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:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
