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

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
