Hi, after doing some searching on SAU I couldn't find a related post for the Sydney region so I'm making this post.

Does anyone know of or recommend any mechanic shops that specialise in VQ/Nissan/Import vehicles within the Sydney region?

Looking for a shop to get my 370GT regularly serviced and potentially tuned in the future.

Thanks :)

Hello Daniel, I have been taking my car to Pro Works Automotive in Matraville Sydney for about 7 years now. http://proworksautomotive.com.au/ They have worked on a lot of v35's and jdm cars for servicing and can also do wheel alignment and tyre refitting. As for tuning, I took my car to DVS TUNING and had a uprev tune done. Jez is very reputable at tuning nissan and ute platforms. - https://dvstuning.com.au/

No recommendation or any real personal experience, but I recently spoke on the phone with who I think is the owner of Jax at Marrickville. I was looking for a quick pink slip, and my local Jax had closed and I was auto-routed there. When he asked what car I had (2008 370GT Coupe), he informed me he used to own one himself.

on a side, I brought my car from VIC and when another shop did the required blue slip for rego transfer across state lines, they wrote the wrong year as 2018 instead of 2008 (or it was typed incorrectly at the motor registry), so I didnt need one, which was a blessing since I was pushed for time. But Im not too worried as the correct year is on my third party and on my normal insurance.

I've been recommended John Psaltis at 104 Old Pittwater Road in Brookvale. He has a good workshop and knows his stuff – his number is 9939 2262. To be clear, I haven't used him myself - he is on my list of places to call if I need something done however.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
