im just interested because im planning to get a car woked on overseas in japan preferably and i wanted to know what workshop everybody thought was the best ive searched on the net founds some reasonable and well known tuners but im wondering incase i have missed out on any so give us your opinion, this poll can also be treated as a means to discuss which tuner is the best in japan, so far for me its HKS and VEILSIDE most people i talk to think VEILSIDE is only a producer of body mods but i have seen their workshop on a High Octane DVD and they have built many complete packages.

So you're asking people what they think of a workshop that they've never ever been to, let alone had work done by them??? Mate in all honesty it's be better to use babelfish whatever to translate your request into Japanese and post it up on a Japanese BBS forum... and good luck on getting a reply! :D

I've had all my work done by my local SuperAutobacs and one small local garage called Furukawa Auto. When I was contemplating an engine overhaul last year, I was thinking about getting Garage Endless to do it, but their additional fees (ontop of parts and labour!) just blew me away. They managed to quote me the total job price 300,000 yen + 80,000 yen (A$950) for... aaah... nothing? I *shudder* to think what Veilside would do to your hip pocket all in the name of 'notoriety'.

depends on what you need done to the car? as all the above is a broad category of workshop.... and yeah as rezz said most ppl here including myself have not dealt with these companies but more like giving you opinions on who they like....

HKS: pretty much all rounder with their own parts so rest assured your car will be pretty much HKSed out....

Top Secret: its no secret this is the wangan workshop... top end monsters... also of late drift and some track...

Veilside: body shop as well as drag monster makers... also of late drift has entered their vision... they are even expensive by japanese standards so unless you have money dont bother...

Other: where are you at? what do you want to set up the car for? what car are you gonna do up? how much is your budget?

well let me know then i can dig up many other reputable shops in your area....

Why go to Japan to get a car tuned/built?

There is probaly plenty of good tuners in Australia ...

If I am not mistaken they have been racing and building Nissan /Mazda etc in Australia for some time.

If you should get it up to say Top Secret spec with complete engine etc...

Bare engine is 33000 AUD for TS RB26 2.8L+cost for work.

Probaly the same for complete engine from Mine`s.

You could get the car built locally and fly over a tuner from

Japan to tune it?

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
