hey guy's im posting this up because im having problems on deciding who i want to build my motor.

I have been talk to they guys at Garage101 (aka import101) and they have offered to build me a motor.

the only problem is that i have never heard of them since i am in Qld and they are in Wa

as im aiming for a 10 sec motor (i know 10secs is slow these days) and as we all know motors arnt cheap

so i would only like to go dwn this path once but i highly doubt that

so any information good or bad on these guys would be awsome

as the title says im still looking for a builder perfered in Qld but any info would be great on any workshop

good or bad

and also out of curiosity

what machining can you do to your block (bang for buck) and is a must for a bullit proof motor

any info would be great on the two topics

Contact Mark Jacobson who owns Godzilla Motorsport (also a trader here on sau)...

He has one of the fastest GTR's in the world and knows a few things about building drag cars as well as street tuned cars...

Mark has done heaps of work for the SAU community and has in house engine building facilities...

Most importantly he is a sponsor and is accountable for his work by the SAU community...

yas that is very true

the thing is i bought a block off them n they have offered to build it

so it would save me alot of trouble them sending the block to me

then me sending it to some1 else

dose any1 else in wa driving a 10sec car built by 101

also is any1 running Nitto internals

Dude, give Mercury Motorsport a call on 3352 3363. They are using Nitto parts throughout their 1000hp 34 gtr. They are by far the best people i have dealt with in the last 6 years of building my car. Could not speak highly enough of them and their work :)

were bout is ERD

ya i heard Mercury Motorsport using nitto gear

n all though im 7hr from brisbane i still hear of ppl sending there cars down there

ya its all good to make 1000hp gtr but are the internals realy that good

i thought it was all bout the tune these days

id realy like to hear what combo internals ppl are working for them

dose the cheap stuff work jus as good as the expensive brand

or are u better off paying that bit extra

so far i think mercury are in front

but weres all the dirty detail not ever1 gets a 100% job

lol go ERD

hahah good thing this aint a vote cause so far ERD ar in front

i would like to hear some info on mercury

i think i willl get in contact with ERD

yet on the other hand im interested in tryin the Nitto gear

and as mercury being 1 of the only workshops that use that brand

so i might get in contact with them to

ERD will build you one with what ever parts you like in it!

He may have preferences of course but with my engine he gave me a range of options and i selected which ones best matched my budget and goals

hmm since i cant make up my mind

wat do all the ppl on here think

Tomie VS Nitto

im leaning more toward tomie

what do ppl think bout boaring is it worth the money

to got 40 thou

or even 20 thou

or is the standed boar good enough

both are good, depends on your goals, you may need to over bore wether you like it or not, there is no real benefit in going out to 40thou though. Talk to builders about your goals, they will help you make decisions regarding parts

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
