ahah i used to go to le mans automotive in templestowe

damn okay half would be a big difference!

might check them out :P

was originally going to see if trent could do the tune

ty

Anything is cheaper then Le Mans... As you and I would know! LOL!

Shane still knows what he's doing.

But if you're paying Le Mans prices, you'd go Racepace as they have the higher level of knowledge for your car specific...

Racepace charge accordingly and not as much as people talk it up to be.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

im more after a place which can do everything at once - tune + 100k service + install parts

racepace did an awesome job last time i took it there and is much cheaper than another place ive been to a few times, also their previous quotes were pretty low from what i remember..

anywhere you would recommend?

RacePace were cheap when I had then install a bunch of stuff; that's from a GTS-T owner who didn't want to overcapitalise on the car; don't be afraid to ask for a quote. And dat reputation...not that others are necessarily going to stuff up a job, but you /know/ RacePace are going to do it propery without any hassles/issues. Not every GTR owner is cashed up and there's a reason people drag their cars from the west to get work done there.

SHEES! where dod you used to have it serviced? Nissan Australia? :P

GT hyper and the Trent to tune...

their quote for my engine conversion was HALF that of racepace... HALF... I have been going there religiously since

GT Hyper are ok

But I wouldn't go back there

Even if the owner did come to my wedding :/

Everyone has a different experience. I know Trent recommends them

well that's exactly what i like about them, they did a great job last time and know exactly what they are doing.

and less of a hassle for me to get to than a lot of other workshops.

yeah, even racepace and CRD etc etc have horror stories... this will always be the case with workshops.

and yeah lol, this is definitely the case!

Yeah that email address is still the correct one.

Best call Racepace between 8:30am - 9am or after 5:30pm.

I don't find Racepace prices to be as expensive as some people say, sure some things are expensive but their work is of very high quality. Iv been their customer for years since Ben owned it and Chris has been nothing but awesome since taking over, always helpful and have taken care of anything I ever needed. Iv had nothing but good experiences and their knowledge of GTR's and Nissan's in general is amazing. I'm far from cashed up but I wouldn't trust anyone and wouldn't take my car anywhere else. I'm sure there's other workshops that do great work too but for me it's Racepace. Iv had a few interesting experience with a few other workshops.

Haven't heard/seen any horror stories from RacePace?

as previously stated... all shops have horror stories from ultra tune to racepace.

racepace are fkn great... we all know that, but they are expensive... and that was the only point made as the car in question has a LOT of stuff to be done

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
