building cars / running businesses are separate things

there are a couple of bad stories about ICE going around, but this thread isn't a place to discuss this.

My main complaint about ice are that they are not very professional. They just say "the car will be done when it's done, and we'll call you". If you go to Amberleys or Rank Rotary (though they don't tune power fc) or race pace. They are much more professional and organised (from experiences with myself and friends), and will say "pick it up on ... and it'll be done"

Rank Rotary and Amberley are more a shop like a car dealer where you drop off your car and pick it up and everything is done as fast as possible. Half the time you dont know what was actually done and they are very stiff when it come to getting information off them if you are not paying $$ for it.

Ben tuned my old RB20DET Cefiro with PFC.

I had no probs with it, the knock reading rarely went over 30 on 30degree days!!

Also i have heard good stories of the new tuner from Chasers.

And there are plenty of bad stories of workshops. Most are chinese whispers, and 4,5,6th hand info.

But Racepace all the way for RB, SR tuning.

they are all performance workshops, I fail to see the difference, amberley and rank will charge top dollar, i'm not denying that, but they seem alot more professional, and I feel more confident leaving my car there.

If a mechanic/workshop won't give me information on what they did, I just won't pay them until they tell me!!!!!! :lol:

I wouldnt go calling someone that can build a 10 sec GTR with over 600rwkw  and similair Supra as amateurs. <_<

Really has nothing to do with it, I have seen that car in the flesh. At the end of the day anyone with the time and money can build such a car. Give Ben the same car, same parts and you would have most likely seen an even better car. I didn’t mean to say ICE are amateurs, they have been tuning imports for quite a few years now. When compared to RacePace Motorsport they look like amateurs in my opinion.

i never thought i'd see the day you'd raise a while flag :D

just had enough "workshop this" "workshop that"

when 99% of those are just bullsh|t stories to begin with, or a minor incident blown out of proportion.

Times change, people change... and so do business's

that is all

What are you talking about? If you like ICE and are offended with what I have said, sorry but get over it please … it’s an opinion.

I aint offended mate. :D

Just hope ur opinion is not going off 4th and 5th hand information as it tends to happen off forums.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
