I had a manual te magna before the skyline and used these guys, they knew there stuff but i had a feeling i was paying way to much as i knew bugger all back then. They charged me over $2000 for a stock clutch replacement plus clutch hydrolics. Looking back i was definetly ripped off.

What car do you have, if its a mitsubishi then they are very knowledgable on mods and stuff.

However they (Dave) will rip you off if he gets a chance.

They are very good just be vary is all, i was a member of the aussiemagna club and i heard of other members been sold second hand stuff and paying and being told the goods were new regulary.

I hope my comments are in the rules i am assuming they are ok as RPW have nothing to do with skylineaustralia. Apologies otherwise

hmmm ..just be careful.

check out www.ozvr4.com

They are regulars on there and can talk up some bull ca ca

Thanks for your input, I have a 1978 Datsun Skyline that has a crate NISMO motor , L28 bored to 3.0L with triple 45mm webers and a 1/2 rally cam. Japanese intake manifold and jap extractors which may also be NISMO items. I'm just looking to get my triple webers tuned ,so there won't be many parts supplied, only labour and dyno time. Thanks Rick.

Take it some where else, dont let them touch anything other then mitsi / hyundai / crysler

There are heaps more knowledgable, realiable cheaper workshops for nissans then them. Try the consolidated workshop thread heaps to choose from. I highly recommend hyperdrive out of all those

Thanks everyone for your remarks, sorry to hear people have had bad experiences. I've been there done that too. Had a guy in Kalgoorlie(when I lived there) charge me over $500 for weber tune and they were still CRAP, was I pissed. Anyway luck has it I've tracked down a guy called Daryll who once owned Automotive Tuning Centre in Welshpool. He used to service this car when it did sprints at Wanneroo and once a year I'd bring it to Perth for him to service it. He's retired but has kept all is equipment and is going to look at them next week. Yahoo, at least i know what I can expect. Nothing worse than going to pick up your car, they hand you the bill not looking for your facial expressions, inside your saying "what the f..."and you drive away feeling RIPPED OFF no wonder ya get busted for hoon driving 2 minutes later. Sorry officer, I was just venting my blow off valve before i exploded. Enough said I think.

Lookout for my old skool dato once Woopass Wed starts up again as i intend to take it quite regularly.

Just got to apply some decent paint.Chow.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
