Sau Vic - Help Don1 Find The Right Workshop


Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon Skylines Australia,

My 1990 R32 GT-R has been getting a full engine rebuild, forged pistons and N1s at RE Customs for some time now and I have been totally happy with their service and results, and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

The problem is now my engine is all fixed up I want to have a good hard look at the interior and exterior - maybe get a paint job, new boot, some new seats, a new wheel etc. I am also looking to get a good alarm system installed.

RE Customs only do engine work so I am looking for advice about what might be a few good workshops to look into. I looked through the workshops thread but couldn't really find much. If I can take my car to one shop and get all of the interior/exterior and alarm taken care of then that would be great - but any info on any workshops that do any of this is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anybody who can point me in the right direction.

Dude... 3 posts in 20mins lol.

Spray work - Micolour in Cheltenham have been doing excellent work.

9555 8011/0713 815 810

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

Wheels. I dont think you can go past Rampant (Aaron).

www.rampant.net.au

There are a few places to get you started, good luck with it all

DT Panels for any bodywork. They are in Chingvale across the road from the station

Agreed! :) Vu does awesome work!!! Just about to get another of my cars painted by him.

PM: evilsub on here, thats him!

For car alarm installation.

Recommended by Chris Rogers (check out audio section if you dont know him)

Spent about 6 hours installing my alarm into the car. Removing whole dash etc etc

Know's what he is doing :)

Give em a call

dont mean to hijack and start up another thread but on the same note, anyone know of a good insurance pannel workshop in/near springy? Doesnt have to specialise in imports like DT Pannels. The family corolla got can-opened by a 4x4 reversing out and not looking.

thanks.

edit...never mind its all been sorted. :)

Thanks heaps for the advice!!! I'll give most of them a call and see what they can do. Looks like it might be smartest to take it different places for the exterior, interior and alarm respectively.

Heres what I got....

Exterior/Spray Shops

DT Panels

Micolour

Alarms/Audio

Interior

???????????

Try Con or Andrew at C&A Auto Fashion in Blackburn.

Do those guys do interiors? Or just exterior?

Just take out your interior. its cool.

Do you mean I should rip out my entire interior and put a whole new dash in? How much is that gonna cost me?? Like millions, right?

As for other things like seats etc. Its more a personal thing. Your better to shop around and see what suits you best really

I'm happy to do that, but pretty clueless on how to "shop around". Where would I look to find a bunch of places that sell/install seats and dashes etc?

Thanks again guys!!

Also Alarms.

If you become a member of SAU-Vic, it will give you access to heavily discounted Alarm installation by a friend of mine who is a supporter of the club :)

It offsets the cost of membership easily, so there are MANY bonuses just there.

They can probably do both. Ask them.

Thanks mate I will. Theyre in the yellow pages? Or do you have a number?

Sweet I'll check it out. Does he also do audio/turbo timer installs? Cause I'd probably get them done at once.

Last time: Is there anything more anyone can tell me about how I can track down a bunch of people that do interior work on cars? Like where I should look. I got no friggin clue.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
