Hi All,

I was reading a thread a while back about a workshop at Lonsdale that was getting rave reviews. I've tried searching, but can't find the thread again. Can anyone tell me what the name of the workshop is?

Cheers guys :P

Yeah, i take my Car to HPIAB, he is a workshop mainly, but is also a store, mainly online/email/phone orders etc. You are always going to find positives and negatives with any workshop you look at, it just comes down to your experience with them. I have not had any issues with HPIAB, and i get along with them rather well and do suggest them, as will 2-3 other members on here.

I know there was another workshop, further south, at Hackham that was getting good reviews a few weeks back...something like Classic Performance, but i am not aware of any other workshops at Lonsdale.

Not sure where he is, But Steve Cramp from Manta is very highly rated and he's down the south area...

-D

Yeah Classic Performance.

The guy used to operate the dyno at Graeme West workshop and then opened up his own place down Hackham way.

I take my GTR there now since Boostworx moved 394857390487503875k's up north. Awesome service and awesome people :P they even gave me a tour of the workshop and dyno cell when I first went there.

Oh and their dyno cell is AMAZING. If I could live in it, I would. I would even hold my babies in there. If the cell had a womb.

Are you thinking of Steve Knight Racetech? Owned/Operated by Steve Knight (duh!) who is an Evo/Mitsubishi tuning gun! Used to work in development of Mitsi when in adelaide in developing driveability of the magna's etc. Also gun race driver, evo mechanic basically anything Mitsi, however has also been devling into Skylines And Subaru's of late. Top guy, great prices and calls a spade a spade.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
