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

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
