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.

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!

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
