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

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

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

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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
