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

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
