I drop mine off, and pick it up 3-4 days later when i get called :)

A good tune takes time. It does not happen in 1-2 hours "while you wait" IMO.

Although that does depend on the level of modification to the car to an extent also.

Bingo! Dropped my car off for a major service,install of a few things and tune.Dropped the car off,5 days later it was ready.Very solid tune and worth the wait.When you start spending big dollars on mods i wouldnt rush your tuner.

Most workshops are not very happy about people they do not know just wandering aimlessly around. Too easy to slip some small and very expensive piece of equipment into the pocket. Another reason is safety and legal liability. They could be sued for anything from hearing loss to being hit between the eyes with an escaped con rod. A further reason might be that they just want to get on with the job rather than being constantly distracted by mindless chatter. They are not there for fun, but to run a profitable business.

The best workshops might have a lounge and viewing area, where you can watch your car being tuned through sound proof double glass. They might also provide a coffee machine, newspapers, car, and girly magazines if the wait is a long one.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
