Best Adelaide Skyline workshops?

[Campster123]

Hey,

I've got an R32 GTS-T on it's way in a month or so and was just wondering about a few things:

1. Best general maintainence workshop for r32's in SA?

2. Best workshop to do performance work/mods and/or engine conversions for an r32?

3. Best dyno tuner?

Cheers,

Adam

Be prepared for 10 different answers

I was expecting that

But its all good, at least it gives me a range of people to talk to, get prices and choose for myself whos best when it comes to modding my car.

Adam, i've got an r32 gts-t arriving in a month also. i'm keen to get an answer on workshops also..

By the way, how are you going about doing the compliance thing? (ie:side intrusion bars, fuels filler neck etc)

[Campster123]

I'm going through imports101 actually. So they basically do a to ur door service. Organise everything and other than pay them money (the hardest part!) you don't HAVE to do anything. I'm getting Danny to give me run downs on everything that is getting down, how they go about it, who they go through, etc etc so next time (cmon, you all know there'll be one ) I can do it myself, or at least the majority anyway).

So I guess my answer is I'll tell you how I (they) went about it when its done

i would go to jap-tech for performace, mods, engin conversions and stuff, tilbrooks for dyno tuning and stuff

Boostworx is also good.

Shaun tunes the better known hipo street Skylines getting around Adelaide.

Not to mention he's pulled ~280rwkw out of a stock RB25DET & an internal gate turbo, it appears to be holding together perfectly fine.

[P1E]

What better known Skylines has Shaun tuned?

I'd recommend Mark Tilbrook from personal experience.

[Maxx]

What better known Skylines has Shaun tuned?

I'd recommend Mark Tilbrook from personal experience.

he tuned one of our member "whatisname"'s car, which has 299.1rwkw?

i go to boostworx as well, it's good to go to a workshop that the owner has loads of exp. and he is the only one do all the job.

[Cubes]

Looks like Mark Tilbrook uses Tim Possingham to tune these days.

Tim is a good tuner. He tunes safe.

If Tim is tuning the car I don't have an issue. If its some other hack then I wouldn't get my car tuned at Tilbrooks.

Back to boostworx.

Freebaggin (~280kw on stock motor) & whatsisname 299.1rwkw.

Darrens R32 RB30DET (that will be making upwards of 350rwkw soon) and my RB30DET (~300rwkw) will also be tuned there once it is run in.

It really depends where you live..

Down southish - Boostworx.

Up North - Tilbrooks (Providing its Tim that does the tune)

[Ronin]

I would go for boostworx aswell, ive had my car tuned there and shaun did a good job for cheap, unlike tilbrooks who will want your kidneys as payment. A friend of mine used to work for donnan back in the day and he has told me a few horror stories.

[whatsisname]

Always a topic that generates much debate (mostly heated!)

I know both Tim (Tilbrooks main tuner) and Shaun (Boost worX) personally. Both are excellent blokes and both have a wealth of performance tuning knowledge. I would recommend either of them for tuning work.

For all round tuning 'and' performance work I would recommend Shaun without hesitation. I have been taking my car to Boost worX for some time now. Before that I used RPM (once owned by Tim and later managed by Shaun!). As I know Shaun reasonably well he always looks after me. I have never used Tilbrook Auto and Dyno but I do know and have chatted to Mark on many occasions. He is a decent bloke.

[Turbz_13]

i kno tilbrooks has experience with skylines. he dyno'd my mates et and got 100fwkw outta it runnin on 15psi. but he had a fairl bad fuel dump. tilbrooks was recommended to my mate by the mechanic at jap-tech

I thought RPM were dodgy?

When I go to get my Power FC installed and tuned in the next couple of months (after my bodykit is fitted and painted), I might grab a quote from Boost Worx instead of going straight to Tilbrooks.

[cell]

Boostworx are the go.

[Cubes]

RPM are under new management.

I don't think they are dodgy.

I used to take my car there when Tim owned it a couple of years ago.

Since then up until this RB30DET I haven't really done any mods (Rb30det's are damn expensive)

[TIMMMAYYY]

How come very few get their cars tuned my Martin D? I thought he was a good tuner???

[Nightcrawler]

I'll be taking mine to Martin when I get a Power FC.

Thought thought he farted but he shat himself.
