building cars / running businesses are separate things

there are a couple of bad stories about ICE going around, but this thread isn't a place to discuss this.

My main complaint about ice are that they are not very professional. They just say "the car will be done when it's done, and we'll call you". If you go to Amberleys or Rank Rotary (though they don't tune power fc) or race pace. They are much more professional and organised (from experiences with myself and friends), and will say "pick it up on ... and it'll be done"

Rank Rotary and Amberley are more a shop like a car dealer where you drop off your car and pick it up and everything is done as fast as possible. Half the time you dont know what was actually done and they are very stiff when it come to getting information off them if you are not paying $$ for it.

Ben tuned my old RB20DET Cefiro with PFC.

I had no probs with it, the knock reading rarely went over 30 on 30degree days!!

Also i have heard good stories of the new tuner from Chasers.

And there are plenty of bad stories of workshops. Most are chinese whispers, and 4,5,6th hand info.

But Racepace all the way for RB, SR tuning.

they are all performance workshops, I fail to see the difference, amberley and rank will charge top dollar, i'm not denying that, but they seem alot more professional, and I feel more confident leaving my car there.

If a mechanic/workshop won't give me information on what they did, I just won't pay them until they tell me!!!!!! :lol:

I wouldnt go calling someone that can build a 10 sec GTR with over 600rwkw  and similair Supra as amateurs. <_<

Really has nothing to do with it, I have seen that car in the flesh. At the end of the day anyone with the time and money can build such a car. Give Ben the same car, same parts and you would have most likely seen an even better car. I didn’t mean to say ICE are amateurs, they have been tuning imports for quite a few years now. When compared to RacePace Motorsport they look like amateurs in my opinion.

i never thought i'd see the day you'd raise a while flag :D

just had enough "workshop this" "workshop that"

when 99% of those are just bullsh|t stories to begin with, or a minor incident blown out of proportion.

Times change, people change... and so do business's

that is all

What are you talking about? If you like ICE and are offended with what I have said, sorry but get over it please … it’s an opinion.

I aint offended mate. :D

Just hope ur opinion is not going off 4th and 5th hand information as it tends to happen off forums.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
