Hi all.

Just wondering if there are places (preffereably around Hurstville Sydney),

which are compitent at servicing gtr's and the like? I know your average Midas guy will do the job, but I'm not quite sure if I should leave it up to them. Basically I'm looking fo a service center where they know their stuff and are reasonable ...

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Signed : new 32gtr owner looking towards first service. :lol:

A service is a service,

sure some guys might do it on a GTR every day but most mechanics do the same job. taking to someone that deals in these cars (performance shop) will only overcharge you. a reliable mechanic will do your service for half the price.

the guys at unigue autosports do a great job and they deal in these cars all day.

they might not be the closest being about a 45min drive from were you are but they are good...

SSPI in Kirawee has a good reputation and they are probably 15-20 mins away.

Edit:  They are also near the train line if you need to leave the car :)

They organised my aircon regas after Razor$harp recommended them. Really nice blokes. Haven't had anything mechanical done there but plenty of people on here have.

Just Jap and AutoSport are both Good.

Agreed on both accounts !!

If you do use Just Jap ask "specifically" for Gary to do your service as he is VERY GOOD. I'd let him work on my car and he's 1 of a very small number of people I trust to do that. :) ( F.Y.I. He prepares / builds the Just Jap and Donut King Targa GT-R's so he really knows his way around the imports ).

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
