So I hadn't been down in a while thought I should go get the line washed and waxed. Turns out the place has been sold and now is a 'Magic' car wash. I can go into detail as to why I won't go back there but more importantly what's happened to the real Final Inspection, does anyone know whether they've moved or plan to open up at a new location? Rather disappointing...

As of today, Monday the 10th of November, Final Inspection will discontinue offering Car Wash Services.

We will no longer operate out of the Boutique we have occupied for almost 2 years. All Detailing Services Booked from Wednesday the 12th of November to 1st January 2009 Will Be Honoured via a Mobile Service.

Final Inspection will continue to operate in the same manner as it has been, albeit without the Wash Services normally offered at the Brunswick Site.

We will be contactable on the same details:

(03) 9387 8008

www.finalinspection.com.au

and soon, products will be available online via the fresh Online Store to be launched this Friday the 14th of November '08.

We Thankyou for all your support & custom over the past 2 years and we sincerely hope that this does not inconvenience you. A Large Franchise will operate out of the same site with Washing Services shortly.

sad, sad day but understandable and i'm glad D decided to take a break.

FIAB had state-of-the art washing facilities, and the washing procedure was first class. No other car wash in Melb could come close to what was offered there.

It's sad to see that the MF was ditched by the new owners and out came sponges and terry cloths.

D was absolutely working to the bone and washing is not what FI is about. But FI is still around as per above, just no FIAB anymore so no washing services. Keep an eye out for the new website, and big and exciting things from from FI next year :D

Still the only person in Melb that you should take your car to get detailed :D

Damian is mobile detailing at the moment, but as above no new bookings at this stage. He'll just clear out all the ones that were already booked.

If it's just a wash you're after basti, might not be an option. But if you're getting D to do a steam clean of the interior, etc... maybe a full on clean you might be able to book in. But you may as well book in a Stage 2 detail when the opportunity comes up.

    • 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.
    • Skyline R33 Series 2 sedan tail lights in excellent condition. These are becoming harder to find, especially in this state.    BOTH SETS ARE IN FANTASTIC CONDITION (REFER TO PHOTOS)    ✅ No broken covers or cracks ✅ Lenses are in flawless condition ✅ All rear mounting lugs intact ✅ Comes complete as pictured ✅ Perfect for restoration, replacement, or upgrade   These lights are ready to go, no surprises just quality OEM parts.   These are definitely one of the better sets we have seen in a while. With minimal wear and tear they will come as you see. Bear in mind they are not brand new they are almost 30 years old now. To find them in this condition isn’t easy they can only be obtained on the second hand market.   Australia Wide Postage Available At Buyers Expense.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
