Anyway........... :ermm:

I think we all got a bit carried away for a while there.

I assume that the point of this thread is just to make suggestions on "Where to get your Skyline serviced" so here are my suggestions (take them or leave them):

1. Extreme Street Performance

2. Trojan Motorsport

3. Techworkz Automotive

These are the shops that have looked after me many times in the past and in my opinion are the only workshops worth taking your pride and joy to for tuning, servicing, modifications in or around Canberra.

Done :)

Hey guys,

Looking to get a nistune ECU for my Stagea. Nistune because I'm budget conscious.. but I havent been able to find much info on who in Canberra has experience tuning these things. I walked into DTS today and they had no idea what I was talking about.

I've searched SAU, but was looking for some local (ACT) knowledge and/or opinion.

Thanks for that. The reason I highlighted techworkz was because they're close to my work and just convenient for me. I'd love to get my car to ESP or Trojan as they are known for working on RB's, but unfortunately unable to get there without it interfering with work.

Ill give them a call and suss it out.

Ok.. so turns out that they don't do any tuning because they don't have a dyno. They're happy to install etc, but organise tuning via ESP. *sigh*

Why would that be a problem?

Drop your car off at Techworkz for a day or so and then pick it up when it's done... They'll take it to ESP and have it tuned for you, it's a win-win situation :)

I hate this thread - there's heaps of comments in here on people's thoughts on workshops. Obviously the bad stuff can't be written.

I think we should lock it like they do in NSW when people ask these same questions. People need to call around and make up their own minds because all workshops come with good and bad stories.

send it to sydney and use it as an excuse for a day trip up there

Isn't there some discussion about having it tuned locally vs interstate? The whole air pressure at home and all that?

lol, but dont get me wrong.. love a roadtrip.

why would you pay for a contractor to add a margin to someone you can deal with direct?

Most likely will head over to ESP and get it tuned and all that by them directly. I am after convenience, but at the same time I want to save $$$ anywhere I can.

The whole reason for this is because I was just after convenience.

I hope I didn't come across like I didn't like one shop over the other, I just wanted to see what option best suited me.

Not this thread again! Lol.

I was wondering if there was a tyre shop around that treats cars like 'ours' with care. The reason I ask is because this particular shop in Tuggeranong, where i took my Stagea to, sped up to the hoists and smashed the front lip against the ramp. EVEN after I pointed out that it may happen! Not to mention that he sat in my car and finished the last puff of his ciggerette and threw it on the ground.

I will soon be buying new rims and will require rubber for them, and I would like to bring it to a place where I will have piece of mind knowing the rim and finish won't be damaged and my newly repaired front lip will not cop a beating. heheh!

Please feel free to PM me to avoid the inevitable debate.

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
