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...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
