hi all, im currently rebuilding my spare engine at my garage.

ATM, looking for a good & cheap :) shop in canberra to:

- shot peened my gtr rods & freshen up the rod stud bores.

- decked bottom end surface (before putting head gasket)

- freshen up the bore before putting new studs.

- balanced my crankshaft

and how much $$ im going to spend each?

i'm not looking for a cryogenic cranks etc, just to do basic rebuild stuff.

and lastly, does anyone have any prev exp for tuning pfc in canberra? i know lots of famous one in sydney but i wont be able to drive it to sydney.

thanks.

Oh he wants the work done.....I thought he had it done and wanted a rebuild. Present and past tense ing vs ed, so yeah pro engines for any machining etc

Plus it still stands for pfc anyway.

No PM's from me, It's a waste of breath and as correctly pointed out each persons experience is different.

Slaughter - Ditto mate, I have experienced the same pain on a rebuild. Take solace in my sig.

I've been burnt by Autotech. >.< Shame because Ed and the others there are great guys.

Plus, I don't think they are cheap.

For mechanical I'll be taking mine to TopSpec in Hume.

I haven't had anything 'big' done with him, but he's been great for the things I have had done there and all for a good price.

Also, girlfriends dad takes all his business cars there and recommends him.

Meh, every shop has bad feedback. I wont name them but I have had work done at a particular shop and was totally shocked at the price tag but they did do good work. Some times you luck out some times you don't

just got quote from proengines.

Just sharing for reference on machining cost for RB25det:

shot peen conrod $120

close & grind conrod $132

mill 6 cyl block - trade $100

machine hone 6 cyl $100

machine + fit crank collar $300

balance 6 cyl $225

check size & polish 6 cyl crank - trade $80

chemical clean 6 cyl $135

can upload the pdf if u want.

some questions:

what is mill 6 cyl block - trade? is it shut & grind new main stud hole?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
