Set boost, tuning, kw readings, getting the best out the mod's, and someone who can tune 'Unichip' and look after a car without damaging it (previous place, had bad experience don't want to mention on the forum, don't know if I can trust that place again).

So I'm pretty much looking for a different place to get my car tuned.

I get my car serviced at Skyline Performance. Joe is the guy who owns the place.

So far so good. He's done a few things for me at no charge like fixing my front bar (it had droped on one side and he made new brackets). All in all no complaints. He was by far the cheapest place I found to get my cam belt changed as well.

I haven't had any mods done there yet but his garage is always full of some pretty nice Skylines (and a couple of GTi-Rs & 200SXs etc.).

Depending on when you go I might be keen to do the same.

I haven't had mine looked over since I had it (2 years ago !!), and I wouldn't mind getting the timing, boost etc tuned/looked at, and look for boost leaks.

Damn - we could even make it a dyno day maybe :D

SilverSlyder - I'll drop you a PM about the previous place you've been to.

Cheers

CanberraR33: I'm getting it done at Skyline Performance.

Do all you guys have Unichips too? Shame Autotech doesn't have a 4wd dyno, they had to road tune my car last year. Don't really like the idea of someone else driving my car on 1.4 bar around highways.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
