What part of Sydney are you in?  Just had the same done for my R34 by Mark at MRC Performance & Dyno in Castle Hill, very knowledgeable with all things RB, also the best troubleshooter i've been to, he's solved many issues other repuatable workshops either caused or hadn't picked up on.

They offer a really good health-check / inspection which includes a quick run on the dyno to make sure all is in order also, mention this as it's really worth the $120 odd dollars so you know what you're up against for future mods etc.

If it helps break the ice, mention Daniel with the black R34 GTR suggested you call.

What do you consider a major service?

If it's a basic fluids, plugs, filters type of thing invest in a good jack and some jack stands and do it yourself.

You will save thousands over time.

Nothing about it is hard.

If you cannot see yourself doing a timing belt, if that's required, any local good garage can do that, just get them to do the timing belt, water pump.

The problem with getting basic work done at "tuning shops" is that they cost alot of money, this is a fair thing though because you get what you pay for, usually, but that is really only required for their technical expertise, there is nothing technical about doing the basic service stuff.

Plus money saved can be better spent on parts, or shiny things for the missus to take her focus of the car parts that she found stashed in the garage.

Plus there is nothing more satisfying than working on your car.

Basic service parts cost around $100 - $150 dependent on parts required.

I'm talking timing belt, water pump, gearbox oil, diff oil and probably needs a dyno run too. I'm stuck because I moved to a unit and dont have all my stuff anymore

 

 

I've never used one but here is an option, maybe, depends on cost though.

I always wondered about the legalities of such a business, cool idea though. I miss the days of servicing my car on the street in Elizabeth Bay getting death stares from all the hoity toity locals :4_joy:

I would love to start up a shop like that, with a gym with only racks and free weights

Oh, and a bar

It would be just like my old garage, only without the comments of, "how long are you gonna be", "can you keep the noise down", "how much have you drunk", "do you think it's a good idea to drink and train/work on the car in the state your in".

That shit gets tiresome..

Must wear safety glasses at all times, f**k that

Only a small inconvenience.

I actually aways wear safety glasses whenever I'm under the car, usually if I got shit in my eye working under the stands my head would bounce between the floor and some part of the undercarriage at least 10 times....

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
