Also stating your location might help. Brisbane is kind of large.

Edit: Ok so you live in the Annerley area. I would have to say Chapman and Chapman. Yes they do good work.

The club is sponcered by various workshops which do excellent work:

Mercury Motorsport (Wilston)

Cosmos Mechanical (Ipswitch)

Automotive Technique (Labradore)

Tuff Toys (Cooparoo)

All of which you will gain discounts on if you are a club member :)

LiAm, it depends where you live and if you find the workshop and staff to be reliable. I take my baby to Allstar Tuning at Zillmere. Richard and Daniel are good people and have never let me down. Good advice is the best PR a workshop can offer and Richard knows his stuff. :wassup:

I go to my back yard....

Most trust worthy place round....

No offence to the workshops suggested, but i have been burnt badllyh with my last car at the 2 shops i took it too.... Non of the sponcer shops were involved. But i will be visiting Mercury in the near future as their close and their a sponcer. I was impressed with the workshop at the BBQ. A motorsport shop with Motul oils in the 20 litre drums. Now thats quality, also their dyno was very nice and the guys were frendlly. So i will be using them to tune the PFC as you need a dyno and i may as well use them. (Because their a sponcer mainlly, support your sponcers)

Yeah I towed my car back from the track with some unknown problem on Sunday afternoon, by monday afternoon they had installed a new fuel pump and dyno tuned my SAFC for a great price and yeah Trent is a really nice bloke, :).

Also have been to Automotive Technique and they are great too, went in to get my free service (as won in the charity auction) and they did that and trouble shooted a couple of things I was interested in. Also they are right next door to Brake Distributers of Australia, (another club sponcer) and they are great too, have several race cars setup for various forms of motorsport and was more than happy to have a chat and answer all the n00b questions I had.

yeh well my head in my RB20det is bent, due to my radiator it kept over heating !! now my head is bent so it needs to be pull out and machined !!  

i got a qoute from ADD racing in kendron for aroun 1500 i think...

ADD...stay away from the boiler makers...

I too have heard a few dodgy things about ADD, like they are being sued by someone. I have had heaps of work done at Mercury Motorsport and I will continue to get all my work done there. The guys are great they know their stuff and they don't try and sell you bits you don't need. My 0.02 cents go to Mercury.

Cheers

any on the southside of Brisbane. Slacks creek areaish?

Yeah dude.

Go to DJ Sivyer Mechanical, hes just off compton road, in Timms Court, #10. PH# 3290 2967.

Some weeks he can be quite busy, so its best to ring and see when you can book it in. But lets just say he saved me a lot of money as I went to him not another work shop that said my water pump was leaking (this was last August, its still not leaking, and even after a good pressure test it never leaked, IE, my water pump was not leaking and did not need changning). Hes also extreamly thorough (sp) checks everything twice. (I've seen some other mechanics, they pull the car apart, and dont put it back, and or dont double check stuff).

Hes honist, and knows skylines and RBs pretty darn good. I can not recomend him highly enough.

Sorry for the ramble, but yeah, he really is quite good.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
