Hey guys,

just wondering where Gavin Wood Autotech is...I know it's in Labrador, but I haven't found it when i was over there. He tuned my S-AFC a while back using Craig Dyson's dyno, n I never got the chance to thank him. Wanted to go see him about a number of future mods. I believe his shop is somewhere on captain cook drive, but if someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

thanks,

Zak

He's at 1/23 Gibbs Street, Labrador.

It's off Brisbane Road. I normally turn right into Captain Cook Drive and then first left into Kendor Street, follow that up to Gibbs street (turn left into gibbs street... it's just past the boat shed on the right.. I dont think it's signed too well) and he's about half way down that street!

Phone number is 5529 2313.

aaah great! thanks nismogirl...was slightly confused there, but i remember gibbs street somewhere in the area. WIll check it out soon.

I've been hearing alot of good things about gavin as far as tuning and fitting apexi products go.

the price on that fit for warrick sounds very cheap though...but i got an s-afc and a evc3 tuned for 450, not fitted tho

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
