Hi Guys,

Well I just moved to Brissie recently and brought my R34 over with me from WA. So being new over here I don't know any of the workshops, So if anyone could recommend some places near me where I could get some good quality work done (and at a decent price) would be great.

I am currently living in Sherwood, so I'm close to Moorooka/Indooropilly (if that helps), and currently I'm looking to get a new 3" full stainless steel exhaust system fitted and soon some Coil-overs. Also my car is almost due for a service (I used to do it myself back in Perth, but since moving here I don't have the space or the tools to do it at the moment).

So if anyone knows a good exhaust place and maybe somewhere that will take good care of my car for a service would be really helpful. Also any other suggestions of good workshops for any future work I get done is appreciated.

Thx for any help. :D

Dan at Elite Racing Developments, he's at Alex Hills (bayside) but is worth the short trip. He'll do an oil change all the way through to full engine builds and I've not seen anyone who looks after customers better.

For exhaust work I have been to Rob Bliss Exhausts and was extremely happy with the work done.

yeh maby they are..ive just had bad dealings with them.. ive had my car there.. and 2 of my mates had theres in there all around the same time.. and all 3 came out with other problems that the cars didnt have before they went in..also a mate of mine used to work there and he even advises strongly against going there. fair enough they have a way bigger workshop and alot more cleaner then ttr but all the things ive had done and mates had done at ttr every 1 has been 100% happy with the job and the price...

so if you want to go to predator and pay $2500 for a frontmount on a stocko skyline $2500 to install standard clutch.. $700 to put an airpod on.. $400 to install turbo timer.. you could even spend tens of thousands and take there advise.. then within a week or 2 the airpod sucks thru your turbo sending shit every were.. costing you over $15000 just cause you took Matt Simpsons from predators advise...

(When really he isnt even a qualified machanic) true fact that

(i could go on for ages with storeys of f**k ups from there)

ahh sorry if i seem like a bit of a wanker... its just alot of money ive seen be spent in that shop just to spend more money to fix there f**kups

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
