Anyway........... :ermm:

I think we all got a bit carried away for a while there.

I assume that the point of this thread is just to make suggestions on "Where to get your Skyline serviced" so here are my suggestions (take them or leave them):

1. Extreme Street Performance

2. Trojan Motorsport

3. Techworkz Automotive

These are the shops that have looked after me many times in the past and in my opinion are the only workshops worth taking your pride and joy to for tuning, servicing, modifications in or around Canberra.

Done :)

Hey guys,

Looking to get a nistune ECU for my Stagea. Nistune because I'm budget conscious.. but I havent been able to find much info on who in Canberra has experience tuning these things. I walked into DTS today and they had no idea what I was talking about.

I've searched SAU, but was looking for some local (ACT) knowledge and/or opinion.

Thanks for that. The reason I highlighted techworkz was because they're close to my work and just convenient for me. I'd love to get my car to ESP or Trojan as they are known for working on RB's, but unfortunately unable to get there without it interfering with work.

Ill give them a call and suss it out.

Ok.. so turns out that they don't do any tuning because they don't have a dyno. They're happy to install etc, but organise tuning via ESP. *sigh*

Why would that be a problem?

Drop your car off at Techworkz for a day or so and then pick it up when it's done... They'll take it to ESP and have it tuned for you, it's a win-win situation :)

I hate this thread - there's heaps of comments in here on people's thoughts on workshops. Obviously the bad stuff can't be written.

I think we should lock it like they do in NSW when people ask these same questions. People need to call around and make up their own minds because all workshops come with good and bad stories.

send it to sydney and use it as an excuse for a day trip up there

Isn't there some discussion about having it tuned locally vs interstate? The whole air pressure at home and all that?

lol, but dont get me wrong.. love a roadtrip.

why would you pay for a contractor to add a margin to someone you can deal with direct?

Most likely will head over to ESP and get it tuned and all that by them directly. I am after convenience, but at the same time I want to save $$$ anywhere I can.

The whole reason for this is because I was just after convenience.

I hope I didn't come across like I didn't like one shop over the other, I just wanted to see what option best suited me.

Not this thread again! Lol.

I was wondering if there was a tyre shop around that treats cars like 'ours' with care. The reason I ask is because this particular shop in Tuggeranong, where i took my Stagea to, sped up to the hoists and smashed the front lip against the ramp. EVEN after I pointed out that it may happen! Not to mention that he sat in my car and finished the last puff of his ciggerette and threw it on the ground.

I will soon be buying new rims and will require rubber for them, and I would like to bring it to a place where I will have piece of mind knowing the rim and finish won't be damaged and my newly repaired front lip will not cop a beating. heheh!

Please feel free to PM me to avoid the inevitable debate.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
