Bill keen doesn't tune at Turbo Tune.. He's the brother of the Turbo Tune's owner.

Bill does all the turbo stuff at his place on Marion road. Can't remember the name of the business. ATS or something.

Bill does do good deals with hybrid turbo's.

He quoted around 2k for any type of hybrid buildup. (GT30 600hp core) with either a .6? or .8? exhaust housing. Basically he said try the the .6 exhaust a/r then for no charge you can try the .8? exhaust a/r.

I got my ebc put in at boostworx the other day for a very reasonable price (the cheapest i could find) and cant say a bad word about the service, my car was in and out in 2 hours as agreed with the ratios checked and a new power readout.

I have been to a few other performance shops and have been overcharged and dissappointed..... IMHO it's not always a case of "you get what you pay for"

As for servicing and fitting stuff like g/boxes etc... i have and always will take my car to nisscare (pt adel) where i usually deal with brenton (on leave atm). Good prices and always reliable.

Tried Tilbrooks and had a bitter sweet experience. Mark seems like a nice bloke and I have some faith in his diagnostic ability as he lifted the bonnet, listened for about 20 seconds and discovered about 3 vacuum leaks!

Then he passed it over to Mick..........he's a fast worker.....too fast for my liking......felt rushed and the results reflected his haste! Left me with a big bill, an expensive list of things to replace, a car that was less powerful, had a big flat spot and was chewing over 20l/100km!! Go figure :confused:

Matt (whatsisname) was kind enough to respond to my message of despair and suggested Shaun at Boostworx. Although some things are yet to be resolved, Shaun got stuck into it, got it running nicely again with power and economy back in balance again. As an added bonus, his bill for the tuning and fabrication work was very reasonable. He da man!!

Boostworx - highly recommended (I'll be back..........!!) :)

ive taken my 2 door 31 to turbo tune since i bought it, for any mechanical repairs. Treated well, price is a little dear i think, but its good for peace of mind. Ill be going back for a service/tune and camber adjustment alignment on the front wheels in a few weeks, ill post my experience

One of the lads at work runs a very tidy R31 GTS-X and swears by 'Fours and More' over at Pooraka. Supplied and fitted his Silver Top RB20 and have looked after the car ever since. Very reasonably priced and good workmanship.

I believe they have recently set up a Dyno facility too.

Would have tried them out before but I live on the other side of town and Shaun is much more convenient for me.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
