Hi people, I would like to get some feedback from Brisbane locals on wether it's a good idea to open up a wrecking business in Coopers Plains or anywhere else in Brisbane for that matter.

I will be specialising in Japanese spares (GTR/GTiR/GTS) / Lexus parts (IS200/LS400).

I get told mostly that Brisbane is a very slow city, but I have faith in it, I'm from Sydney but fell in love with Brisbane when I visited it for the 20th time.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Zak

sir31.... as a qualified auto elec and a nice person myself... I will NEVER go to all jap again in my life. They made me want to sell my old car and buy an aussie car. I was very upset with the service and threats they said. I will never promote or even think of mentioning their name to anyone.

They looked at meas a little fish who could not affect their business by taking them to court. So ill make it my purpose in life to bag the crap out of them and tell people not to go there. As i am no longer in this industry they cant touch me for bagging them out to others.

I now drive to Cresta on the southside for all my part needs. As as least these guys treat their customers with respect. Thats all i want, parts and if something goes wrong they will offer another one or an exchange or refund. Not a parts they sell are FIRM sale type system.

The fact that the guy took cash and didnt give me a recipt is dodgy. TAX MAN...... OVER HERE...

Then i take it back that afternoon to the same guy.,... "Ive never seen you before in my life"

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
