They have in fact replaced 70% of there staff and are in new premises, and Xspeed have produced alot of top cars in there time, simply look at the number of covers on HPI and Hot4s etc. A number of shops were keen to get Ant on board when SST closed, and he wasn't the one that pulled the plug on the business.

The grand opening of Xspeed is going to be on the 26th of June, come down you may be surprised at how well run the place is:cheers:

BWHWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHhAHAHAHAHAHA

Hot 4's and HPI are true indicators of how good a work shop is.

Im not saying Ant is no good - not at all. Im just saying that before I recommend a shop - they have to be proven. And if they have turned over all their staff (which would be a great step in the right direction) now only time will tell how good they are. But as far as im concerned they have proven nothing yet.

Dan, where do you take your high performace car to?

I look forward to them proving you wrong;)

Paul

I have no performance car - only a 2002 320i BMW.

Where will I take my next car - NO FARKEN Idea. I have lost faith in all workshops recently. I don't trust any of them.

Dan

Now now Dan lets not be bad mouthing ppl. The rules are, if you cant say something nice u cant say anything at all. Thats why ppl always get reccomended but not badmouthed. Just gotta see who that info is coming from to make a judgement call. Of course I totally agree with what your saying though.

Personally i havent been to x speed in ages but they treated me pretty good 3 years ago.

Boostzor, I don't think dan was bad mouthing anyone. I, on the other hand, have many interesting things to say about this subject as I recently pointed out on antilag (and got subsquently banned). What was it you said teejay, that I wouldn't have the guts to speak my mind on sau? Well, guess what...

Why wouldn't you go where they have one of the best tuners and best engine builders?

Paul, one of the best - WHAT!? -

Hey Champ

Can u please explain to me what has happened to your motor....

PM if you want.

Daniel

IMACUL8, no problems dude. A full log of the events that took place will be on my web site soon enough. Lets see fcukers try to pull that down. It's a sad, sad tale, and watching people sing the praises of someone my grandmother could out-engine-build is even sadder.

dan_the_man, no problems :(

I saw your post on anti lag - and if they banned you for that - fark them.

They all speak their mind, and as soon as someone says something they don't agree with - they ban.

Its either free speech for all or for none - not for some and not for others.

Haha, good to see we have stirred up some emotions:D

Let's not compare Anti-lag with SAU, we all know the rules on SAU and the moderators enforce them evenly.

If anyone wants to ask about your personal opinion then having your own website is a great idea, or they can PM you.

Having said that I still stand by all the stuff I have said about Xspeed, and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone:cheers:

Dan, I've had alot of work done by Xspeed, especially early on when I was getting into cars. They have always been very professional and done great work:D When I moved house and closer to SST then they did the majority of my work, but I always recommended Xspeed to others. Now that they have Ant and Fabs both working there then they can provide a heap of extra services to Skyline owners, especially seeing as they will now have there own dyno.

Having said that I still stand by all the stuff I have said about Xspeed, and I'm happy to recommend them to anyone:cheers:

Fair enough. I should probably make clear that I've used Xspeed in the past and have found Hans to be an exceptionally helpful fella, so nothing against them as a company.:(

Too bad he ain't there anymore.

Werd.

"Hans"?? If u mean Hanson - he is still there... if you mean Jan - he's left... maybe Hans was their Swedish lovechild?? Or maybe you dont even know the names of the tuners your passing judgment on - which can be dangerous when ur playing with people's reputations.

XSpeed are damn fine in my opinion - and even better with the new workshop and crew on board - Im sure every workshop has the odd tale or two or unhappy customer - but Ive been going to Hanson for work for more than 2 years on 2 different cars and they've got my vote. Yet to have work done anywhere else, but since having the Stagea both Ken at Hyperdrive and Jeff at C-Red have also always had more than enough time to offer good advice and information... so I am sure I'll end up on their hoists as well at some stage... especially once the damn daughterboard group buy for the Neo6 works out and Hyperdrive can throw it in the Stag!

:P

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
