Another plug for scott at insight...top fella

CRD too.

Adam at JEM

and Yavus at Unigroup.

wouldn't take it to anywhere that has a hill in its name or address.

100% agree with Yavus, cannot fault him on anything. I spoke to him on the phone inquiring about work to be done, he gave me a price and a time frame, which did not budge once the car was dropped off. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with and know's his sh!t

I've also been to Bel a couple of time recently and exactly as above, cannot fault the guys.

Both places excellent service and i wasn't spending big bucks either. Run of the mill stuff.

The best bet is to find somewhere you are again comfortable in taking your car to, and establish a relationship with that workshop. That way when you have future work done there, you'll have an idea of what to expect from them and they'll know what your aims are for your car.

The trouble is with this advice is every single new skyline owner has to start right at the beginning

and potentially invest time "establishing a relationship" with several workshops - that are known by

many to be second rate - before discovering that their "aims for your car" are to soak you. It can

be exceedingly expensive in time and money to do it this way.

I'd rather read a bunch of reasonably fresh experiences both good and bad then make up my mind

where to start with this magic relationship building stuff.

Are we even allowed to post a poll? one that lists 20 workshops and asks for votes on which have

provided great service and fault-free work?

Im getting quotes for some work for mine and the difference in prices is amasing, anywhere from $9,000ish to $15,000ish for basically the same job.

This sounds interesting, what exactly are you planning on getting done?

lol story of our lives, misleading quotes lol

Not surprising though. I was quoted from $350-$1200 for my oil cooler instal. The $1200 was a basic minimal quote, and my $350 quote included making custom brackets and everything needed, including a top up of Royal Purple!. Hence why i am very happy with Bel Garage!

I'm getting forged internals, reco head, gearbox reco, surge tank and other assorted snot that goes with it so i can rev it to 8k and wind up the boost to around 20psi.

My goal is 11tykwatw, LOL

So far it either going to be autosports or maytech, they both quoted around the same.

No point in having all the bolt-ons without the strength in the bottom end and the fuel system to support it.

Just need someone who can tune my bloody Link ecu, I know of 1 place for certain and anouther one said he hasnt got the soft ware but he thinks he should be fine. :)

Yavuz @ Unigroup.... # 1 in my books!

When i purchased my Silvia off the previous owner, he had been taking it to a popular garage to get a tuning issue sorted.... this 'garage' were unable to diagnose it and resided to it is just a gremlin in the PFC.....

Well first visit to Yavuz, he spent the time and found the issue!! Also found an extra 20+rwkw with a correct tune.....

My car is currently sitting in his garage and I wouldn't want it anywhere else.... well worth the money!

My 2c

+1 for Bel Garage. Only went there once to get 100,000k service done (timing belt, water pump, idler tensioner, thermostat, flush radiator). I bought all the parts, and they did it all for $500 in 1 day.

Well said!!

this is why I have their link in my sig :banana:

Yavuz @ Unigroup FTW

His customer service isn't always the quickest out there but the work that comes outta that workshop is worth the wait for.

Very trustworthy and they've been around quite a while now.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
