Hey guys I'm looking for a new mechanic/tuner on the Gold Coast area as Keith from K-tune has now closed his garage.

Preferably around the Robina/varsity

I've heard of redline EFI in burleigh not sure if they're any good?

Also wanting to get a NIStune done so would like a place that can do this.

Any ideas or feedback would be awesome.

Cheers,

Jaylon

Gavin Woods in Arundel but I use EFI Performance at Stapylton-worth the drive up there as you have EFI & ERD all within 500m. EFI do Nistune, Dan at ERD certainly knows his RB's & does great work too.

Have used a couple of different tuners now & Seano at EFI is in my opinion by far the best. After sales support too-they will at least call you back-many dont

Do you know why he closed?

He tuned my car earlier this year and it was absolutely terrible.

Prob not enough business, last time I spoke to him he said it was really quiet and it was just him working there.

Well if it was terrible then I'm glad he has closed ha.

Tru, yeah ERD helped me when I was havin a misfire - good service for sure!

But just a little bit too far for me...

As I said I'll get the NIStune done by EFI but just need a local mechanic.

It's a shame that there's no reputable mechanics this end of the Gold Coast.

Might try Redline EFI to see what they're like just coz it's nice and close...

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
