Tomie Pistons And Rods

[marksuxass]

Rebuilding the GT-R soon, was thinking of running tomei pistons (non cooling) with tomei rods, anyone had any experience's with these?, also any suggestion's on a good engine/head machinist in perth?

The standard of Machinists in Perth has fallen badly now so good luck. I won't risk recommending any of them anymore.

Apparently High Speed Engineering do some good work. Don't have first hand experience though.

I'm with NIB on this 1. BUT if HSE are any were as goods as Heller Sable next door (industrial machinest's) you will get some damn fine work.

Sweeting and Denny were the guns but closed after about 75 years, Heinz engineering is good but now he is a one man show is very slow.

Ranch Automotives is about the best NOR.

I still use Heinz for the Racecars but the delays are very tough. I wish Justin was still with him. He has a Sportsedan RB30DET for me there now.

Some of the real big names have dealt me some really embarrassingly bad quality work and will not repair their cock ups so be very careful when dealing on the Southside of Town. Kingscorps S14A racecar was sleeved by these un'named cowboys, They cracked his Bore and said nothing, drilled a hole in the crack and screwed a Grub screw into the bottom of it then pressed the sleeve into the bore, Result was the sleeve moved and Ashlys Racing was over, This is one of many nightmares from them.

Id love to Name them but Forum rules rightfully do not allow this so get a written Garranty on Workmanship.

I know Sam well but have not used him tho he is a good Guy.

I have herd a similar story regarding a RB30ET that was getting machined. pistons being returned with damage from some 1 dropping on concrete then denying all knowledge and a preped v8 going missing for 18 months then randomly showing up.
