Hyper-Tech done work on my brother in-laws MYO WRX. They were not cheap and did stuff up 2 x AFM and then charged him for each one they broke, he did come to a compromise with the manager and sorted the AFM problem by installing a MOTECH ECU (not at Hyper-Tech) after all that! I was not aware that they no longer deal with the public.

Anyway, my local garage have just quoted me for the compression test anyway ($50) I have been going to him for years (2 doors from my house) and trust him 100% - He mainly deals with Hot Rods not Hot JAP's and has said he will look at it for me and if he's not comfortable with tuning it, will advise me so. I think I will leave it at that for now until it's actually in my hands so I can see what ECU it's using ETC...

Thanks for your help.

RacePace all the way - Ben gave me plenty of advice prior to purchasing my GTR as well as ongoing, even when it did not financially benefit him. I don't even bother getting a quote from him now - i just drop my car off, pick it up and pay him.

So yeah - RacePace or Ice all the way - definitely not HyperTech, i have a million and one reasons why.

I too will recommend race pace. Ben is without doubt "The Man" and knows his stuff. He is not cheap nor expencive and charges what his expertise is worth and when you are talking about such an expensive motor as an RB26 to rebuild I wouldn't take the chance.

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
