Anyone go to Premier Automotive in Mitchell? I wanna know what people think of em.

 

Also, does this Ed guy at Integra Automotive do engine conversions? I might go there and get them to quote me on dropping an RB25det into my VL. Hopefully he works saturdays? Anyways, when I go, should I say that one of you sent me?

 

 Thanks,

 Daniel

i'm sure you could talk ed into an engine swap. 25 into vl isn't all that difficult and ed knows his "rb's" inside and out. it really depends on what you want it to do i spose. and, lets face it dude, you should just say everyone here sent you... haha. ed's got a lot of happy customers.

Trojan had better be giving me and steve some money i think with all the free publicty we give them, lol

Well... I wouldnt turn a discount down if one was offered :wassup:

But honestly they deserve a good rap and I'm happy to put my name next to something that I know is going to be top notch.

I agree, never had any bad experiences with them, mines going in tommorrow for full service plus oil cooler install. I didnt even bother asking anyone else, stright to them and booked it in.

haha, thanks for the info people!

yeah, just throwing in a stock r33 rb25det with r33 auto.

Have to agree with earlier posts-stay away from Evo.

We bought our skyline from them a couple of years ago-initially service was good but our last experience has sealed there fate.

Had it there for a few weeks for sale on consignment but there didnt sell it. We picked it up and noticed the airbag warning light flashing (no problem before) so I asked them what happened-they said to bring it back and they would fix it-in the meantime we sold the car privately through the trading post. When I picked it up to hand over to the buyer they tried to charge me for a new airbag control box and commission for selling it! Go figure. Crooks I say.

more and more bad storyies about some of these places, but i have not heard any thing bad about Integra and Trojan so i would stick with what we know, oh inline and wheel factory in QBn are gold tooo

wheel factory in QBn are gold tooo

I disagree with this, but its just my personal experience, first problem was when the guy was trying to tell me my gts was front wheel drive and im like ahh...... do you know anything about these cars, should i be leaving with you?

2nd problem was when i got it back i noticed the power button had been selected on the auto box, now not saying anything, but i know i hadnt pushed it and i can picture some idiot going yay lets give it a wrap, and see what this button does, and it definately had less fuel in it. Just my personla experience. If other ppl had good service go for it. I wont return

i'll only go there for wheel repairs and i hope i never need to. i think they're wankers personally. when i was shopping for tyres, they proved to not only some $80 a tyre more expensive than pat's fyshwick, but they were incredibly condescending. i was talking to some chick there about tyre widths and tramlining and different compounds and she clearly thought i didn't know what i was on about, talking to me in "baby english". she also suggested $200 tyres a corner would suit my driving style perfectly which i took with quite a bit of offense, considering she'd never seen me drive. this was post-quickfit and i wont be returning there if i can avoid it.

Again, and I'll say this every month...

No no to EVO MOTORSPORT. I sat down yesterday and worked out they ripped me off to the tune of $4000 which I'll never see again, but I consider it payment to ensure none of you guys are ripped off by them! I've been saving over the last few months to re - buy the stuf I thought I had.

Chris seems nice, but is nothing but a hard sales man. Don't get suckered. The way I was ripped off - there is no excuse. I hope they go under.

wheel factory turned into a bunch of dipshit yobbos as soon as quickfit took over it... only place ill really consider getting tyres now from is Tempe :)

Always get my tyres from Tempe-there know what there on about and do the best deals-worth the drive!

... only place ill really consider getting tyres now from is Tempe :)

not to disagree with you, but one of my mate's bout some wheels there about a year ago and when he whent to pick up the car the rear wheels had no center caps, he was told they didn't have them in stock and would have to order them, then two mounths latter after contiualy hounding them they said they dont make them any more so he got stuck with rear wheels that looked s@#*! and is still trying to sell them, so he's never going back!

If you're after tyres then consider Tyre Power in Tuggeranong. The owners a nice bloke and has looked at my car on a few occassions. I'm planning to purchase a full set of tyres off them in the next coming months. No complaints. And the guys treat the car with respect when they take it for a drive.

I went and got a fairly rough quote off ed today, he seems like a pretty cool bloke, and definitly knew what he was talking about. I'll defnitly be goin to him to get the job done. I said all you guys sent me! :Pimp2:

    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
