ahah i used to go to le mans automotive in templestowe

damn okay half would be a big difference!

might check them out :P

was originally going to see if trent could do the tune

ty

Anything is cheaper then Le Mans... As you and I would know! LOL!

Shane still knows what he's doing.

But if you're paying Le Mans prices, you'd go Racepace as they have the higher level of knowledge for your car specific...

Racepace charge accordingly and not as much as people talk it up to be.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

im more after a place which can do everything at once - tune + 100k service + install parts

racepace did an awesome job last time i took it there and is much cheaper than another place ive been to a few times, also their previous quotes were pretty low from what i remember..

anywhere you would recommend?

RacePace were cheap when I had then install a bunch of stuff; that's from a GTS-T owner who didn't want to overcapitalise on the car; don't be afraid to ask for a quote. And dat reputation...not that others are necessarily going to stuff up a job, but you /know/ RacePace are going to do it propery without any hassles/issues. Not every GTR owner is cashed up and there's a reason people drag their cars from the west to get work done there.

well that's exactly what i like about them, they did a great job last time and know exactly what they are doing.

and less of a hassle for me to get to than a lot of other workshops.

yeah, even racepace and CRD etc etc have horror stories... this will always be the case with workshops.

and yeah lol, this is definitely the case!

Yeah that email address is still the correct one.

Best call Racepace between 8:30am - 9am or after 5:30pm.

I don't find Racepace prices to be as expensive as some people say, sure some things are expensive but their work is of very high quality. Iv been their customer for years since Ben owned it and Chris has been nothing but awesome since taking over, always helpful and have taken care of anything I ever needed. Iv had nothing but good experiences and their knowledge of GTR's and Nissan's in general is amazing. I'm far from cashed up but I wouldn't trust anyone and wouldn't take my car anywhere else. I'm sure there's other workshops that do great work too but for me it's Racepace. Iv had a few interesting experience with a few other workshops.

Haven't heard/seen any horror stories from RacePace?

as previously stated... all shops have horror stories from ultra tune to racepace.

cant say anything on here though... ash will throwdown the banstick :P

racepace are fkn great... we all know that, but they are expensive... and that was the only point made as the car in question has a LOT of stuff to be done

      Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?

      First rb30 build, need advice

      By Rileymax · Posted

      Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

      You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
