have any of you guys actually had rb rebuilds at boost worx by sean?

busky - where are they located?

I know of a 'few' people who own some nice cars in there and very decent job by Shuan at boostworx. These cars are a little more than 'rebuilds', but quality and service is good :wave:

I'd say Shaun/Boostworx as well - as far as I know Nisspeed does the machining, not sure about assembly

Tilbrooks use Rhemac for machining, not sure about assembly.

Never heard of anyone using Willall

Not sure of anyone with RB24 experience either, has anyone else heard of one being machined up in SA?

I've seen Pete's work on RB engine. If and when my RB stuff up I will send it down to them. Great bunch of people with vast amount of knowledge and experience who stand up for their work/word.

defamation tsk tsk
Defamation law and free speech

The law of defamation is supposed to protect people's reputations from unfair attack. In practice its main effect is to hinder free speech and protect powerful people from scrutiny.

The basic idea of defamation law is simple. It is an attempt to balance the private right to protect one's reputation with the public right to freedom of speech. Defamation law allows people to sue those who say or publish false and malicious comments.

before whinging about defamation look @ what it is i never once said anything about tills so i didnt say anything that wasnt true

i will say he was very willing to have a look and help but... didnt end up helping :D /end of storey

I was impressed when I visited Rhemac Motors. Definitely give them a call I say...

I remember a while back (a good 2-3years) Mark I think his name is (owner of tilbrooks) said they get Rhemac motors do their motors.

EDIT: Chris32 beat me to it. :D

John Moyle Engineering just off main nth rd.

they have all the machinery, and experience to build motors on site and within 2 weeks.

why take it to a dyno place and pay them a commision to get someone else to build your engine.

it dosent make sense to me!

The engine builder at John Moyle has been building speeedway and drag engines for 25 years.

and definately knows his stuff..

They did a great job of my rb25 and kept in touch with me thru out the build process.

They did all the machining on site except getting the crank ballanced. (Chris Milton)

they installed my new JUN crank collar, ACL forged pistons, Eagle H beam rods,

ARP main, big end, and head studs and then assembled the motor, all at a very good

price.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
