Hey Has anybody had much to do with MPC in Bayswater?

I was thinking about getting a Service done there as it is close to my work?

Just wanting to get some opinions as to what are they like there do they do a good job etc etc.

Cheers Ben

If you work in Bayswater and own a Skyline and need work done.... it's a no-brainer.

People come from all over Victoria (and some even interstate) for Ben to work his magic. He works almost exclusively on Skylines so knows them inside out. Just give him a call and tee up a time.

Each time I get a service and or work done it is a 2 hour peasant wagon ( tram train )trip each way..... two hours after dropping it off and then two hours to get back out there when it is ready... ( from Port Melbourne )....

Would not even consider taking it any where else but there.

Well MPC is more like race related workshop, they do Australian gt championship cars and as for skylines. They know what they are doing man. Not the cheapest, but is you want your car serviced by the race specialist, I'll take me car down. I know them well coz I make all their lamborghini racecar upgrades parts in carbon. Assure you they are not street entry level.

take ur car to electronic automotive in epping to my r34 gtr there amazing work

Engrish??? :D

The guy is thinking about travelling 50m to get his car serviced, not 50kms.....

I say do a search on the above mentioned workshops and see what people have to say about them.... :(

What's the deal with so many tuning shops being in Bayswater? I think there are like 8 places all within 500 m of each other.

Racepace, Techsport, MPC, Nizpro, A to Z Tuning, RA Chapman, Dynomotive, Advanced Engine Management.

Not to mention the 101 parts/support shops in the neighbourhood. Maybe they designed those few blocks with car tuning in mind, and everyone just congregated there to save money on transport.

If it weren't so friggin far away I would move there. It'd be awesome knowing that whatever car I will ever own in my life, I can be pretty sure one of those guys within walking distance knows how to tune it with parts available next door, and tune it well :D

LOL, was thinking the same thing, most of the guy's know and have learn,t off each other very well, still worth the long walk, the bus, two trains then another walk for me. :)

I only use MPC for my drag Supra. They do almost everything in house.

Tony is one of the best tig welders I've used and can make anything out of any metal. Roll cages, custom mufflers, brake ducts, anything !!!

And dyno tuning Lee Burnley is the safest most reliable tuner I've used. They have a 4WD mainline dyno that I strap my 1000rwkw supra down to and has always got the most safest fastest spooling tunes the car has ever made. Plus they also have everything to make the tune full EPA legal to pass emission tests.

This is the only all in one race shop I trust.

They only employ the best staff one of which is ex v8 supercar engineer who is a true genius.

Give them a shot, you never find a better all in one shop.

Not a fan myself - took a Soarer there to get a flat spot and general lack of power diagnosed - they put it on their dyno and said a dip (not just a plateau) in the graph was normal.

Also, since when did a tune need to be EPA legal? It's the modifications that the EPA/cops dick you on. Emissions tests are just part of the passing process and a stock tune can pass you. You still need to remove the modifications behind all your power.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
