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

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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
