ive known a few guys who have had plenty of work done by both boostworx and wilall, and have recommended them strongly.

i havent used either myself, but i was always planning on getting wilall to tune my 200.

I'd seriously be getting Jeff at The Speedlab to tune your 200.

He's hard to get in contact with at times, but he'll tune the car far better than Willalls.

Not Willal? LOL.

Care to explain your reasons at all?

I see a lot of behind the scenes with all these issues so I'd be interested to know :)

I believe he meant he wouldn't recommend the place bolded in the quote, but is recommending Willal.

I know what he means. I wanna know about his experience with Smooth :)

They're always looking to improve customer service, and to be honest, he'd have to be one of the only unhappy people I've seen come out of there.

The work they do is excellent and the prices are far better than most of the competition.

Hi Kahli,

Congrats on the baby to be, you'll love being a mum, we've got an 8 week old bub and my wife's just glowing with joy over him.....so am I.

RE your car/conversion and workshop questions, I've got a 32 with a 25 Neo conversion and it's at Classic Performance now. Ash from CP is basically finishing off a few small things for me and giving it a tune and so far he seems like he knows what he's doing. He talked me through an Infiniti V8 conversion he did on his old classic (old panel van) and he's tuned it up to run on straight LPG. It now has 190rwkw, which is a far cry from the original 20 or so! I think he'd be interested in working on it for you and I think he'd do it well.

Jeff at Speedlab also has a good reputation for tuning, but I don't think he'd be as interested in finishing the conversion as he seems more of a tuner. Others may be able to offer more information than that. Jeff is also very hard to get hold of, I tried for a week straight including actually dropping into his workshop but I couldn't get in contact with him so found Ash.

Other than that, as others have said, the workshop that started the conversion will likely put more effort into finishing it properly. Or can your BF do it? I did most of mine then just got Ash to check it over.

If you wish I can give you more feedback on Classic Performance after a week or so when I get mine back.

EDIT

martin donnan FTW

Just ask him to tune it properly, and not on the edge. And make sure it's 100% safe after the tune is complete. Keep an eye on the knock meter.

In saying that I only use Jeff and sometimes use a mate from Tassie when he's up here.

Jeff won't touch the car til it's complete, but he's the one I'd recommend to tune it :)

I've also had a mate recently who has a s15 and took it to Jeff. Car wasn't making much power and wasn't running to good with his tune. Took it to boostworx and the car made alot more power and ran smoother.

Yeah I haven't heard anything bad about Jeff's work.

BTW, I was just talking to a mate who's been getting Jeff to tune his 33 for a while and he said Jeff's been missing for three weeks and noone knows where he is! No wonder I couldn't get through to him.

Not saying anything bad against Jeff but I know as a potential customer it would piss me right off not being able to contact him, especially if I had issues with a tune, etc. Would be very frustrating to me

Martin is the only person to tune my skyline, first tune was back in 2005 then tuned again in January 2009 with new turbo's etc. Car has seen about 8 track days/time attack's running 18psi 320kw flat out lap after lap. Not bad for a standard internal 33 RB26, really cant fault his tunning. Recommend Martin to anybody wanting a tune for a skyline.

Not Willal? LOL.

Who are you for me to explain anything? Lil miss32 asked for opinions i gave her mine. She can come look at my car instead of me saying anything and make up her mind :)

Im sure there is more then enough pplz to PM you with their experiences, and as per rules, cant shit talk about workshops..so i wont :(.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
