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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
