Hey,

Just wondering for all those coastie skyliners...do you get your line serviced/tuned by anyone on the coast or do you take it to Syd or Newy?

I have had a couple of bad experiances with people on the coast who claim to be "Performace Specialists" so started takin my 33 to Unique... although pain in the ass when u gotta hang around the middle of no where for hours n hours.

anyone know of any good reliable places on the coast?

Hi,

You should pop into the Central Coast Thread I believe there was a small discussion on this a page or two back.

Adam at TM autosport - great guy! Definately recommend him. Haven't heard of the guy at Mt White so can't comment.

there's an excellent skyline mechanic at mount white of all places....not really the coast but a lot closer than sydney

My mate owns the garage at Mt White, the old NRMA one, which i think he must lease off them, becuase my mate recently saw my car for teh first time and said apparently some guy who works on/owns skylines is using dads garage.

I assume this is the guy your talking about?

BTW- I've herd bad things about TM......... =/ for numerous different sources, never delt with them so jsut be weary.

There used to bea great Mechanic at Kariong Automotives (he's left now as far as i know) he used to work at just jap, or so he told me (and his jumper said) but his wife was Jappanese and used to work in Japan for a few years turning spanners. Might be worth giving them a ring, and see if he's come back, his names "Alan" i'mpretty sure.

Do you have the details and address for the new shop?

Plenty of people on SAU have happily used Nathan's shop in Annandale but he is new to Mt White

Can i have the details of this guy too please?

My dad is slowly getting sick of working on my cars and I am thinking I might have to start paying for it one of these days :(

Nathan is the best.

Wouldn't trust my car to anyone else.He's done all the servicing etc on my skylines for the last few years. Give him a call. I think he's only working out of Mt. White a few days a week at this stage.

Thanks

Adam

Can't really recommend anyone else because I haven't been there to experience their work for myself, but I bought my car from Alan and can vouch for his honesty. The car I bought off him is a Stagea, and he did the manual conversion on it himself. He did an excellent job with the conversion, and when I went to look at the car he went over it with a fine-toothed comb for me and had nothing to hide.

He did indeed live in Japan for a while, and did a few similar Stagea auto-to-manual conversions while he was living there, one with an RB26 too...

Nice guy, I'd recommend him, assuming he's still there.

has anyone been to scott at gosford performace exhaust & intercooling? or vince at allpro?

if so what are your experiances?

Haven't been to either of those, but I have been to Central Coast Turbos - located opposite Nissan in Gosford. Really honest and straight forward guys. Number is 4324 4033.

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
