I do get all of my work done at PERFORMANCE GARAGE in phillip by danny he knows his cars thats for sure no job too big or too small, servicing to engine conversions.

have to agree, Danny has done a fair bit of work on my 200 and he's always helpful, honest and very competively priced.

Highly recomend: 0437603885

While I'm replacing my Turbo and putting my Clutch & Brake pedal in I decided to do a bit of maintenance work on the old RB25. While pulling the intake piping apart, I've managed to split quite a few hoses both for oil and intake. Who knows a good place to go to get replacement pipes & so on? I know autobarn have some silicon hoses for the intake, but I was thinking more for the oil lines. Otherwise I'll just go to Nissan and get the factory ones.

do you know the address at all? can't seem to find them online or in the yellow pages..

I know I sound like a broken record at times on here - But i can't recommend Marc, Stewie and the boys down at Belconnen Discount Tyre Service enough. Sure my car isn't on time - but they get things done properly and keep me informed all the way.

Seriously.

I'd recommend them for anything upto performance tuning/turbo work - even then, i'd probably give them a go.

I concur, they're doing my gearbox conversion for me. It's a bit of a tricky swap but they're still willing to give it a go. It helps that Marc has a manual Stagea already to compare with.

Thx for the tip about Goodyear tyres in Belco, have taken the car there before, but didn't know they specialised in servicing imports to. Very happy with their other work, so may book in the car to get servicing done, as im on the northside as well.

Well the owner has had 2 Stageas now and also an ATESSA Bluebird. I don't know if they specialise in them, but they're certainly getting to know them.

The boys are starting to know them, quite a few skylines are going through there.

I've been looking for a good deal on Turbos for my GTR, so I called COOMA DIESEL and unfortunately had to talk to a very rude, sarcastic woman who not only wouldn't give me even a $50 discount on 2 X $1,500 turbos, but wouldn't even TELL ME WHAT THE PART WAS!!!! unless I agreed to purchase them. I would definately recommend that everyone on this forum stay away from this place.

If anyone knows where to get a good deal on turbos I would love to know. I'm looking for ones around the 300-350 hp mark.

Sadly over the weekend i put a nice big scratch and took a chunk of paint off my front bar and decided it was time to get it resprayed (paint is crackling at the top of it etc... needs some TLC.) i'm not looking to do the whole car, just the bar. Anyone know of a good place to take it?

whatever your decision is DO NOT go to a place in Fyshwick that starts with N, contains a part of it's name that you put in your hair and is 6 letters long... I only just realised that in certain sunlight the bit's I had re-sprayed didn’t even look black almost a grey :dry:

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
