Hey dudes,

Been in darwin for a few years now. Finally got myself a skyline 6 months ago. Haven't had many problems with her and am planning on a few more upgrades in about a month. Opinions on who would be best to tune up my car- HI-TECH, JSM or REV IT UP. Any other suggestions for places would be good too.

If anyone is going out cruising this weekend please post where and when, most likely i'll be cruising down to TC and TDZ. See you all down there.......

Welcome Ryu (Hadoken)

Alot of members have certain alliances with certain workshops but, my favourite would be Dave @ Hi Tech Tuning as he as worked on my last 2 Skylines and I've had no problems.

Dr Drift who is a well known tuner will be coming up here soon (check with RBNT for exact dates) to do some tuning at Hi Tech and JSM so, I would recommened you get your car tuned by him once the dates are finalised.

Cheers.

Dave has taken care of all my cars (about 15 of them), all turbo's, all imports. I am running around in an Autech wagon at the moment so technically not a Skyline but pretty close. Dave rebuilt the motor for me and its a sweet thing. Dave gets a big thumbs up from me. For your own peace of mind shop around and see what you can find.

Cheers,

Ken

Thanks everyone for your opinions and thoughts, will look into it a bit more. Have spoken to Dave quite a few times in the past and have confidence that he is switched on when it comes to imports. Am currently sourcing a new turbo, injectors, pump, coilpacks, clutch, apexi pfc and associated hardware. Will be doing most of it myself, with the help of my mates (mostly mechanics). One problem i have at the moment is deciding if i should go new turbo, manifold and external wastegate or get a larger bolt-on turbo with internal wastegate. I know external is better in the long run, but only want to spend about $5-6,000 on parts and tuning. Any info or opinons are greatly appreciated. Ryu.

really depends what your goals for the car are. the stock manifolds are pretty good and unless your chassing huge numbers your better of spending money elsewhere. the sliding proformance turbos are an awsome upgrade as well.

best bet would be just do some searching on here this site has to be one of the best resources there is when it comes to anything skyline.

I have been to HTT and theyre fine in my books. a friend of mine recently took his supra to REVITUP and he said they were good as well. Horses for courses man.

Probably be best if you stay away from TDZ. You'll instantly get branded a hoon if you get spotted by the boys in khaki.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
