the condition described. If i had more money to spend I would do alot more business with them :O

I've bought 3 cars over 6 years through these guys so far, their service, support and contacts are second to none. And no bullshit.

Yes you can buy cheaper chinese copies of parts on ebay if that's what you prefer, but you only have to have one problem and try and get support or warranty from those sellers to see what a huge difference it is.

If you buy genuine, quality japanese parts you know they will fit, work and keep working first time, every time. And for quality parts powerplay are very competitive.

As i have mentioned in another thread about a certian tyre dealership...

You get what you pay for, you want good service and top quality products then prepare to hand over the cash, you want cheap shit, and shit service then you pay less....

Me, im happy paying more!

I've had nothing but good experiences with Powerplay.

Ordered an East Bear CF bonnet from them. The quality far surpasses the cheap chinese shit that other places sell.

All this and the price I got from Powerplay was great. Couldn't be beat.

they must be the ducks guts

they are the ONLY australian distributer of R31HOUSE products

So all R31 owners have to kowtow to them and pay the prices....

I'm not judging either way, but when I saw the R31house prices I thought two things - that is they were either;

-Testing the water to see just how high they could price things (or leaving additional margin for discounting), or;

-Buying them at R31house retail THEN adding markup

Personally when I priced a set of decals and it reached the $250 mark, considering only a couple were genuine nissan ones, I was happy enough to pay $54 for a set of visually identical local reproductions.

I suppose if you want the parts you have to pay their price.

The prices seem high, but if they are sole distributors, do all the groundwork etc etc well fair enough, its their choice to set what price they feel is appropriate.

Prices aside the service is friendly and knowledgeable and I can't say I've heard anything negative.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
