I dont really know what catagorie to post this, but just want to leave some feedback for a workshop i had some custom tuning done to my R33. I see alot of people arnt sure where to take their cars for tuning and always want feedback from other people - so id like to put in my experience at Chasers Motorworks (west melb)

After having bad experience with a local tuner here in Geelong i decided to give the guys at Chasers Motorworks (west melb) a call.

I explained all the issue on the phone on what the skyline was doing, they said they have some idea on what it could be and that i would be required to drop it off. I booked in my car, gave them my details and left. Late that afternoon i got a call back from Chasers saying my car was ready pickup (which i thought would have taken few days as there was soo many issues)

I paid $120p/h (i need 3 hours) for sorting out all the tuning issue i had & i must say im extremely happy with the outcome, the service & price at Chasers!

  • Professional workshop / uniform / clean / modern premises (not some dodgy tin shed on some back road)
  • Professional Service (never treated me like an idiot & explained everything clearly after the tune)
  • Pricing - Not exspensive for the service they provide!
  • Great bunch of people who dont talk sh*t / give honest advice & tell you how it is!

Highly recommended.

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
