just want peoples experiance with them or anything u know on driftline, as this is another option that my car will be taken to get work on.. i think as a car enthusiast group we should all stick together on topics like this, keep the shit work shops out of business and the good ones running..

many people would be left with quality work from trusted workshops, insteed of making the same mistake over an over again, cause we cant post bad work done by a certain workshop.. pm me if needed, if driftline is shit tell me, i cant and alot of others cant afford to loose money threw a shit workshop with shit workmanship..

if people already no bad stuff from driftline then im not starting anything here, but if all comments are good with positive every were, then i have nothing bad to say except that my car will be going there..

if you no something bad or good just tell me, i am new to this sort of stuff..

big thanks chris..

I know nothing about them, but Shan aka funkymonkey was associated with them and just had his 32 sprayed matte or satin black by them...He was telling myself and another sau vic member to get our cars sprayed there, so I doubt they're dodgy.

lol yeah, i do some work for them when i get the time, but now I'm in brissy. My car's there atm in pieces gettin resprayed satin black.

we also did Adam's red widebody R32 and justine's blue s15 to name the more famous SAU members... plus we get a lot of regulars in an out from SAU... mostly to clear EPA's, dings, services, clutches, intercooler installs etc.

We try not to do half arsed jobs, unless the customer really demands it (ie doesn't wanna spend money and cut corners). We don't do "habib racing" jobs... and if you come in asking for one we'll tell you to GTFO. Mainly of late we've had people who got dodgy jobs done (like a dude who had his widebody kit superglued onto his car by some workshop... we had to grind it back to metal and redo it from scratch) who come in to get it fixed properly.

easiest thing to do is call Roshan on 0425855540 and talk to him... you can even say Shan sent ya off SAU and he might give you a warm hug when you walk in.

i brought my car from there almost 2 years ago, and have always gone back since.

since then rush has become a good friend of mine and will always help me out when it's needed.

he can be pricey, but once you go back to him a few times you build up a "trust fund".

if you want things done properly, he will do it properly. he's good for that.

he's been real busy at the moment and he's quite hard to catch, but he has his mechanic monty running the show when he's occupied.

its not matt black (ie... chalk board) its satin black... which has a clear coat on it with flattener so its not as glossy as usual. :thumbsup:

They are a very capable and underated workshop that can do almost anything to all types of cars (not just inports)

considering when i visited last week they had a holden up on the hoist, and rush and his family all drive holdens for dailys.. haha.

so much shit he cops!

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
