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.

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

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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
