Hi guys,

I was wondering where in brisbane prefer south side of brissy I can take my r32 gtst to get a few small issues and installs done without being screwed over with high $$ prices or dodgy work.

Im currently in the process of sorting out my plan of mods for my R32 GTST...

Its pretty stock except for 3" hiflow cat and bee R exhaust (standard dump and engine pipe, standard boost, bov and sidemount intercooler and ecu)

Its currently running like crap (popping, backfiring after acceleration, but not missing and lacking power) so i need someone to take a looksie at it and sort out what the hell is going wrong.

It also needs a new clutch,a basic HD clutch or something to handle 200 -220rwkw's to be installed.

Once the car has a good basic setup to start with..

I just dont want to be treated badly or laughed at because my car isnt a big HP car with $$$ spent on it..

I've budgeted around $1500 for the clutch supply & install and diagnosing the problem, do you think thats a realistic figure? I'm thinking possibly the fuel pump is dying? i dont really know alot about how to diagnose issues..

So Thanks for any info offered

Cheers BOOSTA (Pete) :(

don't know any body in qld as i live in vic. altho i work for repco service and thier pretty good. my recermondation would to be to go and see them for your troubles and they should be able to do all the mod work you require. stnaded rate is $99h/r inc GST. (thats what it is in vic, should be the same)

one of our new merchanics used to work on the gold cost for repco and he's pretty decent.

good luck with the car man.

I work at ABS springwood during the day and we are doing the exedy HD kits supplied and fitted including flywheel machine for $720. We used to do them for $700 but the price went up because we were buying so many...go figure.

Our number is (07)3808 3533

As for fuel pump dying, do a fuel flow and pressure test. This will tell you if your pump is healthy or not. There are many things that can cause the issues you are experiencing so I would assume it will not be a simple matter to diagnose.

Man you should come up to Brissy, standard hourly rate will only set you back around $77/hr. Some workshops charge up to $80-$90 but this is only a select few around the place.

Hey guys

Thanks for the replies regarding the issues I have, I'll be stopping into ABS at springwood probably on the 29th to get the clutch done and then maybe try and get dan to have a look at it sometime as I really have heard great things about his work....

I have no idea how to do a fuel flow/pressure test on the pump? Im not very mechanically minded (plus lack of tools doesnt help)....

Thanks Guys

hey mate,

i use mercury motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) they provide good quality work and good customer service. i wouldn't say the cheapest prices.. about $77 and hour, but they take their time and do it properly

plus, they can re-tune the stock r32 ecu now! so you're laughing...

they are in newmarket, about 5mins north of the city :)

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
