I like a workshop that has a price list like that..  

belgarage might see me for some work very soon I think

I went out to BEL one day and the guys there all look the part. I dont mean to sound racist but when every single person at the garage is speaking Japanese and there is RB engines in various states all over the workshop and a tricked out S15 in the front you feel like you're in the right place.

Also those guys did Tony's RB25 buildup so he would probably know a bit more about the quality of their work.

I have been dealing with Nathan @ Grey Imports as he is doing the ADR'ing on my R32 GT-R. While I can't speak for his his work as yet, I can say that he seem like a top bloke: extremely straight forward, always has plenty of tips, and nothing seems too much trouble.

need a good clean and your on your way

Cleaning? As if... Its already been cleaned by the professionals at Hobbs :) Did it still smell bad? ;)

I decided to get Nathan to do the blue slip so its going to be there till its had an oil change and new tyres put on.

just used Bezerkly Automotive today for my 100k timing belt change and brake fluid change.

done a great job, and done it for a great price.

almost everything else i can do on my car myself......(i can do brake fluid, but it was at the shop so i thought might as well get Stuart to do it.

i recomend him to anyone here south of sydney!

I don't think it matters what the hourly rate is.  If they don't know what they are doing then they will take longer.

That doesnt always stand true. What alot of workshops will do is have a set time for certain jobs. Now if the time given for a job is 3 hours but there is a good mechanic who can do it in 2, the workshop will still charge for 3 hours. At the same time they also shouldnt charge more than the 3 hours set tim.. So even if someone knows what they are doingyou still may get charged the same amount of time. Of course this isnt all workshops so i dont know about the places mentioned in the thread.

:werd: was just gonna say the same thing haha

Have had my car done at Autosport Engineering & UAS before to try and sort a misfire problem but was unsuccessful (Greg @ AE and Ben @ UAS are good blokes tho) - Eric @ BEL ended up sorting it out. Since then all work (read: every single mod lol) and tuning has been entrusted to BEL for both my old car (R32) and my S15.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Sheraaz's R34GTT Build

      By Shizu · Posted

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
