ill drop the penny for you Shane...the car has a turbo and is performing...so id say thats forced induction performance. Feel free to suggest what section is more fitting.

Guilt-Toy bought a Dyno Dynamics dyno, packed it and his car into a container and moved to Georgia to set up the countries only dyno tuning and performance workshop. Its a little known that he used to tune cars via the mobile phone network over there while in Aust. Linking into the cars ecu using two laptops linked via a mobile broadband connection. He has tuned circuit cars one of them went on to take out the national series over there. I think his business is called European Motorsport Engineering and has just finished tuning a WRX that is competing in the European Rally Championship.

Good on him! :banana:

I dunno, maybe The Wasteland?

Why did he feel it was necessary to jump abroad and setup a tuning shop, if he is as good as he's made out to be he's expertise should have been muchly appreciated here in Aus and he would have done well.

Bodyform now guilt-toy, ur wanking hand must be pretty sore by now paul :D

Maybe General Auto, but not Wasteland.

lol, the Dirt man is up to his usual tricks!

hahaha.. love it (miss you man)

I don't expect anyone to understand why I did this. It was a very crazy move and it has been a good experience, I guess I am chasing my dream.. what that is exactly i am not sure :D All i know is that I was sick of the 9-5 IT job back home, every day was the same for me it felt like I was not living my life how i wanted to and this opportunity came up and i grabbed it.

I have seen the ways people work on cars here and its admirable and also can be dodgy at the same time but it works.

At the moment there are 3 blown up skylines here because no one knows how to tune them or treat them properly and it takes a long time to rebuild the engines because parts take weeks to get here and freight is very expensive from Australia.

The workshop opens in a week or so and we have Drag Racing in 2 weeks as well. We are also working on making engine parts here and exporting them.

Search for Guilt-Toy on youtube you can see some videos i been posting, its really hard to contain myself in my car here because you can get away with anything.. Replacing tyres is becoming expensive :banana:

My skyline is the fastest car in this country and the locals here cannot believe how it goes and sounds. Its going to be great to build fast cars here and we will change motorsport in this country in a big way.

So yeah bag me out for chasing my dreams... I don't really care. I do not regret what I have done.

Ohhh yeah and WRX placed 8th in the rally in Europe - not bad for a 4 day rally competition that had 200+ entrants!

I admire what your doing mate and I wish you all the success in the world!

We should all take a leaf out of GT's book i reckon so many of us go about our lives loosing sight of our dreams as each day passes

just out of interest what did it cost to ship your car there?

cheers mate.

It cost about $6,000 USD for a 40ft container which had my car and the DD Dyno in it. Took 2 LONG months to get here too.

My car still wears its www.skylinesaustralia.com sticker on the back also :D

When i tell people i am from Australia most of them don't even know where Australia is !!

^^^^^

Is that a pic of the latest plug and play Link/ViPec?

dunno but id love to give her a play and plug.

Sounds like an exciting adventure you're heading on =D

Maybe you can post up some photos/videos of the local rides once you're all setup!

GL with it all.

yeah i actually thought a thread about what he was up to would be a good interest that people would like. Maybe the Guilt-tripper can update us on this thread in future.

This is the only GTR in the country atm, it has a blown valve on number 6 cyl. They did not buy a new valve from nissan, instead they got a valve from a truck engine new and machined it down to suit and are installing it in the next week then I will tune it for Drag racing day

Mate that is an awesome move! Good luck with it all and keep us updated, would love to see what the Eastern European modifying scene is like. Im Czechoslovakian and havn't been back in about 10 years but would love to go back and visit as many countries as i can to see what it is all like nowadays.

Good luck again :D

Good stuff man.A workshop isnt complete without chicky babe calenders :D

I see a very smart business venture in this. We've got a few tuner shops and alot of cars that get fixed up for street and mostly our 1 track but there isn't a dyno on the island and I think the first guy to bring one over and is able to tune would be set.

How great is it to own the fastest car around? lol

As I keep saying Anthony, you're a prick and you shouldn't have left me! :blink: But seriously, heaps proud mate, keep flying that Aussie flag! :)

Kinda makes me a bit pissed that I'm sitting here in my boring ass IT job though... :blink: You guys need a stereo department? :down:

actually we do, we just got dealer rights for Alpine and JBL and we will be importing from Dubai

this is awesome shit ... no really, I applaud you on making such a big move and actually chasing your dream. I'm sure you will be successful, considering the competition :) But yeah, good stuff man and best of luck, keep us posted with rides that you've worked on!

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
