Has anyone heard of Insight Motorsport (i think that's what it's called). A workshop recommended them to me for a tune.

Any thoughts?

Scott from Insight - they're in Arndell park (by Blacktown).

A few good mates have used him with great results... and I've been to a dyno day there and there's no doubt he looks after customer cars :blink:

As usual though, depends what ECU you have... I wouldn't use him for my power FC, for example, but I know plenty who have.

DAHTONE RACING are definitely a sure thing for an engine rebuild they can from mild to all out whatever you want

I grew up with these guys so i know the workmanship is second to none you'll get great service and great pricing...i trust them so much that they are currently building my new RB25/30 motor with all the trimmings

Here are some pics for those interests to see what we are bringing out of the shop this year :happy:

I recommend Maytech (in my signature)

I dont work for them or anything, just a regular customer there..

Mayan, the owner of the workshop, has great knowledge on knows RBs, SRs and a lot other engines like 4age and mitsubishis and audis..

he worked on my last 3 skylines and i never had any problems with his workmanship.

his latest project was a rebuild of a red r32 gtr, he did all the mechanical and electrical work... i think the car's still at the workshop waiting for new coilovers to arrive from japan. but the engine is complete, speak to him about it, and maybe even talk to the owner of the car if you get a chance, you'll be impressed.

best thing is, he doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

give him a call on 0296006995, if he doesnt answer then he's probably busy so just leave a message, he'll get back to you, tell him Thomas sent you

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
