I dont even know where they are anymore. Shop around for a workshop. Go to a few, talk to the guys, see how you feel about leaving your car there and of course consider price. If you want to be able to say my car was tuned by advan or crd etc then just take it there. End of the day everyones experience is different. Its against forum rules to talk negatively about a workshop. Lots of good tuners out there. I personally take my car to forum member DVS JEZ, nice guy, good price, good tune and Im willing to travel.

Nah im not a flashy guy I font need to go around dropping names as long as my car is putting out good safe power il be happy...went into JC racing today just for a power run an check the current tune he said it was pretty af mix running a little lean just before it hits boost today it made [email protected] said with a tidy up an 16psi will see 280-300kw safely..he had a r33 in there making 320 safe with the same mods..you reckon JC racing will do??an he's only 2 mins from my house

Did he show u where it was lean and what it meant etc? I havent had much experience with other shops was more trying give a suggestion. I have heard of shops saying it needs this and that when it doesnt but they can book u in next day, see where this is going? If you went there, they showed you proven results, you liked them and you want to leave your car there then get a quote. If Hervey Norman are arseholes you buy from The Good Guys. Your decision and plenty of options to explore

Yeah he showed me coz the reason I wanted to get it looked at was because my knock sensor on the dc controller was hitting 60 the other day so that's the main reason I wanted to check the tune he showed me where it was leaning out and hel fix it all up two of my other mates had a power run today and told them that there tunes were both spot on

My car was tuned there. I then got it tuned by DVS JEZ.

Who are JC? I need to get my car looked at again but because Jez is up way away from me, its not always practical to go there so I might drop over at CRD for a look over. Lately Ive been seeing some serious knocks, even on low boost, in the upper RPM. Scares me.

friend of mine took 3 different rb30 heads down there to get them rebuilt and prepped for an upgraded set of cams they stated and i quote

"the heads are cracked beyond repair"

at which point they refused to return them stating the damaged heads had been disposed of.

the last head that was taken to them was a known good head and the second only had minor wear if there were and cracks they could have been welded i am unsure of the condition of the first

    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
