Guys,

Apart from Ice Performance or Race Pace, where is the best place to get a pre-purchase inspection on a GTR? I know a few places have been mentioned here, but are there any good mechanics or panel beaters you would recommend....

Anyone from here think they can do the job?

Cheers.

CR34tion.

The guys accross the road do a lot of work on GTR's, they have actually just rebuilt a RB26DETT from an R-32.

the other people who I would suggest is Hyper-Tech Autosports in Vermont. They just serviced my car and they prepare a lot of Targa cars, and race cars, and have a very professional workshop. They are at www.hyper-tech.com.au

Tell them I sent you.

BASS OUT

Its pretty hard to get a proper inspection on a GTR though.. a friend had the same problem. Basically they either cbf, or don't want the hassle if they make a mistake in looking at it. They'll really only give you a basic "looks ok", even many of the performance shops even if they deal with GTR all day. I told him that, course he didn't believe me... he took it to a few shops and whatya know they said exactly the same "all we'd really recommend for sure is to give it a full workout and see what snaps". If it don't break "its good"

Bass Junky> Would i have to make an appointment with the dudes across from you and how much would they charge?

Hyper-Tech are very dodgy... i have heard many stories about them which i don't know if i should share..... I brought my previous car there for pre-purchase inspection.

I will never go there again.

Only go to Hypertech if you have lots of money you no longer need. they are a joke. I made the mistake of going there when I first got my car because I thought they were the best due to the Gibson relationship. What they are really good at is making things up so you fork out $$$ so they can afford their Targa cars.

I will also never go there again.

The car has been previously inspected by Race Pace when another purchaser was planning to buy it. They said it was a great car... apart from the usual little things, hence they don't wanna inspect again and they don't do inspections now cos of certain events.

Should i just take their word for it cos i can't seem to find anybody else...

ylwgtr2> if you wanna come for a cruise to bayswater, then i wouldn't mind your advice:P

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
