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.

    • 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.
