I popped down to Chasers Tuning out near Nrth Melbourne and gees was there some hot cars there!!

I got some quotes for front mount piping ($800 fitted) and the owner Benny who is the nicest bloke I have met in a long time and he had a chat to me for over an hour.

He showed me this beautiful red twin turbo Supra that had just come in and told me the owner had paid 50k for the engine to be worked over to milk out a min 680hp at the rear treads.

There was a drift R32 being prepped there which was getting a worked RB25DET installed and a drift 180sx that he told me had a cool 56k in modifications.

He also told me a new project that he was about to start work on for an R34 GTR to break the skyline land speed record. He said this car would smash the dyno record for a GTR.

The other more alarming aspect of my visit was when Benny was looking at my car and said "Hey this is Matty Pyman's old R32, last time I saw this it had a shitload of electrical issues and needed a new engine loom"

Anyway I'm hoping these problems were fixed!!

Does anyone know the symptoms to tell if your loom is f*cked!

The moral to this post is that if you want a professional highly enthusistic team to work on your car head down to Chasers! I have been to heaps of performance places over the years and most of them are really tight about letting you into the shop. Benny will talk your ear off for hours and get as excited as a convict in a brothel. I have been told he used to test drive F1 cars and Nascars in Japan and has performance cars flowing through his blood

Benny top bloke and good friend of mine, project GTR 34 has been in the works for ages there just waiting for some parts, that drift 180 is benny's personal car runs a 3037s and MoTeC M4 ECU.

Woulnd trust anyone else, my bro has spent in excess of 20k with benny and all quailty stuff.

yep, chasers do all the work on my car and Ive never had any issues with it...Benny is da man

wait till the autosalon in late April....that 34 GTR will thoroughly smash the current outright power record

that white 180 he showed you is also in for quite a transformation...its getting a widebody kit and a new pink ***** pearl paintjob

2 thumbs up for Chasers ;)

man hes had that 180 for yonks... i remember when it was around his house and still basically stock haha its come along way.

yeah hes an awesome bloke... thats where i'll be getting all my tuning done once i get the next car... tuned for dori.

oh yeah sameer next time u speak to him can u ask (very long shot) if he still has the soarer battery holderer downerer... never bothered to ask him about cause i was never going for a roadie ;)

glad to hear you had a nice dealing....but anyone can talk the talk...I wouldnt be tooting his horn for him yet.....someone may end up with egg on there face....Coz i heard it 1 million times before from many people about many places

maybe its landspeed in australia not the world? ;)

i dont see anything wrong with being confident... im sure they'll definately give it a bloody good go.

Good luck to them.

he said, he said and he said....lol i know Benny is a nice bloke to talk to but we need provents. After all seeing is beliving. Good luck.

Ive seen the preliminary work being done on the car and the major work begins in the next few weeks.....but you are right seeing is believing, so lets stop talking shit and see what happens at autsalon in late april ;)

When i was getting my eyelids made from local bodykit/workshop (wont mention name) they showed me AutoCAD plans for their R34 drag ute they were planning to build with was gonna have a 1000hp+ RB31TT that was gonna break all GTR power records and was gonna run a 8 second 1/4 time.

The ute tray was also gonna have a spa incorporated into it and they were gonna have girls in bikini's in the spa when it made its debut at Auto Salon April last year.

This all sounded very nice but............. hands up all the people who saw this at MAS04 or heard about a 8 sec run by anyone other than mario in Aus?????

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
