first service i went to x -speed and will never go back again rang them at end of day and they had not even done anything.

since then i have taken it to Imports 101 / Garage 101 and have been more than happy with the work and they also rebuilt my motor when i blew a big end bearing

For regular servicing, I take my car to a small indy workshop near my house (have being using him for the past 3 years, with 0 issues).

For tuning & modification stuff I take it to Hyper Drive or All Star garage.

What about GTR 35 anyone any good with them (Not Nissan)

Don't know if serious or not due to low posts and italics...

But Japanese Performance Centre have had a few and last time I was in there (before they moved) Rob the mechanic was rebuilding a VR38DETT engine.

Service ? as in change oil and filter ?? do it your self..

Or I have used most of the above with good and bad results over the years ( do it all myself now, rather me stuff up and learn something, rather than someones apprentice )

AutoWorkshop/TokyoMotorSport would get my vote, very reasonably priced and thorough.

  • 2 weeks later...

Down under auto in wangara, they're really nice guys do a great job are really thorough and know what they are doing. also they aren't over priced.

they have a lot of nice cars for sale there as well (where i got mine :P )

I took mine to ame on bannister road, nice guys, rung me before doing bits and have given me a list of stuff that will need to be done this year.

Would have had a go myself, but i have no tools/jacks/stands whatsoever so thought it would be cheaper to garage it.

While on the subject, does anyone have a spare day, tools, garage and knowledge to do a hicas delete, sparkplug swap, steering wheel swap, and some other bits. Willing to help and pay

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
