tangomatt Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270121-poll-which-workshop-to-use-for-rb28-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRD-00F Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 all tied up at the moment I voted CRD, they built RH9, GTR700 and a few other sub 9 cars... They know what they're doing, but they're EXPENSIVE!

Little_32 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) 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).

blk180 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Are you going to fit that V-cam you have as well??? If so i would probly go CRD but there are a number of good builders out there.

tangomatt Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 I appreciate all your feedback 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!

R34 Sedan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 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.

UWISSH! Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270121-poll-which-workshop-to-use-for-rb28-build/#findComment-4599087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb_gtr Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 How about Godzilla Motorsports or Willall Racing ?? They also are very experienced with GTR's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270121-poll-which-workshop-to-use-for-rb28-build/#findComment-4599387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangomatt Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 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.

Blitz Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I would highly recommend CRD or Dart Automotive. Both know GTR's backwards and have a great deal of experience when it comes to building a tough stroked RB.

DECIM8 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Dahtone Racing. Perhaps Grim Performance? If I had to choose id pick CRD, more confidence than UAS but dont know either particularly well just friends experences.

tangomatt Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 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!
