Hey all.. I moved back to perth from qld last year.. have an r32 gts4 which I had shipped over but has been in storage for about six months now. I am looking for a really genuine mechanical workshop (had an awesome one over in brissy if anyone ever needs a number).

Need to put her over the pits, so looking at getting a bit of basic stuff done.. but also looking at spending some decent cash on doing her up a bit. Few performance mods, new bodykit, custom paint, mags. A shop that happy to work with u and ur ideas but tellin ya 'thats a shit idea' if it is. (old mechanic great for that, upfront on everything.) Cost isnt important, but some who can do it for what they say and not spin bs is always respected :) time frame of work is irrelevant. thanks heaps for any recs.

also spent two hours this morn searchin for pics/web sites for bodykits, bout to start bashing head on keyboard... if anyone can give any good links would be much appreciated :(

cheers xp

Welcome to SAUWA. And is this your first post in 2 years? Lol

I work at Malaga Auto Repairs in Malaga, and we do this sort of thing quite alot, fixing up cars to get them over the pits. Not sure if the boss will accept yours, but its worth a try. My boss is very honest, and wont scam you at all. The number is 9249 2775.

Other then that, have a look at the Workshop thread at the top of this page. You'll find some good info in there.

As for bodykits, you cannot go past Fibrevision in Welshpool I think it is. Do a search on the net, and you should come up with a number.

This thread is a summary of workshops/smash repairers etc, so should help... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html

Lately I've been going to Tenagah Motorsports, found them to be excellent ...so I definitely recommend them for upgrades & services.

Should be easily able to do any work required to get your 32 over the pits also.

As for panel & paint work, can't go past Damage Control, top notch.

+1 for Tenagah Motorsport

Abdus is a champ

as for getting it over the pits and if you want all that kinda stuff done as well as mods all in the one place, go to Danny at Imports101

he bought an R34 JUST for compliance and parts for the pits... doesn't use it for anything else, he's put way too many R32's through the pits to not know what needs to be done upside down and inside out...

+1 for Imports101

    • 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.
