Quality Work On Gtr's In Sa

[ovrtym33]

the car i bought was built by them.

everyone has been amazed to say the least at their work.

going there to get re-tune as it was martains old car to begin with but even untuned the car flys!

i know a few people that go there for general things and full race car setups.

but im guesing their not ones to go to if all you want is a new set of brake pads or your bov put on as they've got alot of import things to do with the 35's parts production for the USA

when Peter Hall was there he did services and engine rebuilds (built mine and done an AWESOME job), but he ain't there no more so im not sure whether they do anymore

Peter is now at JMS, GREAT guy and very friendly so maybe go there to speak to him as he has done many GTR's especially r32's, if not go speak to Simon at Morpowa

Hi Tech Dyno or gtfo John knows his stuff,

And possiably willall. Cant say Ima fan of Boostworx.

Didn't think Willal did regular services on "off the street" customer cars?

The OP was asking about getting mods done rather than a service. I went to Willall after I spun a big end bearing on my R32 GTR for the engine rebuild. Peter Hall spent a lot of time with me in formulating the parts list for the rebuild. Peter begun the work on my car but unfortunately left Willall quite suddenly and left my car in pieces with no-one to work on it. Peter recommended Steve from Manta and I had the car delivered there and the engine arrived later in lots of boxes - like a jigsaw puzzle - for Steve to put back together. Many parts were missing and Steve was required to go back to Willall on 3 separate occasions to look for these parts. All this cost me a lot of money and lengthened the time that my car was off of the road - although this seems to be a common theme with my car but that's another story.

Steve did a great job on the rebuild and I was able to get very good power levels from relatively low boost on smallish turbos with extremely low levels of knock indicated on the PFC. Steve is very pedantic, sometimes frustratingly so, but I listened to everything he said and trust his opinion more than most mechanics I've dealt with. You can see my mod list and dyno graph in the Forced Induction sticky for RB26s (page 7 post 136).

It is true Willall do not perform a lot of general service work these days. Our production schedule and engineering requirement for our WR35 GTR parts line-up puts paid to most conventional workshop style affairs. We do however undertake customer builds in certain instances. For example over the next six months Willall will turn out a specialised drag R33 GTR (owner looking for sub 10 second times - and obviously we have done this before). We also have a Tarmac Rally R34 GTR to build, and a complete ground up on an R35 to CAMS Tarmac Modern regulations. For this work Willall are fortunate enough to have Mark Tilbrook overseeing the process. I may be biased having known Mark for 20 years, but he has 'mechanical touch' and fabrication skills that are second to none and a track record of successful cars such as the 2nd place Targa R34 for Glenney and the dominant CTS drift car. So yes, providing you have the budget and a serious and mature outlook on the expectations and realities, then Willall can indeed build the GTR for you

I might come to see you guys at Willall sometime soon. Wanna get the Stagea tuned and you guys are the closest to me. I know little about your shop and facilities, never been there. You guys got a AWD dyno? I would assume so, stupid question, but had to ask. Oh, and are you guys open weekends?

Any idea on a tune to a Stag with stock ecu, no ecu plug ins? Need chip. PM me to discuss if need be.

only RWD at willall easy enough to drop the front shaft and pull a fuse

Far as I know, just need to drop the front shafts. No fuse to pull like the skylines.

Got talking with some SAUers and other Stag owners last night. Trying to determine what detail makes my "Nismo" edition stagea different from the others ... found quite a few differences. Better list them.

Hi ChristianC

pleased to tell you Brady has returned to work with us here at Japanese Motorsport

heading up our workshop unlike others were more than happy to undertake any work from minor jobs, servicing to full ground up GTR builds

as most would know Brady did his training under Mark while at Tilbrooks during the glory years

his work ethic and drive to exceed customers expectations set's him apart from most mechanic's Ive meet

feel free to contact us on 08 8363 5555 if you have questions

1400r, not sure if you've recently registered as an SAU Trader but you must do so if you plan on advertising your business on these boards.

Failure to do so will see your posts deleted and an officicial warning attached to your existing one.

If you have just done so, then welcome and please ignore this post.

[Martin Donnon]

Madaz, Our dyno 'front module' should be here and installed/operational before mid year. Its been ordered from Mainline. 4WD is a very important part of our R35 GTR development program, so it will be done, you can count on it

[Madaz]

that's awesome news Martin

[heslo]

Ah fantastic news! Martin dropped you a PM, been meaning to call during working hours but I've been busy as!

[JiN_MaN]

Ive just had work done on my R32 GTR track car through Japanese Motorsport.

Mechanic (Brady) talked me through the process and car was in and out in a day, as promised, and working a treat.

[SLED]

yeah I've had Brady work on my R and he certainly knows his stuff.
