Hey Guys,

It's getting close to that time again where i need to get my beloved 250GT Four Door serviced.

Anyone know any good mechanics in the western Sydney region which do a decent service, also looking to start modding the car, any place that particularly good with jap imports?

i will venture into eastern suburbs as well if need be.


Thanks,


Vince

I didn't think the AWD 250gt was on the SEVS list.. how did you get one complied? personal import? (lived in Japan for a while)

Sorry.. don't know any good mechanics in Sydney..

If you find one, let me know.

I get my car worked on (so far only Z-tube and Plenum chamber) at Bondi Junction, the guy that owns the shop, owns a GTR.

Sorry.. I misread your original post.. it though you said 250GT Four. which was the AWD version.. totally missed the 'Door' part.. unless your later edit changed this part??

lol yes guilty i forgot to put door on the first post lol saw what you said and thought oh F**k and changed it lol, yes it is indeed a rear wheel four door sedan,

really hoping someone knows a good place that i can trust, was loooking at getting a shift kit installed and a couple of the so called "trans speacialists" said they do not make transgo for my car, which i believe is complete BS anyway, again if anyone knows hit me up would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Try IS Motor Racing over at Rockdale in Sydney. I take my v35 there to get serviced, they are pretty good and don't charge an arm or a leg.

Thanks Mike really appreciate it, know if they are good with installing mods and whatnot?

cheers, any other places would be great so i can have a look around see who is the best!

That's pretty much what they do haha. Give them a call and speak to Indy.

if you can swing a spanner you can do a basic oil change and some entry level mods

Save some cash and learn about the car. If you are not super confident in being able to check problems ect just get every 2nd service done somewhere and get them to give it a full once over for your more infrequent consumables like belts ect

^this is true

You will feel more confident and fulfilled after you've done it yourself as well

I agree with the last two comments however i dont have the time to learn and everytime i try and "fix" Things i end up in more trouble than i was in the beginning lol, my little brother is a mechanic and he can service it for me, however i need a log book service to keep my warrenty.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
