Mechanics In Newcastle

[wedge_r34gtr]

I just bought my first skyline (yay!!!) and i'm looking for a good mechanic in the newcastle area that has had experince with gtr's to drop fluids, wheel alignment, look over a few things, etc.

I'm currently working in perth until the end of feb, so i don't have the time (or access to the car for that matter) to do it myself.

Any suggestions?

DO NOT GO TO A RANDOM LOCAL MECHANIC!!! My one day clutch change turned into a disaster because an "experienced mechanic who has worked on race cars" didnt understand a pull type clutch.

Do a search, most of these threads have been closed but are still there. PM me if you want my baf experiences in newcastle.

When I sold my 34 I warned the guy about various places, and suggested revolution racing as there's some positive posts around for them, never been there myself tho.

Be really careful where you go, there's so many horror stories on sau. And every mechanic or tyre joint will tell you they've done heaps of skylines, all they want is your money and to take your car for a thrash.

Good luck mate

Thanks for the advice Galois,

I've heard the horror stories myself, thats why i want fellow owners opinions first.

i'll throw you a pm and do a search.

cheers.

Blacktrack, Justin does good work (not sure about skylines specifically but he does everything) but it can be a bit hard to get in contact with him and there can be a wait to get work done. Best to drop by if you can - he is in Thornton.

Give Geoff a call at Monaco performance at Kotara he is a distributor for revolution race gear and does mechanical work also. He is who Galious is talking about.

Justin at black track also does good work.

And Paul at hunter Thomas automotive is good too.

Feel free to pm me if you need any help .

Cheers Ryan

Paul from hunter and thomas is ok however my experience with him has not been good, miss diagnosed acouple of simple faults which i should not have been so lazy and done the work myself. Skaza automotive at cardiff are good and do a bit of performance work or you can give paul from red r racing a email and see if he will do the work or at least check it over for you he knows gtrs inside and out. His web site is www.twoogle.com.au
