Hi all,

Which workshops in the Sydney area would you guys recommend, for servicing and buying parts for your car? The following are workshops I've either heard of or dealt with a little:

Powerplay Imports (Drummoyne)

JustJap (Kirrawee)

Unique Autosports (Seven Hills)

I'm after:

Knowledgeable service and advice

Friendly service

Efficient service and parts delivery

Returns phone calls

Professionalism in working on my car

Reasonable prices charged for parts and service

I know the above things are more or less the same but occasionally one or more of these things are completely absent from one or more of the aforementioned workshops

Any help greatly appreciated

Matt

There's no such thing as a workshop/parts supplier with an impeccable record. Your best bet is to use the search functionality to review the many many other threads that cover the same topic.

Matt, these questions seem to get asked every other week, and almost everyone has differing opinions and their own list of preferred workshops or suppliers to deal with.

The workshops you have already mentioned are all well known and respected, and one of them is a prominent trader on this very forum.

There are a few more great places in my signature which you can add to your list :D

Thanks for the fast reply and the helpful response Blitz

Guess I'm just a bit frustrated with the service from some of the shops I've been to and while I'm not necessarily after a workshop with an impeccable record I just wanted to see what other places people were using and would recommend and you have listed some so thanks, i will check out the other guys you've referred to.

Apologies for asking a newbie question.

Matt

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
