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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
