when i first bought my car i was a complete n00b.. so i sent my car to advan. he surely did fix my misfiring problem.. and i surely did pay through the ass.

that goes with most reputable companies though. theyve built the name so you pay for it. advan get the thumbs up though.

Yep Advan are excellent for all skylines and so are CRD but be prepaired to fork out the $$$ you pay for the name...

Like most reputable tuning shops and brand name manufacturers you pay for quality......Not the name as stated above.

I recently spoke to Peter about doing a full rebuild of my RB26 and he was a nice bloke to deal with...

Advan are quite known for modifying Skylines and seemed to be the one stop shop for all things skyline related hence why I have chosen them to be on my short list.

The other workshop is Gavin Woods AutoTech who have always been highly recommened on SAU so, the choices are split between this two workshops.

I just got back from Croydon Racing after picking up a FMIC kit and talk about a workshop! These guys are honestly in the high end of the automotive game... they had about 10 GTR's... 6 GTST's... 5 200sx's and a monster 500rw/kw (700rw/hp) XR6 Turbo ute all being worked on!

Lance and Theo were very genuine guys and treated me as if i was a friend rather then just anyone off the street... Highly recommend their service and their work is by far already proven...

Cheers

You're split between a workshop in NSW, and a workshop in QLD??? :laugh:

Has anyone here used Advan Performance in Sydney before as I have heard they are the experts when it comes to GTR's??

I am looking at modifying my GTR to around my target of 400kw at all four.

If you dont want to express your feelings here then you could pm me your thoughts..

Cheers.

For such a well known workshop that are experts in modifying GTR's can you tell me 3 current examples they've done that excel at there chosen motorsport ie drags or track

Im not saying they don't exsist but for the life of me can't think of any but Im only into drag

When i went to get my kit.They had the RH9 R34 on the dyno.From memory and at the time pumped out a little under 900hp.They also had a GTST from india getting the full treatment including a $90,000 motor!

But was being built purely for drag.

Yea Theo at CRD was telling me about them...

$90,000 Engine

$20,000 ECU settup

$15,000 Break & Suspension

$45,000 Gear Box

I just couldn't believe the prices he was telling me... one car owed $300,000 and the other $250,000 just for performance mods...

The car made 1450HP at the flywheel

Damn impressive...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
