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

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
