Gday everyone,

Ive been taking my HSV to the same workshop for 6 years now because i have built up a great relationship and trust the guys that work on it.

As im new to the Skyline scene and more so the Jap scene i have no idea at all where to take my R32 GTS-T with RB25 (will be a drift car) when it finally arrives. Pritty much straight away i need to get an aftermarket computer and have it tuned. As this is such a major thing i want to get it right the first time and both not have my engine destroyed and also have a great reliable tune.

Where do you guys take your cars and whats your thoughts? Also those to avoid would be great.

Yes i know i could search and i have, but im after opinions and and first hand advice.

Cheers

Andrew Suvajac at ASR automotive (Castle Hill) 02 8677 3000 is the only mechanic I take my car to. Used to work at UAS, myself and several others (including S15 and Skyline owners) followed him when he left. Good bloke and good mechanic.

Croydon Racing Developments - but I think they only deal with big buck drag, circuit and street cars. Don't think they do much in the way of drift setups. They are the undisputed GTR kings from back in the day :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
