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.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
