I popped down to Chasers Tuning out near Nrth Melbourne and gees was there some hot cars there!!

I got some quotes for front mount piping ($800 fitted) and the owner Benny who is the nicest bloke I have met in a long time and he had a chat to me for over an hour.

He showed me this beautiful red twin turbo Supra that had just come in and told me the owner had paid 50k for the engine to be worked over to milk out a min 680hp at the rear treads.

There was a drift R32 being prepped there which was getting a worked RB25DET installed and a drift 180sx that he told me had a cool 56k in modifications.

He also told me a new project that he was about to start work on for an R34 GTR to break the skyline land speed record. He said this car would smash the dyno record for a GTR.

The other more alarming aspect of my visit was when Benny was looking at my car and said "Hey this is Matty Pyman's old R32, last time I saw this it had a shitload of electrical issues and needed a new engine loom"

Anyway I'm hoping these problems were fixed!!

Does anyone know the symptoms to tell if your loom is f*cked!

The moral to this post is that if you want a professional highly enthusistic team to work on your car head down to Chasers! I have been to heaps of performance places over the years and most of them are really tight about letting you into the shop. Benny will talk your ear off for hours and get as excited as a convict in a brothel. I have been told he used to test drive F1 cars and Nascars in Japan and has performance cars flowing through his blood

Benny top bloke and good friend of mine, project GTR 34 has been in the works for ages there just waiting for some parts, that drift 180 is benny's personal car runs a 3037s and MoTeC M4 ECU.

Woulnd trust anyone else, my bro has spent in excess of 20k with benny and all quailty stuff.

yep, chasers do all the work on my car and Ive never had any issues with it...Benny is da man

wait till the autosalon in late April....that 34 GTR will thoroughly smash the current outright power record

that white 180 he showed you is also in for quite a transformation...its getting a widebody kit and a new pink ***** pearl paintjob

2 thumbs up for Chasers ;)

man hes had that 180 for yonks... i remember when it was around his house and still basically stock haha its come along way.

yeah hes an awesome bloke... thats where i'll be getting all my tuning done once i get the next car... tuned for dori.

oh yeah sameer next time u speak to him can u ask (very long shot) if he still has the soarer battery holderer downerer... never bothered to ask him about cause i was never going for a roadie ;)

glad to hear you had a nice dealing....but anyone can talk the talk...I wouldnt be tooting his horn for him yet.....someone may end up with egg on there face....Coz i heard it 1 million times before from many people about many places

maybe its landspeed in australia not the world? ;)

i dont see anything wrong with being confident... im sure they'll definately give it a bloody good go.

Good luck to them.

he said, he said and he said....lol i know Benny is a nice bloke to talk to but we need provents. After all seeing is beliving. Good luck.

Ive seen the preliminary work being done on the car and the major work begins in the next few weeks.....but you are right seeing is believing, so lets stop talking shit and see what happens at autsalon in late april ;)

When i was getting my eyelids made from local bodykit/workshop (wont mention name) they showed me AutoCAD plans for their R34 drag ute they were planning to build with was gonna have a 1000hp+ RB31TT that was gonna break all GTR power records and was gonna run a 8 second 1/4 time.

The ute tray was also gonna have a spa incorporated into it and they were gonna have girls in bikini's in the spa when it made its debut at Auto Salon April last year.

This all sounded very nice but............. hands up all the people who saw this at MAS04 or heard about a 8 sec run by anyone other than mario in Aus?????

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
