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


Recommended Posts

hey guys/girls,

where do i start, I can basically do any performance modifications to your vechicle at a relatively cheap price. I would like to offer my service because I love working on cars specialising in nissans ie skylines/silvia/180sx/s15 and i know how much workshops can charge. Mods I can do include exhaust install and fmic install. In addition to performance modificaitons, i can also do sound system installations and also basic maintenance to your vehicles such as changes to oil, spark plugs, fuel/oil filters, fuel pump replacement etc. If its related to cars then i can pretty much do it. Basically, i can perform any maintenece/mods to your vehicle exceptions are rebuilds, any internal engine work and road tuning of pfc.

My service is designed to cater to individuals who want the convenience, reliability and professional service of performance mods/maintence done to their imports but dont have the time to do it themselves at a fraction of the price that workshop's charge. If you are interested or would like to enquire about something done to your car.

Post here, PM and Call If Interested.

Here is just an example of a fmic that i did not long ago on a r34. Something like this would only require half a day tops.

here's one statement from a customer who had his spark plugs changed.

Duc is a nice guy........ helped me out with my sparkies as my car won't start....took me to autobahn to get them as well... You guys should go to his place to to get work done...hehe :)

he did not know why it wouldnt start, once i arrrived i discovered that hsi spark plugs were fouled due to not replacing his ECU since getting an aftermarket turbo thus fouling the plugs. I fixed his problem and now its running as good as new.

That was my R34 with FMIC installed there..

I must admit... was kinda reluctant to get a non professional to do my installs.. but I have spent numerous hours on the net chatting to Duc/nozilla and he has shared a great deal of his knowledge with me. So when It came down to installing my FMIC I was glad he could find the time..

During the install there were problems in the braces that had to be angle grinded and he msn me and showed me the pics before the ok..

Now not many places will not spend the time to take photos and show ya before the go ahead.. so yeah.. was very appreciative of it.

I know it was hard work and DUC did it for me for a fraction of the cost that workshops were charging.. ( I actually had to make him take more than what he wanted.. lol.. was feeling guilty..lol.. but u can screw and barter with him if you want..haha he's a TOP bloke)

After a few other installs and mods.. the word will get around about his workmanship..no doubt..

ONCE again..

thanks MATE!!

Now I can use the rest of the money I saved to get the vertical doors. lol..

Cheers

Iceduck out!!

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.

exactly why i asked if everyone is using professionals/workshops because if something goes wrong they would would be liable.

could you put that under my advatar joel or do i need to donate beforehand prior to putting this post up.

I'll leave the thread for a little while, I'll hear from Christian anyway.

sure joel that sounds resonable to me. There has been ppl having trouble contacting christian myself included, so who do i ask to verify my donation.

Hi Nozila I was just wondering if you could install a bleed valve for us?... I live in wattle park and have a series 2 R33. I don't really know too much abvout bleeders but I want to up my boost as much as I can without upgrading my stock intercooler and without blowing my turbo...can you supply parts?...

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
