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.

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

I came to your wedding...does that make me the owner?

You could be

i got drunk at your wedding toby.

and by gt hyper, you mean sv?

Jah mun

You should get drunk again

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

This is true

I emailed racepace yesterday morning, but havent got a reply as of yet, so thats originally why i wanted to check their email address..

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.

and yeah lol, this is definitely the case!

I would love to go!

Yeah, he's a funny guy!

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.

cant say anything on here though... ash will throwdown the banstick :P

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

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
