Hi all, i finally bought myself a R33 GTR and got it back down here to melbourne, now i really need to get it on a dyno and tuned properly, where would you guys recommend that's both fairly priced and knows their rb26's?

I'm also looking at getting the plastic surrounding the dash wrapped in leather or replaced for carbon fibre (it's a little scratched up and looks out of place compared to the rest of the car which is mint).

Any help would be appreciated!

He has years of experience with RB26's, we know a few happy customers of his.

Thats our Supercharged Honda S2000 on top of his page that he did for us the other day........drives beautifully and goes hard......

For GT-R's and RB26 here is the only place to go, they will also be able to fix any issues that arise while tuning and tell you if the car is on the money so to speak.

Thanks guys, i'm gonna go with racepace i think.

Does anyone know a place that can get plastic wrapped in carbon fibre (with the bath they do in the water to give it a layer) as my plastic around the dash is all scratched up and the only really shitty thing about the interior.

+1 to racepace.

car gets better and better every time it goes there

Racepace for me as well.

RPM have looked after my car. Not sure if I have gotten worse and worse but my car is definitely getting better and better.

Given you're usually the instigator, long as you don't, it should be fine? :D

Just making sure you know that Racepace is where to go for a tune :D

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
