I have a 2000GU TI patrol 4.5l running on petrol/LPG.
It has gas research gas equipment which I want to get tuned on a dyno but wanted to get tappet settings checked prior to the gas tune and am reluctant to take it to Nissan due to dual fuel.
I would be grateful if someone could recommend a repairer to do the tappet set on the Gold Coast or south side of Brisbane please?

Welcome to the forum mate, feel free to ask any questions.

If you don't get any reponse here you should put this question up in It's own section under another category as a lot of people don't read the introductions.

Hey Robmac,

Good to see another gold coaster in the ranks... I have used Elite Automotive http://www.eliteauto.com.au/ for my last couple of vehicles... they are honest reliable, and get shit done right the 1st time... although my last couple of vehicles were more of a performance vehicle... Have a chat with Paul (Honky) or Steve (The Bogan) and see if they are able to help you out. Honky doesn't mind a bit of 4x4 action and has a pretty modded up Jeep, and if you have a look at his other toys (11 Second HSV GTS, 10 Sec FPV F6, even is wife's car is a 400+ rwkw FPV F6) and you will understand that he has a passion for all things with an engine.

Tell him Biscuits sent ya and I reckon he will happily give you 50% off after he has tripled the bill :)

Hope this helps you out

Not quite sure of a good one bud, but a gas mechanic should be able to set the rockers for you. To save messing around. Be carefull tho, I went to a gas place at capellaba for a tune on my diesel gas. They spent a whole day and all they did was resolder a plug wrong before they chucked it on the dyno to produce wat less power than my last dyno. I can't remember the name, but they had a Christian fish sticker on the front window of there office. The gas research people should be able to do it for ya easily.
