depends on the money you want to spend really... places like ICE performace are good but they are starting to get expensive, Hypertech aswell... MSC is a good bet too

MSC Performance & Dyno Tuning

9469 5282, 43 Radford RD Reservoir

Race Pace is very good also, GTR's are the speciality there but call up and ask some questions, im sure they can help too

My pick, Racepace. No-one else in Vic has the knowledge/quality of Ben and the crew.

Thats assuming you are talking about RB motors :)

i have a quote from guys in tas to build one for 3k with forgies, so i will have to see wat quotes here a like i have sent a few emails way for rough quotes so i will wait and see.

Wat do u think it is going to cost for a rb20 with forgies and some other parts like good bearings, seals/gaskits, rings , maybe rods. Guess it all depends on pro advice on how far to go.

Just remember this little piece of advice when trying to save "a couple of bucks" building a motor

fast + cheap = not good

good + cheap = not fast

good + fast = not cheap

My pick would be P+P Performance in Wagga Wagga. No one in Victoria compares to them, has won as many accolades around the country or has built motors anything like they do.

building an engine isnt cheap mate, my brothers sr20 set him back heaps, just pistons rings bearing and rods cost around 3,500 - 4000 then machining cost 3000 (including headwork and stuff)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
