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

prob 25mins away from you on the northside my recommendation for work shop hands down is Richard at Allstar tuning systems.. only mechanic i trust with my gtr

and theres loads of good exhaust places but again on the northside my recommendation is Les at Fat Pipes.. theres no one in the game better.. worth the trip..

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

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
