Some of you may know, some of you don't so here's the lowdown before the rumors start.

Ice Performance is going through a restructure.

Gerald and Nigel have been running Ice Performance over the last 3.5 years to build a strong and reputable name in the modified automotive industry. Together they built Victoria's fastest GTR, Australia's first 10 second GTR and countless other monsterous street machines.

Nigel has decided to part ways to start his own business in the automotive industry. The split is amicable and there are no ill feelings between any parties involved .

Business will be as usual at Ice Performance as Gerald will be running things on his own from now on. Servicing, modifying and upgrading of your car will still be conducted as usual.

In early to mid June though, Ice Performance will be installing some new equipment and remodelling the factory to also offer panel beating, spraying, body kit fitting and other cosmetic repair needs. More details about this as they come.

If people need to contact Nigel, he can still be contacted through the normal channels.

Gerald at Ice Performance can be contacted on 9512 7591 or 0414 359 888.

Isn't that the ICE address, or was that number 28??

ah good good, i might actually get around to having the bodywork fixed...

... i understand that the split was amicable but wouldn't they now be in direct competition? or are they going to be offering different services or catering for different types of clients???

Nige will still be there until the end of April.

Yes, the Ice Performance website is still on it's way. Just waiting for our developer to do something about it :(

LEEWANG …………… next time I see you, I will ask you ……“What did the 5 fingers say to the face……………………..????? S L A P !!!!!!!! lol

I have asked Gerald etc several times to come back to me with any content for the site, he was always too busy. I even got Ross to come down with me to structure the site. We got the sitemap sorted more or less, but once again been waiting for content which never arrived. Asked a number of times but nothing happened.

Good luck to Niege with the new business and I hope Gerald keeps going as well as he has.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
