They are round the corner from my place too.

I haven't been there [yet] but they have been modifying an r33 gtst for a while now so I think they would be pretty familiar with skylines...i think its their own car too [its white with custom plates like ATP-R33 or similar].

They have also done work on gsr / evo's and plenty of others too like VL's etc...I will probably head down there when I decide to do some mods...

Ahh..me too. Which area? I'm down the end of waverly road. Do you drive a yellow R34?

Anyway that ATP guy, didn't quite get a good impression of him when I took an NA car there not long ago. He said something like "We don't do NA cars, only turbo cars!?". Seemed pretty huffed about it :D

sounds like atp are turning out to be just like "all the others" i am really sick of not being able to trust these "tuners"...i have been rolled by too many in the past...:confused: are there any honest people in the automotive indusrty? perhaps why there are a lot of DIY stuff these days? pft / bah

these last few posts probably explain half the reason why i see skylines the minute i leave home, on dandy rd near chadstone etc.

i live just off chadstone road...but my R34 is black, though i have seen a yellow one twice around the corner in webster st...

Yup it's hard to find good tuners these days. Those we think are good may turn out to be bad etc. Sometimes reputation is not a good enough gauge.

I'll keep a look out for a black R34 (nice colour!) the next time round. ;) I'm in a dark grey R32.

hmm, on second thought. I went down there to ATP yesterday [thurs] and had a chat to the guy. They are nice blokes. Helpful and they seem to know turbo's pretty well I think! They have a GSR running 11.7 sec 1/4 mile times. Also featured in fast fours mag [on cover]. The guy said they have never exclusively been just evo /gsr tuners. They have been doing all sorts of turbo's for quite a while now.

They had 3 r33 gtst's [tongue twister] in the shop when I was there. The white project car of theirs is also in a mag [cant remember which one now]. This has 205kw @ the wheels approximately. Last week this ran an easy 13.2 at calder but had major tractions probs that they guys are now addressing before their next run. They are expecting low - mid 12's with their setup.

Mods, include FMIC, bigger turbo, custom exhaust etc...they are quite friendly guys to talk too and I am definately considering taking my car there for mods - they dont do servicing or the like though!

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Dale.

hey why does everyone want there car to go real fast over 400m, why doesn't anyone want to keep the kick low down in the revs? Cos doing all this stuff makes the boost come on later yeah???

why does no-one want to make a track kinda car, a killer round the corners, and still keep the punch down low. I know that if u drive a car properly around the track u should be able to keep it within the optimum rev range, but not everyone can do that :P

not having a go at anyone, just wondering why everyone is interested in the quarter mile?

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
