I had "No Bullshit Imports" (on the Northern Beaches) change my turbo recently. Nice blokes there, really know their stuff.

Although they take a bit longer to do stuff, their excellent hourly rate more than makes up for it. They don't charge any more (or less) if they are doing something for the first time - they will tell you up front (hence the name 'No Bullshit Imports")

They are more than capable and really looked after me - Even had a beer with them after the job.

Cheers

Brendan, drinking a beer by yourself after you've changed turbos, still counts as drinking alone! Despite the 'work' completed prior to the drinking (or was it during?)...

:D

As i am a mechanic my skyline wont ever see a workshop, i have seen to many dodgy things in my time although yes, some of us do try to do a good job and dont overcharge. I look after a number of friends skylines, supras and other imports as well as many more mundane vehicles and they all run beautifully! Unfortunatly its true that a good mechanic is very hard to find so when you do find a one that is honest and knows his stuff stick with.

Well I did actually change my oil (I'm not a complete halfwit). However, it wasn't simply the red light on the dash for oil, it was some other indicator below my steering wheel. That's why I was slightly interesting as to why it wasn't going off. Turned out it was just an aftermarket thing which was basically useless and displaying nothing (but the guys couldnt figure out how to reset it). It is where most people put their turbo timers (bottom left of the steering wheel).

edit: Hairball has issues. PM for details.

Lets get a list then

Unique Autosports = 90ph (tuning 130 p/h)

Croydon Racing Development =

Powerplay = 80ph

BD4's = 80ph

Belgarage = 60ph (has set price for most work)

Also..

does anyone have the phone number for some of these workshops.. Lets get a list going of work shops and hourly rates with phone numbers and suburb. It might save some future questions and help people look around.

Abobob - your right eh.. If a workshop charges half but take 3 times as long you lose out eh

Brendan.. maybe we can get a partnership between No Bullshit imports and Carlos Racing Development.

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
