Hendra is not too far from Newmarket...

Mercury were advertising some special on 100k skyline servicing recently on facebook...

Its probablly the closest to you that has a good rep & very involved in the scene...

otherwise the rest of the good shops are on the southside...

Southside guy... My 100km service here

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/377777-good-mechanic-south-side-just-got-my-100km-done/page__p__6024241#entry6024241

Always take my 34 here. He also imports and does quite a few import work but isn't really big named here on SAU.

I got quoted 1600-1800 for same job at a few other known places here on SAU

+1 for ERD

[email protected] is the email addy.

+ 526 for ERD.

Currently rebuilding my engine :)

Dan is awesome to deal with, doesn't bullshit you and doesn't rip you off.

You get that you pay for and you can trust it.

I have been to 4 different shops 1 apparently "big" in the scene. All I got was trouble.

I split my work up between

ERD for Mechanical

EFI for Tuning.

imo dont go to mercury..

For every 100 happy customers there generally a few unhappy ones...

That goes for any business...

Mercury have been up and down over the years, they even f**ked over the club once...

but thats all in the past... the entire staff has changes over in the past 2-3 years...

I was just advising on whats close by as per the 'OP'

I was thinking GT Auto also, but feared the quote price so didnt mention them...

As for $1600 @ Mercury... Go fish...

If it were me id DIY, but then if you've never done one before than dont try...

Dan (ERD) will be the fairest on price i think, he is southside tho which is why i didnt mention him...

I assume you wanta drop off the car local, then cab it to work and come back for it same day or next day?

True - i just felt as though i gave them money and didnt get much in return such as customer service / quality of the work done.

I didnt want to post up exactly what happened, i wish mercury all the best for the future, but i certainly wont go back..

Yeah i understand... i felt the same way about a few others who are no longer in business (which is good)...

i just did my 100,000K service at ERD (R34 GTR)

and i can safely say it a less than $1600... lot less....

i did get the SAU QLD Club discount

Give Dan a ring

my 100K at ERD

- Gates racing belt kit

- idler bearing

- 10W40 oil "Dan asked me type of oil from range all synthetic stuff

- Water pump

- he also did a compression check and vehicle inspection

Edit - forgot also did all the diff, break and other oils as this was first major service since i imported it from jap land.

Wow - this forum is fantastic... everyone is so helpful and comes through with quality information...

My R33 GTS-T has had its 200K service done but just needs a minor service and I want a few things checked over to make sure she's 100%... Gonna give ERD a call today because they seem to have a good rep... And thanks to Goodwin for asking my question 2 days ago lol...

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
