I can vouch for their work as the many mods to my car, including its turbo conversion, was performed by the boys at RYVE. Havent been let down once and like talor said, their own 11 sec r31 is proof that they know what they're doing and i trust them with my car anyday... they treat it as if its one of their own. Oh.. and no, im not on the pay roll if anyones thinking that Just havent been dissapointed by the quality and my car has exceeded my expectations many times. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how hard is it to slap a turbo on the side of an rb30!! all you need is some good tools, a brain, and be ready to get your hands dirty! F*ck paying someone to do it!! never heard of RYVE......

fair enough doing it yourself is a good way to go, as vlt-dreamer said it's free labor and you learn a lot... but there are some who want someone who has done it before to do it etc etc i on19sVL - they are situated in wantirna (melbourne, eastern suburbs) VLTXTC - if you want a price give them a call ([phone removed]), depending on what you want and what parts you can get off these forums you could save yourself a bit of money. Anyway there is enough info on here to do it yourself but if you want it done for you then RYVE would be the go, they are good guys and good on price

RYVE has done many turbo conversions and are well known on the R31 forums. It gives you another option compared to be bigger workshops in Melbourne. Heres a pic of the owners car. So far it has run 11.9 14 psi on street tyres. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The lines you are probably referring to are the ones from the factory air conditioning as i know this guy and its his everyday driver, he does not like comprimising luxury and cumfort for power but in this case he has air con, power steering electric windows and cruise control. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

as the others have said, theres lots of RYVE turbo conversions still going strong after years! ive never heard any complaints about their workmanship, and as the others have said the owners car does 11's on streets tyres with all the luxury modcon's like air-con still in place, no hack jobs there.
