Chapman & Chapman in the Gabba

Will do a good job but it is at $69/hour ... just check out the cars in the workshop...

Depends on what you want to get done so if its a general service do most of it yourself or stick to the guys you know if you think they are good.

hey yeah, I'm in brissy too after a good mechanic. so Chapman & Chapman in the Gabba they r good as u guys say, What they charge is it like average price ..... or r their services like u pay more u get a better service then other places. Well yeah I'm on a tight budget and new to this. so yeah thanks

yeah well definitly get DYNO done, any good places u guys can recommend. BTW i heard Chapman and Chapman have no DYno machine, but they simply tune based on the "feeling" they get from driving ur car. Dyno machines would do a better job i presume .... right?

not always true.. i know that I dont like dyno tunes, cos it doesnt really represent what your car is doing on the street.

When I was up in qld, I used gavin woods down in labrador (he is the best :)). He tuned it just like that, and 12,000kms later I had it on a dyno in Melb, and they were all asking me where I got it tuned as it was perfect... and after 12,000kms too!

    • 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.
