u have a pm

mate,

i have come across quite a few mechanics in melbourne and queensland over the last 7 years of driving and i can honestly say that one of hte best, if not the best mechanic i have come across is dan from elite racing. he is on the forums as 3lit3_32 (click here to contact him: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...&MID=10554)

send him a PM and you won't regret it

cheers,

Warren

GT Auto Garage in Newmarket and Option 1 Garage in Hamilton are the only two workshops I would ever touch. Ive been to a fair few workshops in Brissie and these are my pick for imports. They both have alot of time for their customers, wont steer you in the wrong direction and have great advice.

I have heard good things about East Coast Customs but havent been there.

  • 6 months later...
Carmen imports at Brendale just quoted me $500 for timing belt replacement, $1000 for timing belt and tensioners, seals etc.

Then he said $350 for spark plugs, oil, oil filter and fuel filter, sounds a bit steep eh people ?

rofl. No, it doesnt sound a bit steep, It sounds a farkin whole lot steep. If I were you I would look elsewhere.

On the subject of who is good around town and who isnt I will add my 2 cents worth.

I looked around a fair bit before i dived in to the task we have undertaken and i can say without fear or favor that Dan is tops in my book. His level of service goes way beyond and the pricing is unbelievably good by todays standard. That he does house calls just adds another star to his merit badge.

If you are out my side of town another i can recco is Mick from Signature Performance. Another young guy like Dan full of enthusiasm and clever as all getup to boot.

I cant go past either of these guys to the point i entrusted Dan with my hard earned to build and install my engine and mick to do some of my piping, surge tank and most importantly my tune. Its all done except the tune and that will be up and away as soon as the correct injectors arrive and mick has his new dyno installed.

There are a few I met along the way that I wouldnt touch with a barge pole but i wont go in to that here.

^^^^^^Yeah right Noel i know you would touch em with your POLE.

Another vote for DAN from Elite Racing.

Be patient with a reply for a pm he is always busy it will be worth the wait.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
