As i'm sure many of you are aware, i will soon be the proud owner of an R33 Series II. I live in the Tuggeranong area and was wondering where i should go to get my car serviced, who is recommended and more importantly who to keep away from. I heard the mechanic at EVO motorsport is pretty good, does anyone here use him?

Thanks in advance.

Ed at Tez Automotive in Mawson, tell him Nik sent you and he should look after you :D

definite No to Evo

Agree with Amaru ALL the way -definite YES to Tez - I had my baby there today for some work - I have NOTHING but praise for these guys. They know Skylines and love 'em....when you tell Ed that Nik (Amaru) sent you also tell them that Debbie with the white Skyline said to go there as well....

I work with a guy that owns a twin turbo Supra - he now goes to Ed as well and loves the place......

--and if you have to wait for 15 mins while they do something, walk about three doors up and have a coffee and cake at the little Cafe (forget the name of the place)

:):P:)

does any one use f&f imports? i got my last one serviced there by dave(champion) so i fugured i'd just get my line done there aswell

I've had a few services done there. I have no complaints so far. I wouldn't buy any major replacement parts from them though, the quote they gave me for and exhaust wasn't great. They do seem reasonably professional though.

polishstorm> thanks for the info, will keep that one in mind. I went to F&F imports when originally scoping out what cars were around. One car on the lot was missing an air conditioning unit from the dash if i remember correctly, as well as the stereo. $24K.... :rant:

For those interested, Ed left Tez in Mawson the other day and is now working out at Integra Automotive in Queanbeyan. Its the workshop at the Ampol service station on Lanyon Drive, so anyone that has used him before and knows how good he is, and anyone needing any mechanical work, go out and support him :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
