Racepace...

[RTFGTR]

Hi,

My GTR will be in OZ very soon Got the go ahead from DOTARS last week.

In my first thread in SAU about 3-4 weeks ago I asked fro some advice on where I should go to get it tuned when it gets to OZ. I would like to take it to Racepace, from advice from a few people who have had good things to say about them.

My only problem is... I cant seem to find them listed on the net, phone book or www.whitepages.com.au to book in a slot for a tune. Would like to book it in now as I suspect that they would be booked out weeks in advance??

Can anyone please give me some info on Racepace (phone number - web site)

What do you think the damage would be for a tune on the 4W Dyno? I also do not know what ECU my GTR is using. I would expect it is not stock, running single T78. Would this cause Racepace any problems (would they be able to tune just about any ECU from JAP?)

Also... anyone that would advise of a diferent place to go... and why.

Thanks in advance.

a T78 with the stock ECU? nah, no chance.

Wait till it gets here and see what it has.

PM me for the number of the workshop.

Ben @ Racepace is starting my RB25 full-build this week with a bit of luck.

He comes highly reccmoended

Web site looks good. Will give Ben a call today.

ben has a 2wd dyno. all he does is drop the front drive shafts out....and GTR in 2wd.

Racepace doesnt encounter problems. Ben will give his honest opinion when it come to your car, whether you take it or not depends on how deep your pockets are. Yes there are cheaper people out there, but why risk it.

Another workshop that is recommended is ICE Performance, Gerald and Nigel are pretty cool blokes 9512-7591

My thoughts on how deep your pockets are usually $1000+

When you say... how deep your pockets are. Are we talking $1000 - $1500+ just for a tune on a 2WD dyno? Do I get a full service with that? I have emailed racepace this afternoon and requested a ballpark figure for what I requested (compression test and mild tune) Yet to receive a reply...

I have been advised that I could get this done at Hyper-Tech for about $600 - $700 on a 4WD dyno.

I have no doubt that Racepace are very good... but you make me nervious when you use the phrase "how deep your pockets are". I'm GREEN as they come and do not like throwing my cash around just because "It's that much"

I've got a few nice bills coming up soon (Shipping, GST, Stamp Duty, Compliance, My usual shit and my woman is getting ancy about that rock!)

I think I will also get a quote from Ice and Hyper-Tech. Just to see how deep my pockets need to be to go to Racepace.

ICE or RACEPACE

the only 2 places i would ever use.

[NRB]

Skimping on the tune could spell big bills in the future. I personally only trust Ben to tune my car. Sure he's not cheap but every cent you spend is worth it.

[RTFGTR]

OK... point taken.

I will try to get that pin out with the aid of a 2 tonne forklift

PLEAESE PLEASE PLEASE only use the two tuners that been have recommended. ICE OR Racepace. There is NO ONE ELSE i would use........AT ALL!!! I cannot make it any clearer.

What ever ben quotes you; is for you, not anyone else. Although prices dont tend to fluctuate. ICE may be a little cheaper, you would have to ask them

either way, call them rather than e-mail

[RTFGTR]

REDR32 - Can you give me Racepace performance phone number. It's not on the web site and it's not listed. I have ICE phone number. I will try to get in contact with Ben tomorrow.

Ah, i aint got time to get it outta my phone.

Merli to the rescue

[Merli]

Yes, I already told Ben that his flashy (get it? ) website doesn't even list his phone number, but feel free to tell him again

Also mention that NSW is a great place to live and move his workshop

Perhaps it's intended to be that way. Exclusive clientale only

"Perhaps it's intended to be that way. Exclusive clientale only "

I kind'a got that impression... don't think I have enough knowledge about my GTR motor to "hang".

I've never even heard of Hyper-Tech... take into account that you get what you pay for.

If they can do it "cheaper", then that's what you'll get.... cheap service.

Well hypertech we're indeed very well known amongst other things for their extreem pricing & apexi distributorship. However I recently heard they have stopped dealing with the public and know focus on racing.

Meh - thats crap. Ben's cool - and very helpfull.

Most people I think are just intimidated by him because

a) He's bigger than Conan the Barbarian and

B) You can only see his car go past by using one of those slow motion replay camera's.

But I've always found him to be very helpfull in both general skyline stuff as well as track stuff where it's been of no financial benifit to him to do so. So I wouldn't say Ben was Exclusive by nature.
