Just had my turbo/housing/dump pipe etc. replaced by Fast & Furious in Fyshwick, cost me $900. Perfect job, very honest and clean. Turbz goes ten times harder plus they detailed the engine bay for no additional cost. I highly recommend them.

I'm still a bit 50/50 with Parvis at Fast and Furious.

He's done me some favours, but I always get the "and i had to do this and this and this", and simple tasks like installing an exhaust cost me $280.

He's a nice old guy, and I'm prettysure hes honest, but I just cant help but feel shafted sometimes.

I'll keep going to him for general servicing, because its close to work, but I think I'm in love with autotech now.

Can anyone recommend an honest suspension shop that doesn't charge the earth and does good work / inspections?

I haven't seen a rap for Howard Revell Steering in Fyshwick yet. Good honest shop, lots of experience (inc. track and rally) and last time I went got a free no obligation inspection and quote. The hub that 'may' have needed replacing was fine and alignments always spot on. They sponsor local motorsport and competitors and are located next to Reliance Rotary in Lyall St, parking can be a pain but you can't have everything :P

PS: NOT to be confused with Revell Steering in Tuggeranong; completely different ball game.

hey guys im Tony im not new to this forum but i dont post much

i have been to a few mechs around canberra and id say John and Angelo are good guys always keen to help out.

Joe and Phil from skyline performance did a REALLY clean engine conversion on my mates lancer and they had a gtr sitting there that was immac. they charged a fair bit but the job was well done.

Danny performance garage real nice bloke and knows his shit but is always busy.

so my big thumbs up to those guys.

i drive a 180sx btw

Does anyone know exactly where Eddie who used to work at intergra motorsport has moved to. I'm hearing autotech but im also hearing some place in hume and autotech is in tuggers.

If you have a car that doesnt require that much special attention and you are in Gungahlin then Paul White are great, taken both my GTR there and my brother Civic and never had a problem and always finished on time and on budget if not less, but he will tell you whether or not he can do something rather then try and fail.

I also would NOT recommend the window cleaners at my work, as i see people using them to clean their wheels and everything else.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
