Wow... that much difference... i know where i'll be going when it comes up then. Does Boostworx do other things as well? Like boost gauge, controller, exhaust. Like a one stop shop?

Yeh mate Shaun and Troy do the lot! I'm closeish to them so its good, BUT even with those sorta savings its worth booking in early with Boostworx AND make the drive from the North!

the guys at tilbrook are fk witz it was 400 for a dyno tune and i got them to make a bracket for my pod and take out some hoses and he said around 450 for it all done, so i went along with it wen i went to pick up my car he said 720! i was liek wtf? then i look at the receipt and they charged me like 50bucks for taking off my front bar 25 bucks to make a bracket when it cost liek 5 bucks to do and all this other lil shit added up piss mee off

I don't think it matters where you go, you should always double check with them the final price and make them agree to that so they don't add on any extras. Get them to give you a definite final price not a ballpark figure or estimate. Unless of course you've got deep pockets and are rolling in it, not here though :O

Tilbrooks are well known for upping the figure upon finishing the job, so a firm price isnt a price to them.

i really don't understand y u bother posting on sau. You asked for recommendations and everyone told u what they thought, so you said ok i'll go to boostworx. you then still go to the place everyone told u not to and get burnt, no sympathy here!

then in the intercooler thread you said um i have no money so i'll get a cheaper just jap cooler then u get back on that night saying you'd just bought an $1100 blitz cooler, mmmmmmmmmmmm???????????

y am i starting to think you're a 13 year old kid with nothing better to do?

tool!

What. A. Tool. please sell your R34 to someone that will take care of it properly and take it to the right places. Furthermore, I concur with rbman. Why ask us where should you go when all your gonna do is waste our time by giving you good advice and places to go to.

Boostworx all the way, you have learnt.

What i meant was that something like a dyno should be at a set price, y should you be paying anymore for something that really is rather simple. Will agree with you about tilbrooks though, definitely not disagreeing with you there!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
