Where to get Skyline Serviced


Recommended Posts

lol...

Well light fingered would still have worked but fingered is just better.

On a serious note.

I would fully expect a workshop to pay for anything that gets taken from my car whilst in their care.

Anyone got contact details for Ben at Intune? This guy is based in Fyshwick at the moment, right? My R32 is up for a service shortly, needs to be done by someone close to my work.

I've heard through the grapevine that Jake's Performance is closing down and he's going back to working from home.... anyone know if this is true?

I thought he was meant to be doing fairly well for himself?

I'm looking at getting a PFC+Boost Controller and Fuel Pump installed, as well as getting a car tuned for it, just curious of the choices i have (maybe someone should update the original post with a list of places in Canberra to get things done at, rather than having to trapse through a 16 page thread :O

Its in Queanbeyan on Lanyon Drive (the road that runs from Monaro Highway into Queanbeyan past Jerrabomberra). Its at the Caltex service station.

ta, i just got a quote for PFC, Apexi Boost controller, Bosch 040 pump installation and Tuning (of the car) for ~870 all up.

not sure if its a good deal or not, but it means everything is done, so it would make me happy.

Just had my car detailed at Detail FX and it is looking 10x better than it did before. If your car's paint is looking a little worse for wear or you just want a new wax job drop in and have a chat Justin or Rob. They also gave me very useful information on what products to use to maintain the colour/gloss.

You would have to call them as i think they have different packages but i got the meguires detail which cost me $500 which is a hell of a lot for a detail but A: it was not my money and B: they did a great job

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
