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 :)

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
