Never seen a workshop open after 2 or 3 pm on a saturday mate...

You will find they all follow similar hours... They not woolworths...

Might want to conduct a search for workshops and start making a few calls tho. Why do you need a workshop open late???

ya, let me clarify i ment open after 5 on weekdays and maybe open for couple hours on weekends. i work and only have time after 5 or on the weekends.

always want to fix up a FMIC,dump pipe and run on stock high boost setting......save up the cash....just dont get the time to put it.

any help people....sure someone must be open on weekends, so i can leave it with them.....in Vic lot of places are open on sat, that i know.....

not too many places i'm aware of

you can try mercury motorsport?

Most people just take a day of leave during the week to put the car into the shop.

Try GMR at Fairfield, their details are here.

John opens late, usually 10-11am and is often there until 9-10pm most weeknights. He's done most of the mechanical work on my car.

The reason i asked why is why not just drop your car off in the morning and pick it up after work in the afternoon...?

Pick a shop close to your work... Simple...

ya, i think this is the logical thing to do, will give a call to mercury and G.M.R for a quote on the stuff..

thanks people....QLD move has being good so far....weather or the weather..... :( ,

So what exactly are you after?

Do you have all the piping to mount the FMIC or do you need them made up?

If made up, Mild Steel/Stainless Steel?

Is the Dump pipe a simple, unbolt the existing an fit in the new one?

Not a new Exhaust system from Turbo back?

Is it just installing a 2 stage boost controller? Hi/Low boost..

Hi Guys,

New to Brisbane, Any goood workshop that are around ?, which are open after 5 or weekends.

somebody has to be open ?

My friend runs his own workshop called Motive Performance at Coopers Plains (close to sunnybank). Monday to Saturday he is normally open well after 5pm. I get my GTR modded and service there all the time (recently he fitted a Greddy oil cooler for me). Very nice guy, and the price is very reasonable.

Call him on 3277 7279 OR 0403 598 527

hmmm...bugger all i want is a smooth daily driver that has bit more low down urge and flat tourqe curve.....

not after KW as such....

but can only afford FMIC , dump pipe, and apexi avc-r and dyno.....

if someone can suggest a better way to have flat tourqe curve by all means......but no money for power FC and turbo highflow range mods

car now has cat back, POD...and new clutch....has being with me for some time and well sort of got used to the power a bit...never being tuned...ECU reset only from time to time.....just for the fun of it...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
