GZ R33 I know what you mean that people have to be careful about what they say about workshops but how else do we find out who is good and who is bad?

I know that I myself would have saved a few bob if i had listened to the forums before booking my car into some mechanics.

EDIT

Pro Engines in Queanbeyan for engine work (if the engines out of the car), Tez Automotive in Mawson for general stuff, servicing, installing things (camshafts etc).

Only two places I would touch in Canberra (but thats just my personal opinion :P)

hey amaru is it on the road yet?

ed from tez teased me saying i couldn't get the car back till i take him for a spin, when finished, so you might end up doing the same just make sure he gets a lump in his pants when he gets outta you're car (he's a v8 man). got jake to tune, and sort out the electrical + some custom work as well.

trojan boys helped out with parts. but seriously for hardcore/custom work/tuning jakes the guy. the others are good for the usual exhaust/intercooler/oil change etc. although just recently the trojan boys just did a conversion: r33 gts-t with t88h-33d rb26dett transplant as well as fitting motor and gearbox from a tt supra in a NA aero top, and they used jake for tuning, professionally done and engineered.

but being close to christmas good luck getting any work done as just about everyone here + sydney are fully booked out.

Hey

Nah its not back in the road yet, should (crossing fingers) have it back Friday afternoon... then the painful part of not being able to drive it hard till its run in :)

Trojan are about the only place in canberra i havnt dealt with, had bad experiances with everyone else, and i was reccomended away from jakes. Was told although hes the best in canberra for power fc, he still cant get it spot on and its worth spending the extra cash going to sydney to get it tuned properly.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
