Workshop Recomendations

[wolfwood]

hey all im looking for a good work shop to do some work on my car, ceffy with rb26dett.

im currently doing a single conversion, ive removed the stock turbos and manifold and that shit but i want someone to put on my new turbo manifold wastgate, all the liens zorst, IC piping and all that shit.

if someone could recomend some place to get this done for a resonable price that would be great. im on the goldcoast and will tow the car to brissy if need be.

also would anyone have a rough guess of how much this is gona cost me, only parts i have are the turbo, manifold and wastgate.

thanks ben

I'd suggest talking to Dan of Elite Racing. He'll sort you out with a idea of cost and so forth.

3lit3_32 is his forum name. Send him a PM and he'll sort you out.

He is east of Brisbane.

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

ill chuck in charlies motors at wooloongabba. Tune a few of the drifters around brisbane and i know they arn't complaining. Never had a problem with them, and im always confident they will get it right and at a reasonable price.

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.

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.

[subzeroR33]

^^^^^^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.
