Aberax has, so has Heslo I think

-D

Yup, I had my block/crank/piston machine work done there at Rhemac, all up was around $2.2k. I think Helso had head work done there also. I know Lewis Engines do head porting for about $1200, so if anything is go by, then Rhemac will be more expensive. If you give Rhemac a call on 08 8522 2588 and speak to any of the guys there, they can help you - I dealt with Peter.

Ive had 2 heads built, one RB25det and one RB26dett, with all the fruit

They were through Boostworx who outsourced the work, happy with the results in both cases.

Ask Shaun @ boostworx for a quote?

on both ocasions my cost was about a grand for the head porting/polishing work

in both cases I supplied cams and cam springs, the rest was left to the machinist to recondition/replace as necessary

rb25det - tomei poncams & springs

r32 rb26dett - greddy R34 cams & HKS camsprings, r34 cas

for both engines Im using basic "areospeed" (ebay) adjustable cam gear pulley wheels, exhaust only on Rb25 and the pair (exh/in)for the Rb26

the pull from the Rb26 is insane! and thats on a runin tune only, with stock turbos (steel wheel rebuilds).

very happy with the work performed. ask around for a quote.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
