gabby at proform in moxon rd punchbowl (0297082920), builds plenty of rb engines.

he might build alot but they arnt very good, bought n engine off sum1 who had it built by this mob. was a brand spanking new engine, hadnt been started. croydon were horrified at what they saw wen they took the sump off to put my new extended sump on. Long story short, the whole engine needed to re done

I just had an rb30/25 built at Hills Motorsport in Castle Hill, I am very happy with the price and result.

Thread is over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Santa-t300855.html

Really don't want to start a shit fight. But I'd be against taking your car there. (The OP); If you want to know why then just PM me.

well 2 builders i just rang want $10,000+ on just motor

Glenn, give Dart Automotive a call and speak with Jim.

Dart is responsible for a large number of big horsepower GTR's on SAU including my previous R33 and I highly recommend them.

out of all of the people i've dealt with over the last week due to my engine built, DART and Unigroup have been the most realistic and knowledgeable so far.

Duncan and I have both had engine rebuilds done with hills motor-sport, Duncan more then myself - mine is still going 20k+ strong, never missed a beat - there are plenty of people who think they know what they are talking about with hills motor-sport but there is ALWAYS 2 sides to a story so if you want the opinion of a constant happy customer of hills instead of some once of disgruntled opinion talk to Duncan or myself. Everyone has there own opinion, which they are of cause in titled to, but there are plenty of people on here that just jump on the band wagon without any 1st hand experience.

so 1+ for hills motor-sport, been dealing with them for 2years+ with my R34 and have always been looked after price and quality wise. I'm starting to get sick of people give this shop shit because of one bad experience and then one friend who had a bad experience. what about all the good experiences? every shop has there disgruntled customer, there is a reason why that place is full of cars, they must be doing something right.

It comes down to this.

Take your car to where people have complained about service, even taking them to court.

Take your car to where you've heard nothing but compliments, not a single bad thing... and reasonable price etc.

I know where I'd take mine. Not even pointing fingers at any workshop in particular, I try and follow this rule with product I buy tbh...

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
