Don't get people wrong here. As far as I know, there's nothing wrong with Ice :) They've got the job done for everyone else I know who's been there too.

There's no favourtism from me here, seriously. I know G & Nige very well and I also know Ben really well. Both workshops are great and do great jobs.

If you're happy with 1 workshop and they've done most of the things to your car, stick with em I say. Unless of course they tuned your car and told you that you've got a "safe ping" :(

After all the hype about Racepace i have decided to check them out. Normally i take my car to ICE (and have been happy with their work as well) but I have taken the plunge and booked my car in at Racepace for a HKS 2535 install, i went there yesterday and it is the cleanest workshop i think i have ever seen!!

Very happy how he checked out my turbo for me and ordered parts on the spot to get the ball rolling...  

Ill keep you all posted on the result!!

you won't be disapointed silva33. And he's tuned a couple of my mates 2535s on thier RB25 so he's done them before, stock injectors they made around 240rwkw on bens dyno (non-shootout)

SS8_Gohan: You can tune a little bit without an aftermarket ECU - if you have adjustable cam gears, and also the timing etc... but having a powerFC allows him to tune it properly.

He's got an R34 Ferni. Adjustable cam gears wont help.

LOL.....you guys crack me up!.....

I'll try not to be so scarey in future Marcus  :( ....and Snowey.....you know I only ever wear womens underwear on my head.. :Oops: ....

:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou:

:D

HE POSTS!

You would have to be blind if on this forum and in this section and not know that "Ben from racepace" and "power FC" are common demoninators. But does he play with Autronic as well?

Anyone have an Autronic equipped car and had Ben tune it?

Ben tuned my Autronic when he built my first engine.

Got a nice 375rwkw out of it 3 years ago.

Umm, wouldn't push it... He hate rotors. I know that much.

Autronic, Motec, Apexi and if you get him on a good day he may play with your carby.

Ben did my Autronic, after a few other great tuners palyed with it. I thought I got a new car when I picked it up. More torque, response and top end.

On friends car a Zed with an RB26 & Autronic, after a re-tune he gained 40rwkw and at 5000rpm another 50rwkw on same boost level. Car makes 280rwkw. He was extremly happy.

Ben tuned my PFC, actually Ben RE-TUNED my PFC, torque and power was evenly smooth through out the rev range and yeah i belive he can carry an RB26 on his shoulder.

Well as long as my engine still survise, otherwise i know who i'll go to as for turbo upgrade as well.

  • 6 years later...

The workshop thread is generally a good place to start

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
