Suspension/handling Specialists....


Recommended Posts

Hi..i'm wondering if anyone can recommend workshops and mechanics who know their stuff on fitting and setting suspension and handling setups, i.e coilovers, camber,castor, toe fitting and settings, for skylines?

Anywhere within about 30kms of brisbane.

Any info will be greatly appreciated~

Thanx~~

i won't be using mercury again for any of my work, but each to their own. However, if you do use them, get someone independant to check after they're finished

I use Shaun at Goodyear Strathpine... great guy and pretty switched on, does top work etc.. he races an Evo in some form of rally so he know a bit about what he's talking about :D They're also a Fulcrum Queensland dealer.

Thanx people fer all the info...fulcrum? do they do tests on used coilovers? im basically getting a set of used coilovers and wanna run a test on their usability, and also if there is any leakage and other problems before buying and installing them at the same time. Will these tests be expensive if they are available?

Murcury are not suspension specalists, they get all their alligment / set up work done down the road at fulcurm, they are quite happy to fit suspension parts though. In my opinion it would be better just to go to fulcurm in the first place.

Accurate suspension. Timms court :)

They seem to do good work, just I think you need to say I want this. Not ask them what you need.

Other than that try and track down Scotty, I think hes over redlands way now.

Actually they go to quickfit on enoggera road (the one next to the mobil).

Or how about www.shockreco.com.au. They can rebuild anything. I had my standard struts rebuilt 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with their work.

Not since Scotty left, I wouldnt go back there.

Not knocking their work, but hold on to that reciept, and check those shocks on the 29th day after the work was compleated. Rebuilt coilovers apparently only have a 30day warrenty.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
