Ive been doing quite a few home services over the years for people looking for a cheaper yet professional alternative then taking it to a workshop. I'm a mechanic and gas fitter by day, have several Skylines of my own and like to help out others with them. Have recently done several Stagea 100K services also. I'm not operating a business nor am i interested in starting one lol, However i am offering to help out people who need some work done during the weekends. It will be cheaper then a workshop but i dont work for free lol.

PM me if your interested.

sure was mate, thats my gf's car.

Clutches are one of the few things i wont do at my place, well on 33's anyway, A hoist is needed pref. 32 boxes are no worries lol.

I can however point you in the right direction for well priced yet good clutch jobs.

Cheers

yes and no, ive done the exact cooler and fit to my neighbours S2 r33 and i found the cooling pro kit lacked a few brackets and clamps, which meant stuffing around a bit. But otherwise its around a 3 hour or so job. I like to take my time when it comes to trimming the bar since this its the most visual area.

One of my mates also runs his own business from his house.

His name is Mark and his business is Fuel Automotive, he is a diesel Mechanic by trade and does all the work on my car.

He does all mechanical work no matter how big or small and is much cheaper than a workshop.

If you would like to use his services you can PM me and i will give you his number.

Please remember that he only does this stuff in his spare time as he has a full time job.

^Shaun, sounds like the same guy who works on Martin (HOSTILE) and PureSX's cars. if you can PM me a number for him, I'd be interested to get a quote from him.

Cheers

Hotwire you are correct as we are all close friends

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
