Here is a link to a video of the machine at work.

5 Axis Headport Video

It is interesting (for a non industry person) to see the bit being held still while the whole head is rotated. From memory there was a thread about this going back 2 or so years ago but nothing came out of it.

So i haven't seen any local information on who offers this in Australia. However, if the gossip is correct then Trick and Mansweto in Sydney may be the people to speak to about this.

Kostecki engine centre in Perth do cnc porting - unfortunately no programs for jap stuff so I am told.

I got quoted $3,300 for my sr20 head through someone my tuner knows on the eastern states. He mentioned they do the v8 supercar stuff. However, it took months to get the quote by which time I had the head hand ported.

Performance Wholesale has 3 x 5-Axis Deckel Maho CNC machines along with 2 x Newen Epoc Contour Machines for bowl/seat work and also Renishaw Digitizing Machine. Not to mention Flow Bench, Cam Doctor, Digital Valve Spring Tester, Spintron machine etc etc. I'm pretty sure they are booked months in advance for work.

Cheers

    • Not sure what you mean by electronic speedo drive.  Speedo reads fine up to 180 yes.
    • For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.
    • This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   馃槀 馃槀 
    • This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
