not GTR specialists by any means but Polmar motors in artarmon are very good. Eli is the owner there and a top guy. my friend also works there part time. they have done some work on my GTR and I was happy.

Advan Performance in Silverwater built my car from the ground up and i will never trust my car with anyone else. Everyone has their preferences on workshops so your best to go and chat to a few of them and go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

Advan Perfromance - 9647 1326 (open Saturdays too)

Taken from other post....

George at DB4s - 0298793322.

27 College St

Gladesville

They have been great to me since I got my car. Did a full service with them when I 1st got the car. (approx 1.5g and about 6hrs of work, including timming belth change and all oils and fluids changed)

Tell George Victor sent ya

Powerplays are good too, but whenever I go there they are always busy, seems like Alistair needs a new mechanic or something, as he seems to be doing all the jobs there.

BD4s yea do lots of skylines and other nissans, they are HKS distributors in australia

The mechanic there (Yoshi) is japanese and knows lots about jap cars.. Nathan is good also.

BD4s charge $88/hr for any fixes... And George is a reasonable guy.

I live near UNSW, and i go there for all my mechnical needs, its car but yea i like em

I'd probably also need some advice in regards to this -  

I need to get installed - cams, gears, injectors, fuel pump, sump baffle kit, maybe a metal head gasket, and the clutch.

Where can I get this done, where it wont cost the world ?

Your engine needs to be removed for the work you have mentioned so its not going to be cheap either way.

Do you have turbos to fit also?

Thanks beer baron, i'll have to take a look at them, might drop in on sat and have a chat with Eli and find out prices..

yeah, speak to Eli, tell him I (Richard) sent you. 9966 9930, better ring first if you are going down on a saturday, not sure if he works weekends :)

MSRB26 makes a good point. over the years I've been to quite a few different shops to have various things done. It really comes down to what you think of the place, and how well you think you are being treated. I've been to:

Japp Sport (Sydney Compliance Centre)

Hills Motorsport

Rice Engineering

G&F

Polmar Motors

Unique Autosports (tuning only)

HITMAN (tuning aswell)

Grey Imports

Top of my list would be Rice Engineering (as a good friend of mine owns that business) and they have done great stuff for me over the years. He also prepares a 911GT3 race car for production sports cars. but their workshop is temporarily closed.

Grey Imports have been excellent and I've taken my GTR there and my Soarer there too.

Polmar motors is run by Eli who is a really nice guy and very, very smart. though they are not skyline specialists by any means.

I was very happy with the tuning work done at UAS and HITMAN but never had any work done at UAS or hitman so I can't really comment on that side of their business.

don't really have anything to ad about the others.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
