Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a workshop/mechanic around the Frankston area to take my skyline too. It needs some very minor engine work done and basically just want it checked over at the same time. I had a look through the sticky at the workshops but i was wondering if there was anyone closer to me, Mornington / Frankston area.

My old mechanic was in Dandenong but to be honest i have had enough of his procastination and am looking for someone who will get the job done. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, either reply here or PM me please.

Cheers

Thanks for that, any other suggestions other than what is written in this sticky?

Also, any personal accounts/anecdotes? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to publicise... :D

Umm don't know about that comment mate, I'm from down that area and I know quite a few import owners down there including a fully built r32 gtr running a t04z, an s13 running a 280 rwkw rb25 and a certain yellow s15 pushing 260 rwkw just to mention a few.

As far as workshops go, I wouldn't look down our way tho, my friends and I all do our own work on our cars and take them out to the tuners (mainly re customs, dr drift and racepace). If you are really determined to have somebody down that way, APS know their way around "modified" cars, but the majority of them are 8's.

Depending on what the minor work is my friends and I may be able to help you out, we are down in morno most weekends

RE customs is deffinatly the go got me 300RWKWS out of my soarer and everything done promptly without oh the bill has gone up this much that much..

they are not that far i am in frankston an now i take my skyline there too..

speak to

I took my car for a dyno run at RE Customs.

Ray was really helpful, he did a pre check of the car and told me it was running lean and deffinately in need of a fuel pump and did not run it on the dyno to protect the car... He immediately impressed me and you can tell he knows his stuff. Also, I have heard nothing but good reports!

RE Customs are shit! For starters their prices are too low, thier quality of service is too high and they got more power out of the stock engine in my car than it was making on a built engine in a mates car on more boost, BASTARDS! hahaha jk jk Ray.

RE is awesome and I refer anybody I know to them, my mates GTR is down there now and another mates GTiR is going in there in the coming days for a tune

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
