Hi

thanks for replys i ended up taking my car to gavin wood and he did a brillant job on my car. now runs alot better then before. he also uses very good products for the car such as oil, parts etc.

i did notice that some parts needed for my car were quite pricey so make sure ,if you go there to have the right money aside and possibly a bit extra.

regards.

Sloane

Its worth spending a bit extra to know that the quality of work is good.. Take it to somewhere with a less savoury reputation and you will end up spending much more in the long run. I've always taken my cars to Gavin and will continue to do so.

hhmm... I wonder what happened to Stef from International Motorsport..?

Yeah I haven't talked to him for years but he did know his stuff. So he resorted to stealing? He had like half a mill in snap-on tools, an 11 second v-spec daily driver and a 10 second GTR track car. You'd think he would have the money not to be a scum.... So he went down the same track as Steve Mc Iver (mr GTR) what a f*k...

Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, one day all those people will give an account of their actions to God.....and I don't mean Godzilla.

Hey, I realise he's not around now for the wrong reasons but dispite his drug use he "did" do some good work. I said, "did", I haven't seen or heard of him for like 6 or more years. Back 7 or 8 years ago he was one of the few people in Queensland that knew alot about Nissan performance and inparticular GTRs. I could tell you some stories too but back then he was doing a shit load better than the likes of Tokyo Toys (who after being on ACA twice moved to brisabane and changed their name), MR GTR, Rigolli and Sub Zero! As for his, cars I have seen both of them but can't confirm the times, that's just what he told us. These people will or already have pissed off the wrong people which is probably why they arn't around anymore. It's sad that people think it's acceptable to steal, lie and defile etc,.... but one day they will have to repay.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
