Hey guys, went to a shop today, and was not 100% convinced with the advice I was given for the twin cam conversion.

Was wondering if any of you could recommend a shop who have specialised or built these motors before.

I am in Melbourne.

Thanks.

haha trent you are unworthy ;)

HAHA i had to just quickly check this thread :P make sure it wasn't a clown who'd been in contact with us.

I had some joker named Alistair ring and ask for a build quote on a rb30det build, i quoted 6-8k for us to do it our way, he said "jam it up your ass your way off the mark" Cat replied we don't build slapper's and i will only build rb30det's to Trent's specs (dont want any comebacks, and wont assemble other peoples work) but apparently this just aggravated him more and we are now dumb KENTS and apparently are going to have a shit life.... some people just don't get it :D

Looks like we dodged a tosser :/ Had us pissing our selves for ages.

6-8k is a great price... he obviously had no idea... I think HE should jam it up his arse

some people have NFI what its like to run a workshop... a lot more difficult than people think... its hard to run a small business full stop, let alone one where even the simplest of jobs can get really complicated

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
