try posting in the victoria section rather than GAD for a better response..

i think you will find that one of the owners of ice performance is a member of these forums and the SAU-victoria club (LEEWAH is his nickname) and that half of the victorian skyline drivers swear by this workshop

Warren.

Leewah is not an owner,Gerald and Nigel are the owners.There work is superb.My S15 now makes 242rwkw and they will be fitting cams,afm and tuning my GTR,current tune 330kw @ wheels on Racepace dyno.Reason I go to Ice rather than Racepace who built my motor is they are closer,plus I hate driving near Knox.Cant go wrong with either shop IMO

most of the info is correct in the post above :)

Well heard of, do a search dude.

We have out SAU-Vic dyno day there in 3 weeks. Come along and have a chat.

All the people in the know will be there :)

i wouldn't trust ice with my car...

won't go into it,  but a couple of friends had bad experiences with them.

probably best you didnt.

last thing we need are "my mates, mates" storys again.

EVery workshop has a horror story, it just depends who's the one telling that story.

Get over it

dude what rock have you been living under!

i'm in perth and even i've heard of these guys!!  :)

lmao, sorry mate was being a smartass.

mate,

the poster was asking for people *opinions* on ice.

good/BAD/average

I was posting my opinion, so get over it :P

I beg to differ. Ice Performance was originally started by 4 people which included Nigel, Gerald, myself and another friend.

Since then the last person has pretty much disappeared. Just because I don't work there doesn't mean that I don't own a share of Ice Performance.

I live in the county and it’s hard to find people here who know anything about modifying or tuning Skylines. I have been to ICE twice very happy with the prices and the results. I will also add I find most mechanics arrogant and unhelpful but these guys are the exact opposite I highly recommend them.

R31Nismoid, I know as far as posts are concerned I'm a newbie and to you and your network of friends here I may be out of line in saying this but here goes.

I think your previous comment is not warranted. I may be misinterpreting the demeanor of your comment but to someone like me I find it pretty rude (even though its not directed to me).

I think MerlinTheHapyPig made his statement and was professional enough to hold back any word of mouth comments. If a few of my friends told me not to go to a work shop I will surly listen to them. All he was doing is letting renegadeMR2 know his personal opinion.

I understand ICE PERFORMANCE is a contributor to this forum and I'm grateful for any help they provide as this is a great site. But just because they are a contributor I don't think admin should automatically defend them. I know Nigel is a member of these forums, why not let him to have his say. All I'm asking is for you to stay neutral.

Don't get me wrong R31Nismoid, I do agree with your comments but I don't think the "Get over it" was warranted.

I'm sorry if my post has gone of on a tangent.

Hear what you are saying mate and nicely worded reply by yourself.

Ash is good guy and having met him a few times in person can say this. Dont take anything too personally IMO that he types he is a decent bloke and means well.

:( B)

Where is the emoticon for giving someone a clip round the ear when you need it! :P

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
