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'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
