Are there any good performance shops in the northern beaches?


Recommended Posts

There is Joviant in brookvale and Envy Imports do some work.

I haven't done any modifications and haven't heard any gossip about the above two.

Do you own the silver R34 that frequents manly? I also see from time to time a yellow R34 on warringah Rd.

How about setting up a homework station somewhere on the northern beaches where you do assignments for free? =)

I've got a compiler I have to modify and get working by friday as well as a speech system to make room reservations over the phone (using a computer operator with voice recognition).

Anyone want to help?

Hey MRK25T,

Ya The silver one is mine:uh-huh: I think Ive seen your car around. I like how you put the R34 mags on. They look good on the car.

We really need a shop here in the northern Beaches!!!:burnout: I have to travel all the way to silverwater to have anything done.

I remember my Uni days .... well most of them anyway. I was mostly at the Uni bar !!

Good luck with the homework dood ! Wish I could help, but I've forgotten all that stuff - I only know about Crank Angle Sensors, TEIN Coil overs, Hybrid Turbos, Wastgates, Blow Off valves, etc (all the stuff they never taught at Unis - Damn)

Joviant are good guys and Brett (the guy who owns the joint) is a cluey character for Skylines. Hell all nissans actually.

As for his car, HOLY SHIT. its a bloody monster. Been for several rides in it a different stages of the rebuild and tune. Has over 450Kw at the wheels with a stupid torque figure.

Went for blast in his.....got back in my 255Kw GTR and it felt like a Golf or something...

Bribe, sell your wife, but get a ride in that car...

Its awesome!

He tuned my GTR and my old GTIR and I've seen and been in heaps of cars he's worked on. First rate work from what I've seen.

I take my car there for servicing.

Sebaz, you overtook me on griffin rd one night a few weeks after I was putting along the south curl curl beachfront. You turned left into Abbott rd at the round about.

I was the slow silver skyline holding you up - didn't notice you until you overtook.

Yeah I remember that.

no worries! yeah I'm around there a bit I guess.

Don't mind me I see a straight and I get blinkers..eh eh :P

Yeah I'm thinkin we'll have to have a Northern beaches catch up at some point.

Cheers,

Sebaz

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say thanks for your replies and help.:)

i think i saw your car once when i had my '33 (white - plates NOZILR). i have a 180sx with the plates JCKASS now, i live in collaroy.

i take my car to hills in castle hill, i'd recommend it to anybody, worth the trek, thats for damn sure!

where is joviant?

Joviant is at a round about in Brookvale.

I think its in the same street as st vincents. Envy imports had their workshop nearly opposite vinnies but have apparently moved since I bought my car.

If your heading south on pittwater rd, turn left just before the bus station (vinnies is on one side of this corner and the bus station is on the other). After turning left go staight until you hit the round about - this is where Joviant is (from memory): on top of the round about.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
