just thought id see where everyone takes their car, VL or not and find out where to go and where not to go. then compile a list of all the recomended places for each aspect of a car. eg: engine: autotech, hume transmission: diff: paint/pannel: gloss refinishers, qbn electrics: lee & thomas, philip suspension: inline, qbn rego inspections/ checks: theyre mine, can add aswell.

haven't had anything done for a while... but for the last few electrics jobs ive used elite car sound... the owner scott is a champ.. neva knew someone could be so happy all the time lol and um when i had my car rego'd i used um dmb automotive in ****son... i swear they didn't even look at my car lol but yeh pretty gd hey... everything else i do myself really but i'll put some more up if i think of em...

Yeah my daily went over DMB, had a few issues but it really wasnt a tidy VL. My other VL i chose to take it to Layon Service centre. Heard good things, They passed me no troubles. And it has some work done... I was bout to post a thread in the ACT sect. regarding repair places. I am looking for someone to change my cam\crank seal. I work out in mitchell and there are plenty of VLs kickin out there. Anyone recommend any Shops in mitchell, Bar Jakes, as it really inst a performance VL yet?? I used to panel beat for Jason at Capital Collision, Good guys. Really nice Booth. Cheers Guys

yeah i've been told lanyon is the best place to go for a rwc also, rolla has now failed at both goodyear and jax, complety different things and none related at all from both places lol. so going to lanyon cause as far as i can tell it should pass. just some places are being far to picky. well spose jax and goodyear didnt really like helping someone from bobjane out lol.

Lay off on the he passed me with a spool and a monster tach stuff. The dude will lose his ticket and it makes it farked for all the rest off us.

i'm only taking mine to lanyon for the fact it was suggested to me and going to tyre dealerships when i work at one of there competitors does not seem to be a good idea lol.

Duke57TT: Fair call buddy. sorry Lanyon is good. My VL is roadworthy. I dont think they will pass anything that isn't roadworthy So can anyone recommend anywhere.???????????? Theres a 4WD place in Mitchell. Huddart ct i think. Workshop backs onto Brooks ST. Theres always a heap of VLs getting work done there. Any one know this place or have been there..

I get most of my stuff done which i can't be bothered to do at National Automotive. They have a fair bit of experience with alot of different cars and do everything from servicing to custom whatever you want.

ilk your probably thnking of aboveboard in mitchell they built my mates turbo wags and they have a few tough vl turbos of their own there as well

yea aboveboard built a few of my mates cars chris and danny are good blokes and pretty reasonable

Cheers Guys, I'll try these guys at AboveBoard. I do most of the work myself also, but Harmonic balancers and Crank gears can be shafted without a puller. This is why i dont want some random pulling my car apart. Some1 with a bit of RB30 knowledge would help. Cheers again

do they do it in house or send it away? rough costs? using same wheels

haha was that the hot chick trent? i remember chatting to one that was hot there lol i never managed to offend her but..

yeah she was pretty decent man, but i had been to like 6 shops looking for a banjo bolt and shes like a banjo bolt? n i was like yeah its a bolt with holes in it and shes like I KNOW WHAT A BANJO BOLT IS hahaha. im not sure PM 4dzsuk n he can tell you more. im not sure if they send it away or not but unless your wheels are rooted theyll use the same ones unless you ask them to put new ones in. just ring em up man http://www.carscene.com.au/outlets/c...esel/index.htm (http://www.carscene.com.au/outlets/coomadiesel/index.htm)

thanks mate, i gave em a call, the bloke sounded strange haha but told me what i was exspecting, min of 550 is shaft, housing are all good, but new shaft will cost 120 extra or something, so ill prob take it in tomorrow, Ben at intune has it at the moment so beta go grab it lol cos i really want this thing back on the road!!

where is ben working now? why dont you do it yourself? there is a diy on here the the tech section. if it does need new bits just grab them for them.

from his house mate, yea i prob will give it a go, sept o dont know the specs so dont know the parts i need. and not keen to f**k it up cos its goin on a brand new forged engine so for it to let go would kill me
