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:

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
