Guys, don't know how you do things but in my town, when someone does a good job, they get rewarded... I have owned imports since around 1997, and over that time I have often required the use of mechanics. I have used probably around 7 or 8 different workshops and found happiness with two, one being Rob Rigoli albeit yes he can be expensive but damn he knows how to make the machines fly...and secondly, a guy Duncan recommended to me at Annandale. Now of the 7 or 8 guys, I have found two to be good, the other 5 were basically pitiful and one I seriously wouldn't stop my car if he was crossing the road, however this is a positive story, I went to Nathan at Grey Imports at Annandale on Duncan's advice, I don't know Duncan from a bar of soap and didn't have much time to talk to Nathan, I need a transplant motor for the R33, putting a head on a new bottom end, not only was he one of the cheapest guys around, but nothing was ever a problem. Was always honest and did his best to get it going for me, and not only get it going but do the job well, I honestly feel good having spent my money with him and really recommend his services to anyone else out there. If you are sick of being ripped off, having troubles with wank3r$ who try to charge you way too much just because it's an import or just generally stuff you around, go to Nathan, I'm fussy with my money and can honestly say he;s one of the good guys in this area... p.s. thanks for the contact Duncan.

good to hear he looked after you :D its always good to hear a great workshop story among all the bad stories....

I cam across them trying to get one of Pete's wrecks registered and Nathan was always reliable, professional and at a good price :(

Highly recommended

My other rant's aside, haven't used UAS so can't comment but would definately be able to say that Nathan is the #1 import workshop in Sydney for reliability, knowledge and honesty.

Hmmm do feel somewhat sorry for him, his apprentice left a boost pack in my boot, sent his apprentice all the way from annandale to Penrith to get it, and my car was in the booth :-( dayum.

Well that's not a bad, idea, I should take the boys a box ehh... was like something out of a movie this morning though, had to pick up a car load full for my gf's school fundraiser (and she's a teacher so no jokes about me liking young kiddies!!!) we had something like 140 BOXES in my magna station wagon, the people in the shop stopped eating, looked at them wheeling trolley's out to me, and my lard ass standing there smiling they all cracked up...even fat people have feelings!!!

yeah we were around there taking the mud out of the 200b diff and replacing it with oil :)

Nathan did a great job welding it too, should be more fun to drive now :D

No dyno Jimbo, just workshop and 15yo compliance

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
