Location? Northside/Southside?

I just got my car back from a place at geebung/virginia and they did a pretty decent job of it considering the damage. As it was an insurance job it was all new parts from Nissan (for a R34 mind you). The only problem was it took over a month for some of the parts to come from Nissan Japan.

One of my staff has had their car with that firm for over 6 months awaiting a repair - when he finally got it back the quality was crap.

Still ongoing with them to get things fixed.

Wouldn't touch them with someone elses barge pole.

I have often used (not just on the GTR) Exclusive Autos in Newstead.

They are the only Ferrari repairer in Brisbane. Also do Lambo's, Audi, Porsche, etc.

Not cheap - but very good.

If someone else is paying - worth a try.

Umm just a small point but...3rd party doesn't cover someone else's car. Not compulsory 3rd party nor 3rd party fire and theft, the only insurance that covers your car or anyone else's CAR you hit is comprehensive insurance.....so i'd be checking out that this guys insurance is in fact covering it.

Nope.

3rd party + fire and theft cover you get from RACQ or Just Cars or whatever covers ANYTHING you hit, but NOT your car. Comprehensive covers whatever you hit PLUS your car.

Sean's Presige in Rocklea, second to non to anyone else. Had alot of my friends cars done there, the work is ALWAY flawless. He gets pretty busy tho, might take a little longer than normal, but well worth the wait

I just got my car back from a small shop called "the spray shop"

They did a great job on my car, they are located in rocklea sorry i dont have the number though.. it was an insurance job :whistling:

Definatly happy with the quality, nice cheap rates too

Bayer Smash repairs do immaculate work, will be more expensive than some but if your getting repaired under racq you wont have a problem with them approving the work. They also do all of motorline BMW's work everything is to a very high standard.

goodluck

go see Peter @ city auto repair service (they are at wooloongabba on 104 deschon street) they are my works (govt) preferred smash repairer, he does a bit of aftermarket work too that is who i will be getting to do my car when i get the cash together

ph:3891 9818 go down and check out some of their work looks great

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
