I have opinions on plenty of things I don't have first hand experience with.

I've never fallen off a motorcycle with no helmet and landed face first onto the asphalt. But I have seen photos of people who have. Does that mean I can't offer an opinion as to whether its going to hurt or not, because I only saw some pictures on the Internet?

If everyone took that attitude of only trusting what you've personally experienced, we'd probably still be living in caves. Sir Isaac Newton (you know, the guy that came up with the theory of gravity and the basic laws of physics) once said, "If I have seen further [than certain other men] it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." He didn't feel the need to prove anything to himself - he took the conclusions of others, decided if they were plausible, and ran with them.

Have you personally compared the strength of titanium against steel with a scientifically rigorous test? If you haven't, would you be unwilling to offer an opinion of which is stronger for the same weight because all you've got is hearsay?

On topic, I've heard good and bad things about both places. Which is true for almost every workshop.

But both places generally have more positive than negative reviews, so in the end its probably going to boil down to whoever charges you less.

the things you speak of are a little easier to prove as there is a physical element. I am sure everyone knows that when half your face is missing due to gravel rash that its going to hurt, it will only be the level of pain that varies lol As for who is a better workshop, that is a personal opinion, and one which can only be made when both sides of the coin have been tried.

I was just wondering who i should get to install my z32, fuel pump, fuel reg, power fc, turbo and injectors and tune - Advan in silverwater or Croydon racing developments. Has anybody had good/bad work from either???

hitman at race solutions in penrith. very good reliable tune and it wont cost you a 1000 dollars. he does all our cars and the race civic. very good at powerfc

i just had installed my z32, 044,sard reg, and greddy ultimate ecu installed by crd. car made 220rkw at 13.5psi on stock turbo. my pfc had a fault in it so i had to use the greddy, but seemes to be doing the job very well. afr is right on 12 right through the run.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
