Advan Performance in Silverwater built my car from the ground up and i will never trust my car with anyone else. Everyone has their preferences on workshops so your best to go and chat to a few of them and go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

Advan Perfromance - 9647 1326 (open Saturdays too)

Taken from other post....

George at DB4s - 0298793322.

27 College St

Gladesville

They have been great to me since I got my car. Did a full service with them when I 1st got the car. (approx 1.5g and about 6hrs of work, including timming belth change and all oils and fluids changed)

Tell George Victor sent ya

Powerplays are good too, but whenever I go there they are always busy, seems like Alistair needs a new mechanic or something, as he seems to be doing all the jobs there.

BD4s yea do lots of skylines and other nissans, they are HKS distributors in australia

The mechanic there (Yoshi) is japanese and knows lots about jap cars.. Nathan is good also.

BD4s charge $88/hr for any fixes... And George is a reasonable guy.

I live near UNSW, and i go there for all my mechnical needs, its car but yea i like em

I'd probably also need some advice in regards to this -  

I need to get installed - cams, gears, injectors, fuel pump, sump baffle kit, maybe a metal head gasket, and the clutch.

Where can I get this done, where it wont cost the world ?

Your engine needs to be removed for the work you have mentioned so its not going to be cheap either way.

Do you have turbos to fit also?

Thanks beer baron, i'll have to take a look at them, might drop in on sat and have a chat with Eli and find out prices..

yeah, speak to Eli, tell him I (Richard) sent you. 9966 9930, better ring first if you are going down on a saturday, not sure if he works weekends :)

MSRB26 makes a good point. over the years I've been to quite a few different shops to have various things done. It really comes down to what you think of the place, and how well you think you are being treated. I've been to:

Japp Sport (Sydney Compliance Centre)

Hills Motorsport

Rice Engineering

G&F

Polmar Motors

Unique Autosports (tuning only)

HITMAN (tuning aswell)

Grey Imports

Top of my list would be Rice Engineering (as a good friend of mine owns that business) and they have done great stuff for me over the years. He also prepares a 911GT3 race car for production sports cars. but their workshop is temporarily closed.

Grey Imports have been excellent and I've taken my GTR there and my Soarer there too.

Polmar motors is run by Eli who is a really nice guy and very, very smart. though they are not skyline specialists by any means.

I was very happy with the tuning work done at UAS and HITMAN but never had any work done at UAS or hitman so I can't really comment on that side of their business.

don't really have anything to ad about the others.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
