Spook's_Skyline Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 well, i got my last service at the new nissan service depot at wooloongabba and i couldnt be happier with it they were cheap, went way above and beyond (they greased every lock and hinge in the car, i aint never seen that done before) did an awesome (4) wheel alignment and was still cheap as (as well as they let me know a few things i need to do next time (leaky gasket, missing bonnet rubber)) maybe they cant do all the hitech stuff gavin woods can, but screw driving all the way down the coast every 5000k ill be back there for my next service for sure (props to woman for finding them) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24652-gavin-woods-auto-tech/page/8/#findComment-670545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoix Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 yeah i was wondering why you added the last comment ;P dont read qgl much anymore, mainly because its full of shit now and the flamewars dont exist anymore. The funs gone and the nazis reign. I was going to ring today but rang outta time being sick. But I have to find someone taht can fix the air cond fan in the dash to work again it died and if I get this fmic shortly I would like someone to put it in, as I'm short of time. Mainly just want the odds and ends fixed and the car tuned up and service. I was planning on doing it at the same time,a nd getting it dyno'd and running smooth, just wondering if gavin would be able to do all this, or would I have too take my car to like 10 different car shops?

predator Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 zoix: don't be lazy and learn to DIY .. piss easy.. read my how to remove entire dash guide.. intercooler is even easier as long as you got a full kit Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24652-gavin-woods-auto-tech/page/8/#findComment-671171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoix Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 yeah i read your dash read me, its pretty easy to take apart, but the thing is I dont ahve much time these days. tadoy I wasnt felling 100% so I went out and got some cash and hunted around to see where i could get teh air cond fan checked and working. The turbo timer is just I have weird the wires to the wrong one, optput 2 is on the igition and not the other wire. fix weekend. intercooler and piping shouldnt be too hard just need grinder, drill and a coping saw/jigsaw. but first have to see what piping i get with the kit. the bar and lights are easy to take off, but its a pirck to get the bar back on. I restored a hj ute from 3 write offs,a nd painted it, so I do know a bit about handy work. Learnt most of it as a kid at dads work. Just atm Its cheaper for me to get someone else to do it while I earn the dosh, and if its all put together and serviced then tuned and dyno'd I get a car thats got the works done in one go. None of this every weekend drop off and check crap or get it serviced then next week tuned. Time is the main issue I have, its a problem to get stuff done when 14 hrs of the day your at work, and 12 on the weekends. just been lucky lately to be able to have sundays off beacuse the dollar is up and not much coming tinto australia atm.

predator Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 yup, time is money.. i wasn't really implying you were lazy just that its not too hard to do if you want to put in the time. The dash took me about 2 days work so i can see why you'd want to do get somebody else to do it if you didn't have the time!

Zoix Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 i took the dash out and tried to get the air cond fan working onthe weekend, and i put the turbo timer in, but connected a wrong wire at the key harness, so I ahve to fix that this weekend, just have the timer off till then. the steering wheel was the hardest to realign, took about 20 minutes to get the wheel on perfect. gotta get a plastic horn bit as the one in mine was broken and need a horn. went to all jap at virgina, $20 for the plastic bit wher ethe door opener is. and thats second hand. just the plastic not the lever. nad its worn a bit.

Anquetil Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Mine was in at Gavins yesterday, it took me over 3 hours to get there in peak traffic. Was impressed with his knowledge and service, still a few things to get sorted out though.

NismoGirl Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Well Dan, Gav won't have anything to do with stuff unless it's done properly. Dont go bagging him just because he won't touch your car. Theres obviously a reason why he won't touch it.
