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.

      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.
