Booked the car in last week to have the timing belt and water pump changed...

Have to say I couldnt recommend these guys enough, they did it all with ease, even fitted a GTR n1 pump...

I went off to a confrence in the morning and picked it up just after 5 in the arfternoon... They were extremely helpfull and i'll be getting all my work done there in the future...

They can do pretty much anything I think, so give them a call next time your in the market for some mech work!

Agreed.

I recently had a heap of mods installed by Gavin and his team.

He also found other issues that I got him to fix too. It cost me, but in the end better than something major happening, and relieved that he found them at all.

I had my Apexi PFC installed by another mob in Brisbane - and apparently they left it a base tune. Grrr.

After Gavin properly tuned the ECU, the car feels great.

They get my business from now on.

here here...

I've owned my car coming on 3 and half years and Gavin is the only person other than me to have worked ondriven it.

We've been through exhaust sensors reading 4000 deg to cracking an exhaust manifold in half...I also, can't recommend him enough and am sure there will be many a good post to follow.

Well I travelled 30 hrs down and back from Townsville to see Gavin and he definately gets my vote the guy and his team were fantastic. He accomadated us very well taking the time out when i arrived to go through all the gear i had (quite a bit) for him to fit to my car and he understood that i was pushed for time and had to get back to townsville for work so just concentrated on my car for two weeks so it would be finished, he is definitely a dying breed in the auto industry where customer satisfaction comes first . :D

Oh, here we go.. Now everyone wants to blow his horn eh?

I've been saying for over a year that Gavin is the man for Nissan + tuning + service and people have said "no go to this place".

Meh, they are more friends to me now than a mechanic :)

Christmas card buddies.. you know the story :)

Best. Mechanic. Ever.

Still no one understands why I drive to laborador to get my car fixed/serviced. Now you all know why.

And if it wasn't for me sitting here saying "GO TO GAVIN... GO TO GAVIN" no one would have known about him :)

You all know how much I baby my car, and for me to trust him or any of the other mechanics in his workshops says a lot :)

We also need to give recommendation to the other guys in the workshop. They seem to be forgotten when people say "Gavin Woods" yet the other guys do most of the work while gavins off in other parts of the country doing tuning :)

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
