Hi there guys,

Ive moved to Mill Park and now im after a work shop fairly close to home ?? I use to go too PRO TEK and if i cant find any near here i'll head bak there as joe and dom are great. And trust them with my R.

So if anybody knows of any good workshops near me that would be much appreciated :P

Cheers Paul

Theres a few in Campbellfield and Thomastown

there's plenty around.

for spares though, I'd recomend NOT buying from anywhere in the northern suburbs (unless I've missed any good ones). They always seem to want too much for the most basic parts.

I have a gun metal grey 32GTR, But i dont drive it much because iam still on my P plates with only one point. so it sux big time.

Hey i too am in the northern suburbs, and im just wondering about these 'performance' workshops.. what are they like with just basic servicing/tuning? I too am still on my Ps and a full-time student so im not looking for a workshop to build me a monster, just wanting a few tuning issues sorted out. Would these places (Bresciani, Race Pace etc..) even bother with someone like me? Or only the guys with big bucks looking to run quick times..

Any advice on where to go for minor issues like these?

Thanks

Ric

Mines black, has SAU stickers on the qtr windows. There a silver 33gtr round the corner from me and a white one as well I see getting around a bit. My daily is a yellow 88 astra, so if you see one of them hooning around it'll probably be me :woot:

They wouldnt care money is money at the end of the day.

i'm in Resa and I take mine down to racepace. find it to be more than worth the trip

I guess it come's down to budget, Racepace is number one but for a tune it might cost more then other work shops. But if you do have the cash i say go racepace.

well I recommend Centreline for suspension stuff, they also do welding and a bunch of other stuff..

workshops - there's JPC in thomastown for tuning or general repairs, Promaz in Epping seem alright, and one of the Bresciani boys just opened his own shop with a dyno.. but I forget where it is (epping somewhere) or the name of it.. but it was something lame.. lol :)

Don't know if I recommend any of those tho as I have limited experience with them so I'm undecided.

If you want a tune it's well worth going to Racepace.

I had a bad experience with Protek, but each to their own.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
