Hi,

As poll title says, I am contemplating using either one of these workshops (CRD or UAS) for a RB28 build. I have contacted both via email and they both sound confident in being able to provide expertise and high quality workmanship on the engine build and tuning. I do not know which one to choose!

Any additional comments, please pm me.

Thanks

Why dont you try other places too.

Like Shift Performance (lansvale) or InCar Performance (wetherill Park)??

I took my old 180 to both places and they both are good. Shift is pricy, but they work on alot of skylines. I personaly would deff pick InCar over shift any day!

Or

why dont you try Birrong Automotive? They seem like they know what their doing. After all didn't they buid that tubed 33??

Don't quote me on this but wasnt it the quikest 33 in nsw (or was it Aus, i cant remember).

I appreciate all your feedback :blush:

I am after a workshop who will deliver expert engine building, reliable and trustworthy service and have the technical know how to integrate V Cam in the tuning to maximise what its worth. I believe this may be one of the first V Cam install in Australia from scratch. I understand there are a few GTRs lurking around with V Cam already fitted from Japan when car was imported. I may be wrong. Again any feedback will be much appreciated as I do not know anyone with who has dealt with either Jim from CRd or Joh from UAs directly.

I have contacted CRD and UAS and they both sound confident that they will get the job done the right way first time round. Again I do not know who to entrust my pride and joy with and also to trust enough to part hard earned cash with.

Cheers guys.

Please HELP!

I've just spent 10K having CRD mod my R34 GTT.

They were all extremely helpfull, knew their stuff, and had no problem answering all my questions over the phone (some of of them probably stupid ones) both before and after the job was completed.

Jim did an excellent job of tuning the power FC, and I would not hesitate to use them again.

id go for crd, u just have to look at the cars that come out of that place to know they are serious about what they do, they are ment to be the GTR experts, plus they have a 4wd dyno which helps more and they dont stuff around, they get in and get the job done.

ive used them a couple of times now n i couldnt be happier with the service from them, even tho its n hour n abit drive to get there, i wouldnt go anywhere else now

Thank you for your input. I am researching in a few more engine builders as well - Red R Racing; Lewis engine builders in SA; Specialty engines which built the Hi Octane R32 GTR etc.

Appreciate all your help.

Cheers

Thank you to all those who have contributed to this thread. I have gained a lot of insight in the GTR tuning scene in all states after contacting and speaking to more than half a dozen workshops. I have selected the one who is going to carry out my RB28 build. I will keep everyone posted as to the progress.

A big thanks again!

Matt

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      R34 Plug Identification

      By Duncan · Posted

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
