Hi All,

I was reading a thread a while back about a workshop at Lonsdale that was getting rave reviews. I've tried searching, but can't find the thread again. Can anyone tell me what the name of the workshop is?

Cheers guys :P

Yeah, i take my Car to HPIAB, he is a workshop mainly, but is also a store, mainly online/email/phone orders etc. You are always going to find positives and negatives with any workshop you look at, it just comes down to your experience with them. I have not had any issues with HPIAB, and i get along with them rather well and do suggest them, as will 2-3 other members on here.

I know there was another workshop, further south, at Hackham that was getting good reviews a few weeks back...something like Classic Performance, but i am not aware of any other workshops at Lonsdale.

Not sure where he is, But Steve Cramp from Manta is very highly rated and he's down the south area...

Yeah Classic Performance.

The guy used to operate the dyno at Graeme West workshop and then opened up his own place down Hackham way.

I take my GTR there now since Boostworx moved 394857390487503875k's up north. Awesome service and awesome people :P they even gave me a tour of the workshop and dyno cell when I first went there.

Oh and their dyno cell is AMAZING. If I could live in it, I would. I would even hold my babies in there. If the cell had a womb.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
