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

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
