Gday everyone,

Ive been taking my HSV to the same workshop for 6 years now because i have built up a great relationship and trust the guys that work on it.

As im new to the Skyline scene and more so the Jap scene i have no idea at all where to take my R32 GTS-T with RB25 (will be a drift car) when it finally arrives. Pritty much straight away i need to get an aftermarket computer and have it tuned. As this is such a major thing i want to get it right the first time and both not have my engine destroyed and also have a great reliable tune.

Where do you guys take your cars and whats your thoughts? Also those to avoid would be great.

Yes i know i could search and i have, but im after opinions and and first hand advice.

Cheers

Andrew Suvajac at ASR automotive (Castle Hill) 02 8677 3000 is the only mechanic I take my car to. Used to work at UAS, myself and several others (including S15 and Skyline owners) followed him when he left. Good bloke and good mechanic.

Croydon Racing Developments - but I think they only deal with big buck drag, circuit and street cars. Don't think they do much in the way of drift setups. They are the undisputed GTR kings from back in the day :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
