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...

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
