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?????

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
