My bro has a stock na z32, its running a bit rough (not too bad), not idling well and has a few oil leaks, and theres a few other little things wrong with it, and I cbf fixing it.

Can anyone suggest a good place to take it that won't rip him off? Located in south melb so somewhere reasonably close would be good.

Somewhere without a 3 week wait would be nice, want to get it in the shop this week.

...and would it run with an rb20 AFM :D

thanks bry :D

you have a number of choices -

Name: R E Customs

Contact: Ray

Number: (03) 9548 3414

Location: 16 Yiannis Court, Springvale

Ray will sort out any problems for a decent price - def recommend, as they have the right tools for any job.

GSB Automotive

Contact: George Bittar

Location: 37 Myrtle Street Glen Waverley

Number: (03) 9561 0321

My car is currently at GSB Auto getting a few things fixed up. Its taking time, but George keeps in touch to let me know where my car is at. Pretty good prices too.

Def recommend any of these 2. Oh and GSB has a courtesy car as well if you live ages away.

Good luck finding someone now, with only 2 weeks before Christmas/New Year closure, most w/shops will be FLAT out :D

If RE is not too far from you, you can try Sabbadin Automotive, only a 2 min drive from RE.

No thanks to Ray, previous experience with him and a mates car weren't good.

I'm after something that will take a week tops, as my bro is going away soon

Then try GSB - but as Al said most workshops close up around this time.....i think gsb will be closed from the 21st till the 7th. But def worth giving george a call and get him to look at the car.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
