Guy's, About to embark on a rebuild and looking for an Honest/good engine rebuilder. Have any of you guy's heard of S+L Performance. The Guy works out of an Ampol Petrol Station at Brownsplains. Seen plenty of good lookin cars at his shop Vl's and Skylines. I told him I had about 10 g's to spend and he told me for that he could build me a 10 second engine drive in and drive out (Head work, new forged pistons, everything crack and pressure tested, New turbo, Intercooler, Stainless exhaust etc). Also said he has a custom cam that is his own specs etc. I thought ok that sounds alright. But when i asked him about the plenum he said just using the stocko. I also asked about the auto and he said "Their strong as and all it needs is a shift kit for an extra 450 dollars" which I thought MMMMM. I dont have ten grand to spend and in a month or so if it goes bang rebuild the F#$%r again. I have heard bad things about Belowzero . The brock shop is apparently over priced as well as Bob Romano . I think it is APC or JPC at Underwood is apparenlty good but take a fair while due to workload. Anyone that you guy's recommend. I want to drop in the engine for the rebuild and after the panel work drop the car in for it to be fitted. Any suggestions would be good. My dad has thought of rebuilding it for me but has never worked on a RB30. Cheers Imtorqing Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

every shop u named sucks especially B.R

prosport developments 3277 3114 he built mine, he knows what he's doin, but have an idea of what you want when you go to him. And never tell them you have xxx dollars to spend, cause they will spend it all, whether or not you needed too!

I agree with Andy, the aforementioned trendy 'performance shops' are a f ucking ripoff, more suited to import drivers with 2 much money, who drink latte's at park road, wear leather jackets, have craig david style beards and talk about overhead tailshafts and modified custom dipsticks. Myself and Andy are getting ours done by prosport, when... i couldnt tell you, probably 2006.

Scoota did you call BG motorsport?

i hear that guy's a wanker anyway....

5hit scooty, you're getting your engine rebuilt AGAIN? just learn how to do it yourself man, it'll be cheaper. oh and get a david craig style beard

hahahah

i dont know what you guys think of them but jack bros built my bottom end and alex cowie did my head work,got most of my parts from horsepower in a box

Hey I saw your head at Alex's. It looked great and he said it was going into a VL and I thought it may have been yours. He does an awesome job. I have never heard anything bad about Jack Bros either except the price- you get what you pay for but!

Stocky, mine hasnt been rebuilt yet. Bought the car with stock engine 3 years ago, it ate **** 6 months ago. Cars been sitting in the garage, i'm a poorbi! As for the Craig David beard, I've gotta get through puberty before I can grow facial hair haha

hahahahaha

lol, nice. i always thought that thing was rebuilt with hektik forged turbos but must have been thinking about another car. marko time to go back to your 1st year apprenticeship and vacuum the boss's office for 5 dollars an hour so you can afford dialup internet and 2 minute noodles.

[QUOTE=LukeVL]Hey I saw your head at Alex's. LukeVL ya the head turned out well and so did the bottom end the engine itself its starting to look to make some decentish power but just some other bad luck turn up lately other than engine problems so i have not made it back to the dyno for the big tune but hopefully soon

maxpsi : your block wasn't being rebuilt at mendhams was it? i saw 2x RB30's, an RB25 and an RB26 block sitting there ready to go when i dropped mine off.

yes you do get what you pay for. STOCKY:yeah like i said mate like you learned to build engines pfft "nice bores" seen some of your rebuild mate and i would expect more from a person being paid $5 sweeping floors i tell ya. lol your a funny bugger either way.
