Can anyone from Newcastle recommend a quality GTR specialist mechanic / tuner / engine builder in Newcastle? I have a friend who needs some work done on his GTR and he's new to the game so trying to help out.

Thank you.

:blink:

Only go to a registered quality workshop bud, or you will regret it in the long run. NO BACK YARDERS.

There is only two that I do use and would happily recommend.

Paul @ Hunter Thomas

Denis @ Denstog

PM me if you need any more info

Here is a horra story for you. I took my gtr to my regular mechanic to change a timing belt and a oil seal behind it and it took 3 weeks to do. while it was there he managed to put a hole in the radiator, strip the sump plug, and put a ding in the front radiator support from when he was using a manual impact wrench and missed lol. So even your own mechanic can stuff up. I look after 6 cars and now he wont see any of em and ripped off all his stickers he puts on. have a nice day.

only dude i use in newcastle is kyle

top block top price

hes a backyarder but he is a actual mechanic ive pm'd you his number

and he is good looking

hawt!

yeah he's the only person id let touch my car in Newy...Newcastle has nothing in the way of reputable mechanics/engine builders. Thats the reason i do all my own stuff...im very fussy. No tuner's here either, i fly Mark down from Brisbane when i need him.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
