Hey guys,

Had a friend who took his skyline to Autostyle Garage at Beverly Hills just for a minor servie, i went with him... amazing work going through there- R35's, Ferrari's, Porsche's, Lambo's, etc. They were working on a 1100HP+ Supercharged XB Falcon while i was there, off its head. Believe it or not, reasonably priced too for a mechanics who you'd think would be expensive dealing with the prestiege market... What does everyone else think of the service there? whoose been there?

I sore they had the TUFGTR, the black one... nutts. lol! RB26 2.8L stroker kit making 650KW ATW :O

Thanx for the message there Dan... as established, that happened along time ago! New management & ownership are running the workshop now!!

I still recomend Autostyle, im thinking also of taking my car there for some work. I do know they do FREE QUOTES over the phone, thats how we booked in the service on the Skyline (R34), i think the number is 9570 1066 and the best guy to speak to is Frank lol

Could you share the story with me as well. I'm looking for a new mechanic to service my v35.

Me too please if you don't mind. You always hear the good stuff publicly but it's behind closed doors that the bad stuff comes out too.

Also this thread sounds very much like an ad. Are there places that don't do free quotes over the phone? Or do you mean quote as in the beverly hills place will quote you and honour it, because I've found that if there's one broken or worn or corroded bolt or something the labour price goes up and the quote goes out the window...

haha i run an advertising/PR business, apologies if any language or wording used implied that.. dont mistake this for an advertisement, i was just wondering peoples opinion of the workshop and if anyone else had gone there from the forum?

It is sad to see though that one story from 3years ago brings bad attention to the workshop today, im sure there's bad stories about every workshop in Australia floating around...even the well known one's! Things change in my opinion, if you look at the recent work that has been done from there- i think the game has been stepped up alot (in both better quality of work & service). I dont think they would be working on Lambo's & Ferrari's or even 1000+ HP cars if they didn't have a clue whats going on!! The proof is in the pudding, the work thats gone through... we've taken an R34 there, be the judge for yourself is all i can say- thats my opinion!

dont wanna be a dickhead but ur the guy that runs east coast cruzin yeah?? if so LU57IN is helpiing spread the word about Autostyle and in return have lambos and shit come on the cruises. All i know about Autostyle is that they have awsome cars on display. I drive past there basically everyday.

:/ Yeah i am man haha... cheers for that!! Got a madd one coming up in afew weeks to Palm Beach YEEWW

When i heard one of my mate taking the car there to their workshop, i thought i'd go along with him to see the work they do there... and have a chat to the guys aswell!! The Lambos and stuff aside from attenting my cruises, dont get it mixed up- this isnt a promotion or advertisements for the workshop... its just a discussion. So back to the topic... whose been there? And what did you think of what you got?

The workshop is seperate right?? its near the amber at beverly hills yeh?

all i know is the Showroom is usually packed with some awsome cars and tough GTR's

Youtube examples

Niccee! Those video's are sick... crazy GTR's!!! Nuttz how he can drifit an AWD at such high speed :ninja: i want to be able to do that. lol! I managed to film a Gallardo pulling out of the Garage when i was there too; its on the East Coast facebook page if anyone wants to check it out.

Yeah the workshop is seperate, its around the corner from the showroom is all i know, i wasnt driving... Im not very familiar with Beverly Hills area. I looked on their website, they are located on Penshurst Street: AutoStyle Garage Website!

In the showroom they had some crazy stuff ay haha. That RX4 & Yellow R32 GTR looked the goods harrddd :w00t: Ferrari's and Lambo's, i'll keep dreaming :P

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
