lol 8" tip dude thats way to big hehe

i got a quote off them for my line for a dump pipe and cat and they were the cheapest however... their quote was for a 3" dump pipe which is fine but the cat was just a standard one. I ended up buying the high flow cat and 3" dump pipe off bambtl on the forums. I am getting powertone in fyswick to hook it up :D so they seem good on prices but not sure about service

we urgently required some work done on staceys race car 1 day before a meeting. The guys there were A class and done a top job and it was at a really low cost. Those guys are the sh1t when it comes to quality work, top service and a good price.

I've posted this before, but I'll mention it again.

Now I know that a few people have been there and had good work done, so it's possible that they have had a change of ownership since I had my car there....

I had some intercooler pipework done there, only needed 2 pipes about 2 feet long with two bends in each welded up.

They charged me $400... Plus the weld joins had 3 leaks in them.... Plus there was an extra 13km on the tachometer.... Plus the clutch was slipping when I picked it up...

I don't think I'd go back there again.

Some places might be the cheapest, but it might be worth paying an extra 5-10% to a shop you can trust.

I've been to Powertone twice now and I'll go back there again without hessitation.

I've heard good and bad about City Exhaust-mostly good,though.F'rinstance,two.06L(Stacey and Paul)have a very serious car that they wouldn't let just anyone touch-if C.E. is good enough for them,they should be good enough for all of us!Having said that, Jay95R33's tale made me feel more cautious!As I work in Fyshwick,I had Powertone organise my ride to get quietened:I just supplied the cat'(sourced from AVO in Melb'),told 'em what I expected,and the finished job came out AWESOME.Greta flow,very little noise(I'm trying to keep the funbusters away...),and great looks!I'd recommend them!

Powertone have a very good reputation and have been around for a long time.

Im interested in this thread we are taking a serious car to City Exhaust in the next week or so. Jay95R33's comments are a little scary though. The car in question is an SR20DET powered 1200 ute and my mate has spent alot of time (and money) getting the car right. Hope they do the same kind of job as Stacey and Paul have said.

in saying that we hung around while work was being done, so no joy rides or inflated labour charges.Jakes performance also rang them for us and told them too look after us (if that counts for anything).

Probably does count for a bit. I reckon we will be watching the work like a hawk. :Paranoid: We dont have to worry about them driving it, its not registered yet. These days it doesnt pay to do a crappy job, too many people know about it very quickly. In saying that I have heard good things and the price is fairly competitive.

a mate of mine works at roadway in belconnen, want me to have a word and see if he can help you out with a good price?

That would be great. Let me know what he says. It will be from the turbo back on a Datsun 1200 ute. Note the ute is not running or registered... yet.

Roadway in Belco did a great job on my old liberty. Even helped me out free of charge for two separate incidents afterhand. Once to repair a crack that developed because of the lateral movement of a boxer engine and secondly to quieten it down after being defected. Would highly recommend them.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
