i just wanted to no how is good really good

Depends on your budget - ring around and see which tuner fits your needs.

Some are cheaper, some are more expensive - and often price can be reflective of the tune - NOT always however (before people get too crazy).

I've had Dr.Drift tune my car years ago when he first started out, no issue at all.

Racepace now does all my work being i have a RB26 and well, they go hand in hand like many other gtr/rb26 owners

Racepace is generally regarded as the best in Victoria for RBs.... just because that's what they specialise in, especially GTRs. Like Techsport for Evos.

When day in day out, all you're dealing with is RBs - you will have more connections, access to parts, and above all experience than anyone else. Just a pity they are in Bayswater though :D

anyone take there car to chasers? do people think there generally good?

The big advantage is that they are virtually in the middle of the City, 2 mins drive from the CBD. That was the main reason I got my GTR tuned there with bigger turbos, injectors etc. They also have an AWD dyno, and a decent tuner (Paul) of Motec fame. Their prices are also very reasonable. I am quite happy with my tune.

Keep in mind though that they tune everything, so not exactly a Skyline specialist. A lot of skyline parts need to be ordered as they can't possible keep everything for all the cars they tune in stock, so you will spend time waiting around for the parts to arrive. eg., took 3 months to get the parts I need... still waiting on some. And as with most workshops - overestimate how much time they will take to tune your car. At least double the amount of time they tell you.

Basically, comparing Chasers and Racepace... think of it like you're a Japanese Samurai who needs a sword. You can go to downtown Kyoto to King of Swords or whatever its called, and get a serviceable katana. But they also sell butcher's cleavers and cooking knives. If you have the ryo to spend and the time to walk, take a trip into the mountains to the sword guru. He does not want to be widely known, he doesn't have flyers in the middle of town, and he lives in a very remote and dangerous place. His location and knowledge of the magic of the swords he forges - legends, national treasures even, are only passed through the hushed whispers of the faithful. He uses mystical techniques that no-one else knows, and all the swords he makes are the sharpest in the business.

yeah righteo :) , wasn't really necessary to write a full page of mumble jumble about a swordsman but anyway,

if i was in melb, i'd go to Trent @ status tuning, love the work that his done, esp that 1000+hp GTT.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
