I unfortunately had a bad experience with Chapmans....

I found their service to be relatively friendly but the lack of attention to detail almost cost me an engine, no exaggeration. I fixed what was missed myself in literally 20 seconds.

Also some spare parts I had in the car were either kept or thrown out which was a bit annoying.

Out of all the places I have been too so far I only go back to Elite Racing, his attention to detail is incredible, he spotted problems that Chapmans and Mercury missed and that was before I even popped the bonnet.

I have witnessed Dan drive out free of charge to help his customers when they have encountered a breakdown (not releated to any work he performed). What other mechanics do that for you?

Nicest guy too....

Having said all this, I will have to give the newest sponsor Hardcore a go sometime soon, from all accounts they are a good outfit with the new management.

Hardcore are happy to work on your car even if you don't have an open chequebook...unlike some workshops around the place :(

They also have built some very tough cars, including a 33 gtst which has 795hp at the wheels... >_<

I have also witnessed Dan from Elite Racing attending to a customers car 50 mins away from his workshop and not charge the customer for the call-out...and I have not seen anyone else EVER do this...Dan is first rate :(

But yeh, Dan from Elite Racing is a top bloke - you will seriously NEVER, and I mean NEVER find anyone as geniune, kinda hearted, honest and hard working as him.

And yeh, what a good way to start dano4127. Not too stock, but not too heavily modded either. I like :( Hope to see you out n about soon :(

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
