Another plug for scott at insight...top fella

CRD too.

Adam at JEM

and Yavus at Unigroup.

wouldn't take it to anywhere that has a hill in its name or address.

100% agree with Yavus, cannot fault him on anything. I spoke to him on the phone inquiring about work to be done, he gave me a price and a time frame, which did not budge once the car was dropped off. He is an absolute pleasure to deal with and know's his sh!t

I've also been to Bel a couple of time recently and exactly as above, cannot fault the guys.

Both places excellent service and i wasn't spending big bucks either. Run of the mill stuff.

The best bet is to find somewhere you are again comfortable in taking your car to, and establish a relationship with that workshop. That way when you have future work done there, you'll have an idea of what to expect from them and they'll know what your aims are for your car.

The trouble is with this advice is every single new skyline owner has to start right at the beginning

and potentially invest time "establishing a relationship" with several workshops - that are known by

many to be second rate - before discovering that their "aims for your car" are to soak you. It can

be exceedingly expensive in time and money to do it this way.

I'd rather read a bunch of reasonably fresh experiences both good and bad then make up my mind

where to start with this magic relationship building stuff.

Are we even allowed to post a poll? one that lists 20 workshops and asks for votes on which have

provided great service and fault-free work?

Im getting quotes for some work for mine and the difference in prices is amasing, anywhere from $9,000ish to $15,000ish for basically the same job.

This sounds interesting, what exactly are you planning on getting done?

lol story of our lives, misleading quotes lol

Not surprising though. I was quoted from $350-$1200 for my oil cooler instal. The $1200 was a basic minimal quote, and my $350 quote included making custom brackets and everything needed, including a top up of Royal Purple!. Hence why i am very happy with Bel Garage!

I'm getting forged internals, reco head, gearbox reco, surge tank and other assorted snot that goes with it so i can rev it to 8k and wind up the boost to around 20psi.

My goal is 11tykwatw, LOL

So far it either going to be autosports or maytech, they both quoted around the same.

No point in having all the bolt-ons without the strength in the bottom end and the fuel system to support it.

Just need someone who can tune my bloody Link ecu, I know of 1 place for certain and anouther one said he hasnt got the soft ware but he thinks he should be fine. :)

Yavuz @ Unigroup.... # 1 in my books!

When i purchased my Silvia off the previous owner, he had been taking it to a popular garage to get a tuning issue sorted.... this 'garage' were unable to diagnose it and resided to it is just a gremlin in the PFC.....

Well first visit to Yavuz, he spent the time and found the issue!! Also found an extra 20+rwkw with a correct tune.....

My car is currently sitting in his garage and I wouldn't want it anywhere else.... well worth the money!

My 2c

+1 for Bel Garage. Only went there once to get 100,000k service done (timing belt, water pump, idler tensioner, thermostat, flush radiator). I bought all the parts, and they did it all for $500 in 1 day.

Well said!!

this is why I have their link in my sig :banana:

Yavuz @ Unigroup FTW

His customer service isn't always the quickest out there but the work that comes outta that workshop is worth the wait for.

Very trustworthy and they've been around quite a while now.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
