Zoix, all your problems would be fairly straight forward fixes. You should give them a go your self first.

Only thing they probably wouldnt do is the speedo.... as it could be a million different things.

Fuel sender problems and window motors have been covered on here and SDU a number of times tho.

There was an Andrew who was there. He's gone. Their was a David, he's gone now. Theres now two new guys. Really nice guys who own skylines somewhere in their families and have a genuine interest is skylines.

well atm i have been working 7 days a week, because all this shit coming in to australia for x-mas and we been exporting commodores to nz from here, also all the riveria bost to usa(****ing 1.2 million speed boats)

its been flat out and i have had a look, but really get do anything beacuse i also havent got a license. so its hard to get to that place in capalba to get parts(its like 2kms from my house).

so yeah rather pay someone to fix it then get home after a 18 hr shift have to be at work after 10 hr break and get hom to fix my car

[Zoix]

btw whats sdu?

[slamm]

I do believe SDU is Skylines down under.

Gavin was really nice when after all these props on here I took my car to him just for a service. Really impressed with his ability to tell you to go home and do it yourself. other guys would do it so more dollars go in their pockets.

and he was saying something about a nissan machine he has so it can read all the error codes that can come up in the car computer or something like that. anyone know more?

[NismoGirl]

It's a Consult Machine.

Gavin is the only other person I know of, beside Nissan Australia that are LEGALLY allowed to have these machines. They are worth emormous amounts of money and they do their job perfectly. If something with your car isn't running right, he will hook this machine up to see whats going on.

My car is data streamed everytime I go down there.

Well, I have heard many good thing about Gavin Woods, from here and other random locations. His name always seems to crop up in a positive light. I hope this is all true as I shall drop my car in there tomorrow (hopefully) as it has shat the crank case seal big time and is spraying oil everywhere. They seemed good to talk to on the phone so he is off to a good start!!

Amanda (Gavin's wife) is a gem. She keeps me entertained while I'm sitting there waiting for my car to be fixed.

You won't be dissappointed.

[Zoix]

"entertained"

what do you mean ;P

You have to be in the same room to talk endlessly? My missus just has to be near a phone / awake.

[Skyrine-Dave]

anyone know how much gavin charges to tune programmable management systems ?

its 10pm... so i cant call him

[dAVE]

um, he charges $600 for a power fc tune and install...

[dAVE]

i think.

[jlnewton]

I got my car back today and am very happy with the level of service. Pricing seems pretty good too, and it is always good to see skylines there everytime you go there.

[MotoX]

yeah, we own the warehouse jsut across the road which is next to the fusion audio place. get to see lots of skylines go around.

btw that audio place does good prices.

[knore]

just booked mine in for this week

[dangerous_daveo]

Wow, $100-150 isnt too bad, I know my dads commo normally is about that, and thats taking it to a pretty good mechanic up in brisbane (just normal cars tho) I think it will be worth taking my 1/2 skyline down to see him then

[RNS11Z]

Quick question:

Does any one know if he has built a 300rwkw + Skyline before?? And if so what are the specs

Thanks

He's built many skylines for Skyline Import at Loganlea. The guys names Ernie. Gavin has buit him many cars actually. Including a GTS-t with all GTR parts (IIRC) including all guards and stuff. Also a stagea. And every other car that Ernie has built for Zoom magazine, Gavin has done.
