Thanx for your replies Richard and kate.

I have looked around and the cheapest I found was $1150 including delivery and a free 'el cheapo' front strut brace from a guy on ebay. Bit sus if its genuine or not and he didnt answer my questions very clearly and the plumbing looked sus/cheap.

My mate got one from EVO a couple of weeks ago and I checked out there work and it looked good. So I decided to get one from EVO and it cost me $1500 installed. Also cost me a further $450 to install/set up my AVCR and dyna tune my power fc.

So what you all think? I reckon there rates arent any different to most workshops. Think they charge $70/hr.

Sounds ok.

I bought a Blitz LM kit and fitted it myself for $1320 all up. I figure if I want someone butchering my front bar/support it may as well be me.

You don't happen to own the Silver line I saw in Dickson last night?

So what you guys recon a Intercooler kit with piping would be worth for my R32 Gtst..???

800x600x300x76+ ...that size... :D:D

lol you n00ber you cant get

plus with your little engine it will be to big even with a 600 x 300 x 76 :) those r32s struggle to pull 5psi dont they :flamed:

oops thats what i mean... 800, but 600 core... Whatever...

5psi... aint that roughly what a R33 runs stock...hmmm

Last time i looked at my boost guage i was running 11-12psi...

Sounds ok.

Me?? Mines gun metal grey and I live down near Narooma on the far south coast :D

does anyone from SAU ACT go to a mechanic in Kambah called Ben??

he used to work at EVO but left.. his a ****in smart bloke, and a champion too

i know andrew (veilside_r33) knows of his good work..

he is highly recomendid by everyone that has heard/experienced his handy work, he has worked on my car, and i have been very amazed with what he has pulled out of it. he rebuilds RB's SR's, rotors, the lot. Tunes microtech/apexi/wolf, you name it.

im sure some other forum members can back me up with just how smart this guy is

Ben did a bit on mine (this was my first evo incident, not the second i posted about on the last page :cheers:) and did a tune on it. All in all I wasnt overly impressed as all that had been done was ignition timing advanced to all hell and back (and it was detonating on the street after I got it back quite badly).

-HOWEVER- Ed knows Ben pretty well and says that sounds unlike him. I also heard from another person, Evo were only concerned with getting cars in, getting a high dyno figure to keep the customer happy and shipping the car out. Ben wanted to spend more time on tuning the cars but his hands were tied by Evo. From the only time I spoke with him he seemed nice enough and knew his shit, not to mention I have heard nothing but good things about him from other people.

So in my mind, Ben is good but Evo limit his ability to play with cars (or thats the way it obviously used to be). Now if him and Ed were to team up...

Everyone dont be stupid to go to EVO MOTORSPORT cause when you give your car there for service or for them to tune your car the guys doing it will take it for a test run and give heaps of preassure to your car like doing burnouts, drifting and giving high revs ive seen it happen and heard heaps bad things about them from the boys in Canberra... I heard that Ed from Integra Automotive is the place to go if you want good tuning and service cause he realy is a good bloke to realie on and trust him to take good care of your care so id suggest to everyone to see him!

is this ben with shaggy hair ben?? i think i know him through my mate ivan zaf (zaf performance - 0422-136-289). judging by your avtar, you might know ivan anyway cos he works on youssef's car... but yeah if its the guy i'm thinking of, he seems like a really decent guy and he knows his stuff.

he's imported vehicles and does a bit of work all around the place from what i've heard (evo, with ivan, and he's done dealings with joe sukkar, and others...)

    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
