Here is a link to a video of the machine at work.

5 Axis Headport Video

It is interesting (for a non industry person) to see the bit being held still while the whole head is rotated. From memory there was a thread about this going back 2 or so years ago but nothing came out of it.

So i haven't seen any local information on who offers this in Australia. However, if the gossip is correct then Trick and Mansweto in Sydney may be the people to speak to about this.

Kostecki engine centre in Perth do cnc porting - unfortunately no programs for jap stuff so I am told.

I got quoted $3,300 for my sr20 head through someone my tuner knows on the eastern states. He mentioned they do the v8 supercar stuff. However, it took months to get the quote by which time I had the head hand ported.

Performance Wholesale has 3 x 5-Axis Deckel Maho CNC machines along with 2 x Newen Epoc Contour Machines for bowl/seat work and also Renishaw Digitizing Machine. Not to mention Flow Bench, Cam Doctor, Digital Valve Spring Tester, Spintron machine etc etc. I'm pretty sure they are booked months in advance for work.

Cheers

    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system  
    • I've seen these as well https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/395822887806?chn=ps&_ul=AU&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_item&srsltid=AfmBOooak9PFJJwwNDusr8TrZ5lsminTjComhJr-Z4dJ52Tt35T1hBPl0wk&gQT=1 but always seemed a bit dodgy lol
