Hi guys,
Recently moved to brisbane and was wondering if anyone knew of a good mechanic and or exhaust shop on the northside of brisbane. Will need to get an exhaust welded back together.
GT Autogarage I use for meachanical work. They seem ok so far. They have had a lot of nice cars come out of their shop. They are at Wilston/Newmarket
Exhaust place I'm hoping I've found a good one, as Wed they are cutting and modifying my Veilside to make it fit Rob Bliss... I shall post back on how it goes.

hopefully not too big a deal. I think you'll find that it is more likely to be the dodgy 2nd cat that is the main culprit. These stupid things almost never sit right and the RAWS don't give a shit!
Spot on Chris the OZ made cats and pipes are ratshit but in saying this have seen so many cars get thru still with the jap cat on pass compliance and pits inspection.
Still sad day when a VS needs hacking _________________

Mine took a bit of playing around with and I ended up buying a couple of new rubber hangers etc and undoing and re-bolting the joins etc. If it is the cat, please make them fix that and not hack the Veilside..........please?!!!?!?!?!
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but the comment above brought tears to my eyes!

It never sat too low. It sat too high hitting the under belly of the car in several spots I wish it had sat low least I could have driven the car
I think possibly the apexi supra down pipe &front pipe was the culprit. They have altered this slightly.
then altered the hangers on the VS and bent the piping a little (I don't think they had to cut it after all ) will find out later today

Yes yes that way No cutting VS survives !!!!!! There you trying to fit Supra parts to Aristo there's the main issue _________________

Sorry to hijack your thread, but just a quick update.
VS is on fits perfectly.
They slightly altered the front pipe, welded my highflow cat into the VS Y pipe, Cut the rear muff hangers and re welded them on, giving it a far far better fit in the rear end...Added stronger rubber mounts near the rear suspension arms to stock any upward rocking knocking. Over all a much more solid fitting of the huge rear muffs..

Very happy with their work "Rob Bliss Exhuast"
Now to polish up the Kakimoto N1 ready for sale..
Wooohooo !!!!! Im happy they've thought it thru in the end Luke All we need is pics of said exhaust and the sexiness involved. Did they look after you price wise in the end with all the labour intensive work involved ? _________________

I'm pleased with the price yes $200 (I had work done on the car by them a few days prior, so not sure if they gave it to me a bit cheaper then it would normaly be)
that was to
Take off stock downpipe - custom front pipe (cut high flow cat out of this)
Install apexi downpipe + Modify the apexi front pipe (spray a coating on the front pipe-cat)
Weld cat into VS Y pipe
Alter VS hangers + fiddle to get it to fit superb
Id say give them a bell and ask for a price. Aaron's the chap I delt with.
