We have experience in RB's, SR's, CA's, 4G's, JZ's Nearly everything but being a 2 man team we are limited as we have only just opened but we are planning on being at full operating potential in the next month or two.

At the moment we wont be running a Dyno but within the next year when we can garuntee the funds as well as the business will will be running a dyno to tune NISTUNE, HALTECH, POWER FC, VIPEC

The website is still being built as we are all doing everything ourselves incl building the website it doesnt quite look 100% but we will get there.

Yeah as drew said the website looks fine man.

Got a simple easy to find style to it.

You guys like your purple haha

I might drop in some time in the next few weeks and check out the place.

Good luck with everything if you respect the cars and are not in it just for the paycheck then I can see it going very well in the ACT

Hi, welcome.

I wish you well and like the idea I having choice in the A.C.T. Hope you understand I'm sure we all have questions

I see on the website the team started off doing friends cars and now have a following that requires a workshop.

Who will be doing your Dyno work after the bolt ons.

Anyone specific if engine rebuild requests come in

Same with Paint/Panel work

Where have the mechanic/s worked previously

What's the differentiator between yourselfs and ESP, Trojan or AutoTech

Best wishes on your new Shop and the time to establish yourselfs and reputation :thumbsup:

At the moment we can only do small paint and panel jobs but depending of what is required we will them refer from there or get it done at other places at our trade price and the same for dyno tuning we have our own tilt trailer to transport cars after bolting on mods until we sort out getting a dyno ourselves.

As for engine building we can do that ourselves and also if need be sorce someone to machine parts and get them reburbished.

We generally dont want to go in depth about who we are planning to use for cetain requirements as depending on what needs to be done at the time.

We want to differentiate ourselves from most of our other competitiors for being a drive in drive out style one stop shop.. From general servicing to full blown track cars.

Our mechanic has previously worked at kmart (apprenticeship) Paul whyte auto as well as bobjane and bridgestone also having built several engines and worked on a lot of imports in his spare time.

We also have a qualified wheel fitter, balancer and aligner with a import mechanical mind having owned imports himself.

But if anyone wants to swing past and have a look and a chat you are more than welcome we do want to have a good workshop in canberra for a decent price competing with SYD and MEL prices. Having owned a fair few imports myself as well I know how difficult it can be to get parts and work done at a affordable price.

I along with most always appreciate some competition in the very limited Canberra market.

So I hope you take this as helpful feedback: Your spelling in official communications and your website is bad. I'm not sure it meets the "proffesional" image you want to portray.

I know a workshop is about the quality of work they do, but if you can't be bothered running a basic spell check....

I would have given you guys a go with my car, but I went and moved to Brisbane. Glad to hear about another import mechanic shop opening up and giving some competition to other workshops and more choice for owners!

Thanks for the response.

May drop in perhaps on a Friday evening during a meet and have chat.

The SAU folks I spoke with last weekend appreciate your shop allowing them to.

Cheers

Richard

No problems, we are in the process of organising more meets here at the shop for Gumby and some of the TMP guys and SAU and Nissansilvia guys to all meet especially while it is cold. No I have access to SAU and more forums I will be posting mentioning when we plan on having open days and meets.

@a20089 Thanks for mentioning that I will take a closer look at that. And yes we do want to have a proffesional image but in haste of replying to people and even typing other things my spelling does get carried away.

Hey Bren, sorry dude.. I want to support you here but we have strict rules about Traders. Unless you pay the Traders fee, threads like this are not allowed or the forum would be full of them lol.

It's also not fair on the Traders who have done the right thing and are paying to advertise on here.

I'll just lock it for now, but will have to move it from view in a day or two..

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
