Want Performance Modifications Done To Your Car Cheap Money Wise? If So, Look In Here


Recommended Posts

yep, and because if they seriously stuff something up, then have insurance to cover it etc .... oh, plus they issue a tax invoice including GST, which I can claim for my business expenses.

But I wish I didn't have to get things done professionally, as  

1). EVERY single workshop (except GT Autosound) have ripped me off to the hilt ($70-$90 per hour is RIDICULOUS!!), and  

2). Most of them don't actually do good quality work (again GT Autosound excepted) - and most don't give a crap about you or your car, they are interested in getting your job done and the next one in the door.

My 2c

i've heard a bit about gt autosound and seen their drift and drag car but thats all i've heard! What are they, a performance workshop with a dyno or what? what kind of work do they do! prices etc!

I have decided to just wait and save for a power FC and a FMIC bleeders don't come too highly recommended from a friend... so I guess Ill wait till then and then perhaps get a hold of you for that installation! Cheers anyway!

GT Autosound are mostly doing car audio, and some basic mechanical things too. They have no dyno, but are high quality at a good price.

Yep, I've taken a good look and there isn't a whole buch of room to plum piping or a homemade snorkle.

Check the bottom of the CAI thread

Cheers

co-incidently today while i help install a mates fmic, i noticed that he had a cai box for his car although it was on a r33. Now im unsure of the dimensions of its compared to the space in the 32, but if its similar i can use my friends cai as ad mould that to fit your's. btw do you know if the r32 gtr engine bay - where the pods are similar to the r32 gtst's even though the gtr has 2 pods there.

  • 3 weeks later...

is the area where the pod filters are in the engine bay for gtr/gtst's the same. I was thinking cai for gtr's would be a little bigger as it uses two pods instead of one?

Hi Nozila

Mate I have a dump pipe and cat I need to install in my car to replace the factory one, Do you do this type of job? if so how much would I be looking at? and when can you do it?

The parts are on their way to adelaide and should be getting here on Friday,

Cheers,

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
