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

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
