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.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
