I'm assuming this is for your R34 GTT?

If so, what kind of work do you want done by them?

There's lots of shops I'd recommend for oil changes etc, but wouldn't let them come within 50 meters of the car if it was a turbo upgrade or head rebuild...

Keep in mind also, that every shop is going to have good and bad stories... Generally go with a workshop that's been around for a while, noone stays in business long if they don't know what they're doing and just generate constant bad rep...

Yeah I understand people are going to have good/bad, if the good out weighs the bad I may try them if there are no "horror" stories.

if someone compared them to OH Performance that used to be in Sunshine I'd steer well clear...

What are you looking to get done?

Looking for someone that can do everything or as much as possible.

I need a hi-flow cat and a new boost controller to start with, then I'll be looking at flex fuel and a retune to suit.

I've been to chasers (west) to get a knock from the previous owner fixed, came out just as bad... good waste of money that was. So then I tried RE Customs, they fixed the knock so I've been going there for services and got them to install an aftermarket turbo. No complaints about the work except its just too far. Takes me an hour and a half to two hours to get there in "light" traffic.

Basic mechanical work like hi-flow cat's and a new boost controller installation can be done by nearly anyone... If you've got an aftermarket ECU though, it is WORTH spending the time travelling a little bit to go to a good tuner! Should only really need to be done only once or twice per year IF you keep modding throughout the year and plan out when it is going to need a new touch-up tiune.

I know thanks. I'd get it all done at once instead of getting 5 tunes obviously.
Somewhere decent in the western suburbs would be nice though, whether a big or small job, as I said I'd prefer to take it to the same place so they know the car and what they've done.

Edge is a great workshop, but they send a lot of their bigger welding jobs to me, not sure they have a permanent fabricator there at the moment.

I second this... chasers left a bad taste in my mouth. Edge motorworks will be under going some serious work on my r34 gtt sedan and shall be making well into the 300++ rwks by next week. They are professional, prompt and clean n chian is a wicked tuner

Hope to see it there Rob, my Yellow evo is there for a stroker build. :)

Love Cihan's tuning and the way he explains any issues he's having with the car, I always leave happy... Well other than that one time I lifted the head during a run. :P

I also know Barry and Kennan, ive known Kennan since he was a little kid riding his bike in my area.

Kennan breathes, eats and shits Nissans, when i take my stuff to Barry its only he and Kennan that i trust.

Barry is old school, very honest and down the line, ive watched him work carefully and he does things how i would have done them myself.

Thats why when im busy or there is no room in the garage to work, we send them our own cars.

Also their Dyno guy, Ghian is really good at what he does, one particular car from Sydney was sent to them, a Supra with the plates Gameon produced some really good figures....run in tune was 31psi, 7500 redline making 750Kw at the rears....i wont get into what it made on 3 bar......

They will be installing. running in and tuning our RB26/30 when the time comes.

I also noted a lot of RB28 strokers in his engine room being built right now between the 2JZ's.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
