I'm probably reinventing the wheel, but I'm new in melbourne, living in ivanhoe.

Can someone puhleeeeese point me in the direction of a good knowledgable mechanic who is good with gtr32's. i'm finding a LOT of cowboys out there who leave me with a very strong feeling that they don't know what they doing.

The car needs new O2 sensors fitted, new rear upper camber arms & rear upper bushes fitted & if my budget extends to it, a new set of turbos fitted. I've got all the parts needed, including the turbos, all I need is someone to fit them....

Many thanks in advance guys... (& gals)

Hi rickhead welcome to Melbourne! :rolleyes:

The guys are correct; this has been discussed many times before. But even if you used the search button I don't think you will get much regarding how bad a workshop is. I think due forum rules and most importantly due to legal reasons people are not allowed to post bad comments or experiences they have had.

Regardless, I don't think people will disagree with me when I say; Take your car to Racepace. I don't know every workshop in Melbourne but I think you should save yourself from headaches and take it to Ben.

Hope this helps you in some way!

PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone, been a great help. Talking to some of the workshops has confirmed my suspicions about the guys I was originally thinking of dealing with. Should I become a vic member, would this entitle me to any discounts etc from workshops. ???

hehe u cant ask a workshop about there opinion on another workshop :)

well you can... but its going to be extremely biased obviously..........

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
