Skyline Mechanic in Brisbane/Gold Coast


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...
I only just bought my car two weeks ago and was recommended to AutoTech (Gavin Wood) - this is at the fabuloue Gold Coast (?) where I live. Took my car there the other day - very impressed. This guy is a Skyline specialist, and I understand a lot of Skyline owners on the Caost go to him.

gavin does not do the work we do

Brisbane Tuning and Turbo at Woolangabba..

Was the second turbo specialist shop in Brisbane..

Has a dyno, ask for John and tell him Scott McAndrew told him t go..

Great people, good prices, very proffesional and friendly..

3393 1588

what ever you guys do do not take your car to brisbane turbo and tune at w/gabba. they are friendly untill something goes wrong. they ****ed my car up while fitting mods, i have had alot of gtrs and supras so take my advice. these guys learn at customers expense. they were even disputing eachother while tuning the car. take your cars to someone that knows them inside out, not money hungry idiots.

Well well well if it isnt sean who tried to f*** us over for a engine rebuild saying that we stuffed something and then comes and complains when it was none of our wrong doing. yes we did have problems when working on his car installing an aftermarket part we broke one so what ... he was not charged for our error ... why should he be? as for us arguing when tuning it i have no idea what planet you are on mate. 70% of our work is jap imports and majority skylines. great ur pissed off that we didnt wanna pay for a rebuild that was none of our wrong doing dont take it out on us that we dont work with con artists. when the car left our shop we did a compression test and it was perfect i suggest that no1 does work 4 the pearl white widebody GTR of seans because as always the second something goes wrong hes is going to try lay the blame on someone else not accept that him flogging his car is the reason it blew up.

feel free to contact us for any of your performance or general mechanical needs we have over 20 years experience and as far as we are concerned our customers leave happy.

thanks for reading

ps. Thanx for bringing this to our attention Pete ! :devil:

(one of our many very happy 33 GTR customers)

i recently posted an angry messege about brisbane turbo and tune. i have spoken to john about the matter and we have sorted it out. i further state that i have no bad recommendation about them and the information i had before was incorrect. so to john and staff i apologise. keep up the good work.

My car is tunned by subzero.

It has a power fc.

They are one of the few places that have laptop software for a POWER FC

My tune is making good power and is good on fuel!

Anyways if you want a place that knows what they are doing on skylines go to subzero, especially for performance!

If you had of driven around the corner (literally), you would have found gavin wood who is another place with the laptop software (FYI, its called FC Data Logit... http://www.fc-datalogit.co.nz) who tunes an orright tune :rolleyes:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
