is ben still running racepace? apparently not

What does Ben owning Racepace have to do with the work that gets done there? (he hasn't owned it for quite some time now)

It's no different now as to what it was before, and Ben is still around anyways, as are all the staff - just a new owner.

Oh and forget about Nizpro - they be closing, if they have not already :P

i was under the impression that ben is no longer working there - if he is still there & a new owner is appointed, well that is no big deal

if he was no longer there then that would be a different place

He is not there 5 days a week - The arrangement in place still see's him down there when required.

Anyway I'm not going into it - every single person that was a customer under Ben, is now a customer under Chris.

Nothing has changed for the people that still use the place and everyone is still perfectly happy with the work far as i understand and business is going well under the new owner.

where is Red R Racing located do they have a website?

They are located in Newcastle, 2 hours north of the Sydney CBD. No website AFAIK, but you can contact him at [email protected].

Paul was also on the forum under the user name Swiper the Fox or better known as DirtGarage.

Cheers,

Ive decieded to get Red R Racing to look after the build and get Croyden to tune it. Visited both these guys last weekend and they are clearly the best option. Will be sending the donor short block up next week to get things started.

That's good to hear that you've decided. You will be happy with both those choices :(

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
