Brisbane Tuning + Turbo

[Mark0]

Has anyone had anything to do with this company before ?

they are in wooloongabba

[Guest MRE]

Yep good blokes.

They know Skylines very well.

I had mine dyno there.

[Mark0]

sweet

i will ask em a few questions i think

see what there prices are like

They do good work IMHO but they do cost, and they like to do extra work which they expect you to pay for. Make it clear what you want them to do and that they must call you to agree on anything extra.

This is from experience with 4WD's not Skyline's.

I know the owner and his family very well and I can say that they do great work. I have recommended them to people before, and have had things done through them before, eg: clutch on old car, as well as fuel pump and tune there recently for my skyline.

John Whittaker, the owner, really knows his stuff, and has been involved with turbo's etc for a long time.

[Mark0]

thanks mate ..i will be talking to them this arvo

[002 NVS]

Tell them Scott told you to call... Might do u a better price..

[NIZ30]

What a coincidence.... Just got home from there just now.

They seemed pretty good. Although I effectively paid $270 for some new spark plugs and a couple power runs. My car was running fine (as far as it can with stock ecu) so nothing needed to be done to it.

Anyway my results were 239.4rwhp at 1.5 bar. John turned this down to a safer 1.2 bar with 220rwhp the result.

He has a real nice RB26DETT engined 280Z.

[Mark0]

hah cool

i prolly heard yah car on the dyno

i just called them and got a few prices .. they are a little $$

got a price on a high flow for my turb, a clutch, oil catch and timing belt and bearing on my car.

Will have to think about it

they are nice people though

[002 NVS]

Yea NIZ30 spark plugs for the RB20 are around the $120 mark for the platinum ones so that could be the reason why it was a little more expensive... I think a dyno tune is about $140 or something???

I havent actually asked for certain things so i can't talk say much about there prices. I thought they would give pretty good prices for high flowing turbo's etc...

That's a good result ont he dyno!!!

It's actually a 260Z, it was in fast fours a couple of months ago. His son has the same green colour 240z with a turbo motor in it as well. Has about 260bhp.

[Mark0]

he quoted me 2400 for a rebuild on my turbo that will flow 440hp

440 for oil breather, 1015 for clutch.

I got the iridon plugs in my car last week and 3 hours on the dyno at chip torque $430 all up

Car went from 197rwhp to 240rwhp but they put it back to 235 as it began to ping...still a little under what i want with the current setup bt its better than what it was.

[002 NVS]

You could probably get it all, or whichever one you wanted done at a better price if u went in there n spoke to him. The amoutn of people that call wanting prices they have to say a certain price for everything.

If your serious go down there n have a chat to him, he might be able to tell u a better option, n im sure he could work out a better price..

[Mark0]

yer will do when i get a chance

what have you done to your car ?? 002-NVS

[002 NVS]

I haven't done alot. I had big plans for it when i first bought it but..

It's got 3.5" trust system, and i put a double dump n 3" system to cat.

HKS filter

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller.

GFB blow off valve

Bigger fuel pump

Still got standard cooler..

I only got about 130rwkw on Brisbane Tuning dyno, but i have beaten 2 gts-t 32's both from down low n highway that have the same mods as me, but with a cooler and more boost.

Got wheels n stereo nst uff liek that as well, n should get GTR front bar for it in the next couple of weeks. But as off about Febuary it will be for sale...

How bout yours?

[Mark0]

i got Plenum

Front Mount

3.5" Zaust

Microtech ECU

just running a bleed valve atm 13psi

pushing 175rwkw

got bilstein suspension

i am wanting to get it to 250rwhp with the current setup..

got to get a dump pipe and oil catch asap ..

it goes ok...but still to slow

got 18" mags on it and 400r front bar

getting a stock bar back on it soon ..this ones to low

y u sellin ?

[002 NVS]

175rwkw isn't too bad. That's with stock turbo?

A dump should make a fair differance..

Well I had planned on going all out on it but I really would prefer something a little newer and something that is easier to make go fast...

So I am thinking a new shape turbo supra or Series 6/7 RX7..

Get something crazy before I get my first house...

[Mark0]

what have u got 33 or 32

a supra is a big heavy bad handling slug

stick with the skylines

rx7 aint bad...but its still no skyline

not that i am biased or anything

my turbo is the stock turbo

i hope the dump pipe gives me some power

[Guest MRE]

Mark0, Your 400 FB?

I am getting one but My car is stock height atm.

Going to drop it 1 1/2".

How low is yours?

[Mark0]

it is way lower than the stock bar leaves about 6-7cm clearance...way to low

where are you gettings yours from and how much ??
