Seeing as these v35's arent that common, it is rarer to find someone who has worked on these cars a lot and so was wondering if you're in brisbane - can you give me your contact for the guy you trust to service your beloved v35. Have been recommend by a few to try GT Auto Garage at Newmarket, they look promising but also expensive. They're also moving away from using Motul oil, and standing behind Redline - anyone heard of this?

Would be great to get a short list of recommendations...

carmen imports. craig does servicing and compliance . he also owns a few of these himself. wife drives a M35 stagea ARX.

Thanks chris, will check out their website of they have one. BTW, want to have you look at my v35 in the not too distant future about the fm expander - want to get my 106.9 station going.

anyone else have other places they take their v35 to?

I'm looking to get a 2003 model 350GT 2 door coupe auto/triptronic and unfortunately one of the main factors involved in buying is where to get it serviced. I work on the southside of brisbane - somewhere close to there that could service the car would be ideal. What about a workshop/mechanic that say they can service a 350Z? From what I have read they share alot of similar parts and have the same engine etc.

What about on the goldcoast for servicing? I usually do it all myself but i got third party warranty when i brought the car (anyone know the ins and outs with these warranty things? What can you do yourself and still be covered, what must be done by a mechanic?) THanks

i used K&G Automotive Servicing in Underwood 38083321 after someone on this forum recommended them. in teh 10 years iv been driving, best experience iv ever had with a workshop doing a service for me. highly recommended.. ill be booking in there again for my next serve in a few weeks time.

I've used Luke at Auto Co Mechanical/LPG (Woolloongabba) 3891 2511 - I have great respect and trust in him with my car.

I've also used Chris at Doug Maurer Motor Repairs (Tweed Heads) 55366 663 - is pretty cluey on imports in general, which is a bonus and always has time for you, very patient!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
