Im looking for workshops that have an emphasis on performance/import cars, so who better to ask than fellow skyline owners?

The reason being id like to get a job/career in this industry, as its one of my main passions, problem being, i don't know of many places that do this kind of work,and i only know them by name (croydon racing etc). So was wondering as you have already taken the time to open this thread could you spare 30 secs to post any places you know of that do work on cars like ours? I know this question gets asked alot, im not asking you to find me a job, just any suggestions of workshops that fit the description, and ill do the fun part of rocking up and asking for an apprenticeship :P

I figure once i get a list of acouple i can ask them of similar places/if they know anyone who might be interested. I live in cranebrook at the moment, and i don't mind travelling into the city for the right sort of job.

thanks.

I know some people on here take their cars to Unigroup, which is in Girraween. http://www.unigroup.com.au/Home.html -- The owners name is Yavuz. I've heard nothing but good things so far about this workshop.

Next year when I get some work done I'll most likely go there.

I would steer clear of some names in that list, I've seen terrible tuning performed by some of those names. I had to retune a mate's ET Turbo Pulsar when he brought it to one group in that list. His timing was all over the place and those morons has around 25 degrees adv on full load, no wonder his car was pinging off its tits.

But definately Unigroup, they're awesome!

+1 some of the names on Moonus list are suspect. You couldnt go wrong with Unigroup or Croydon Racing.

only places i would go are:

MRC performance

Unigroup Engineering

had too many bad experiences with a few of the other mentioned workshops.

Both Yavuz (unigroup) and Mark (MRC) spend the time and make sure everything is spot on. they wont try and get the big numbers but place more emphasis on what the car is used for and driveability and both are very thorough

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
