I know the owner and his family very well and I can say that they do great work. I have recommended them to people before, and have had things done through them before, eg: clutch on old car, as well as fuel pump and tune there recently for my skyline.

John Whittaker, the owner, really knows his stuff, and has been involved with turbo's etc for a long time.

What a coincidence.... Just got home from there just now.

They seemed pretty good. Although I effectively paid $270 for some new spark plugs and a couple power runs. My car was running fine (as far as it can with stock ecu) so nothing needed to be done to it.

Anyway my results were 239.4rwhp at 1.5 bar. John turned this down to a safer 1.2 bar with 220rwhp the result.

He has a real nice RB26DETT engined 280Z.

hah cool

i prolly heard yah car on the dyno :)

i just called them and got a few prices .. they are a little $$

got a price on a high flow for my turb, a clutch, oil catch and timing belt and bearing on my car.

Will have to think about it

they are nice people though

Yea NIZ30 spark plugs for the RB20 are around the $120 mark for the platinum ones so that could be the reason why it was a little more expensive... I think a dyno tune is about $140 or something???

I havent actually asked for certain things so i can't talk say much about there prices. I thought they would give pretty good prices for high flowing turbo's etc...

That's a good result ont he dyno!!!

It's actually a 260Z, it was in fast fours a couple of months ago. His son has the same green colour 240z with a turbo motor in it as well. Has about 260bhp.

he quoted me 2400 for a rebuild on my turbo that will flow 440hp

440 for oil breather, 1015 for clutch.

I got the iridon plugs in my car last week and 3 hours on the dyno at chip torque $430 all up

Car went from 197rwhp to 240rwhp but they put it back to 235 as it began to ping...still a little under what i want with the current setup bt its better than what it was.

You could probably get it all, or whichever one you wanted done at a better price if u went in there n spoke to him. The amoutn of people that call wanting prices they have to say a certain price for everything.

If your serious go down there n have a chat to him, he might be able to tell u a better option, n im sure he could work out a better price..

I haven't done alot. I had big plans for it when i first bought it but..

It's got 3.5" trust system, and i put a double dump n 3" system to cat.

HKS filter

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller.

GFB blow off valve

Bigger fuel pump

Still got standard cooler..

I only got about 130rwkw on Brisbane Tuning dyno, but i have beaten 2 gts-t 32's both from down low n highway that have the same mods as me, but with a cooler and more boost.

Got wheels n stereo nst uff liek that as well, n should get GTR front bar for it in the next couple of weeks. But as off about Febuary it will be for sale...

How bout yours?

i got Plenum

Front Mount

3.5" Zaust

Microtech ECU

just running a bleed valve atm 13psi

pushing 175rwkw

got bilstein suspension

i am wanting to get it to 250rwhp with the current setup..

got to get a dump pipe and oil catch asap ..

it goes ok...but still to slow :)

got 18" mags on it and 400r front bar

getting a stock bar back on it soon ..this ones to low

y u sellin ?

175rwkw isn't too bad. That's with stock turbo?

A dump should make a fair differance..

Well I had planned on going all out on it but I really would prefer something a little newer and something that is easier to make go fast...

So I am thinking a new shape turbo supra or Series 6/7 RX7..

Get something crazy before I get my first house...

what have u got 33 or 32

a supra is a big heavy bad handling slug :)

stick with the skylines :D

rx7 aint bad...but its still no skyline

not that i am biased or anything ;)

my turbo is the stock turbo

i hope the dump pipe gives me some power

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
