Just Bought A 32, Where Are Some Good But Reasonably Priced Workshops In The South East?


Recommended Posts

Just picked up a mates gtst for a pittance but it needs some serious attention mechanically

I used to take my GTR to RE customs but it looks like their phone is off, ill go by their after work to see if they're still open

Can someone recommend a good reliable but reasonably priced workshop in the south east i can get it towed to, cant trust the drive, rather spend on a tow than damage the hydraulic / power steering system and cooling system.

ive read on hear about sabbadin automotive being ok, would like other suggestions, will try speak to both these people after work today

thanks in advance

i live south east, i know chasers is good but ill go speak to OTR, Sabbadin and see what happened to RE customs

anyone know if RE is still around, all these shops are relatively close to each other

thanks for the quick replys and information!!

what shop would be the best to source second hand parts and install them?

I thought otr is a supplier?

Sabbadin is great!

Chasers would be my bet

They have a workshop...they do very cheap work. My turbo install was $280 including removal and replacement of broken exhaust manifold studs.

wait, birds, were you talking about Sabbadin or chasers or your original recommendation of OTR?

im a bit giddy about the car, i re-read the thread and i think you mean OTR

Thanks!

RE customs moved shop to a few factories down. my run-ins with them over the last 12 months have not been positive.

+1 for sabbadin, also Ace Dyno + workshop in clayton is round that area. Anthony is a good guy.

Was talking about OTR...nice and helpful guys. Sabbadin also do great work, I don't imagine them being as cheap as OTR though.

Brad from RE now works at RTR in Dandenong. I had them do a wheel bearing and a service and we had the Member Renewal / Dyno Day there. I'll be going back for sure.

yeh sabbadin arent the cheapest, but you definitely pay for a good job done. hes worked on all of my cars.

Ive taken birds advice and organized things with OTR Rich

nice! i never knew they did service work, definitely wouldve gone to them if I knew

RTR is great, great mechanics there, but are a little expensive.

    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
