Well maybe you should rephrase your question to 'Has anybody had work done by Hyper-Tech???'

You should know what people around here think of Racepace by now!!!! :headspin:

I can totaly support Benny boy here. Coming from a family full of automotive engineers and having been involved in racing Formula 3 cars. The knowledge and experience is best kept to yourself. Ben would have spent hours and big $$$ trying and testing things and has built up a huge welth of knowledge in which he would be stupid to just tell anyone who walked through his door.

I think that everyone will agree here that Ben is un doubtably the best skyline tuner in Melbourne, if not Australia. I had my car tuned by Ben after another well known tuner farked it up one me. Without a doubt i would never take my skyline anywhere else but Race Pace. The guy is aweseome..... AGREED??????

[Bass Junky]

Hypertech are good by all accounts, but not many people have been tuned there, because they are quite expensive and have a long waiting list of customers with deep pockets who need their cars tuned.

They are technically very good, and Arnold is great to talk to, but they have to pay off their $2 million investment somehow!

BASS OUT

i had a very good discussion with Ben when i was getting new plugs and a tune up...

we spoke for a few hours about cars/skylines/management systems/tuning/racing etc., an informative discussion indeed...

even discovered Ben used to own a datsun 1600 with the same turbo engine as mine...

My car is going to Benny 2moro for the second time. Cant wait to get it back. If Vinnie was still a tuner there I would say they too would be great, but thats cos i know what Vinnie is capable of. Now that he isnt with them/Access/BGT im not interested(thats just my honest opinion). I would love to see Benny and Vinnie go head to head in a tuning battle!

Does anyone else on here know of Vinnie (currently working at Docklands STi)

[EDIT] Ill let yas know how i go once i get my car back from Benny, dont think ill be disappointed thats for sure!

[R31Nismoid]

Vin still works @ docklands STi, that was of a week ago... highly doubt its changed

As for... the Q&A, that all depends on what you were asking dude, although i find that hard to understand as i've never once walked out of that workshop or hung up the phone without my question answered no matter how stupid it may seem to myself

If anything it brings me another 5 questions... but i have a group of people that i e-mail should that occur even if the answers are somewhat... interesting hehehe.

Also remember mate, it might depend on what you class as an answer

Hard to say without knowing what you asked and all that sorta thing so i pull the reigns in here.

Stick with Ben.

[ferni]

Too many people going to Bens now - Go to hypertech

Seriously people who take thier car to ben for change of oil/plugs i think are crazy, bit of overkill - simple things like oil/plugs you can do yourself or any trusted workshop can do... more complex things like tuning/track setup is what Ben is for

Your car won't go any faster after getting oil/plugs changed at bens

[Starionturbo]

hahahah people pay for getting oil and plugs done? What is the world coming to!

If your a enthusiast and own a sports car, I rekon some Mechanical knowledge is essential. Forget plugs, Id pull a Diff and gearbox out myself at home hehehe.

[R31Nismoid]

its not that easy when you work 6 days a week or shift work...

some people have to

EXACTLY, my car is @ UPI now Deano's changing the plugs and getting it all ready, then trailored down to Ben so all Ben has to do is strap it up and plug it in!

[beefy]

Vin is still @ STI.

He can still tune your Skyline even working at STI. I haven't had him tune my car so can't comment but apparently he was one of the first Apexi Power FC Tuners in Victoria. True/False?

Working 6 days a week is crazy as well

true they have to pay for it some how, an the customers list is always bookd solid.

as for asking ben questions, i didnt ask him tuning secrets that keep him in the biz, just question eg: intake temp when tuning......an i sort of got yes or no answers an not much information

TUNER FOR HYPER-TECH

Eric Schlifelner is one of the industries most highly regarded performance car tuners, and specializes in Nissan Skyline GTRs. Eric was formally the Group A Engine Development Manager for Winfield Racing/Gibson Motorsport. Responsible for the engine development process, he produced some exceptional engines during his nine years with the team. Erics engines dominated the GTR racing program from start to finish, and in 1991 and 1992 won Australias most challenging Group A car race, the Bathurst 1000.

an if he is that good then how come not that many people go their? price? waiting list??????
