My friend took his car to his car to a motorsport company in tralee co kerry not saying which for legal reasons but they changed price of engine rebuild. and just this week fitted second hand coil packs and hks plugs (10euro dearer than others around) which he never asked for it was just supposed to be remapped. but what really got to him was when he came to collect the car after hearing other bad reports the nismo front splitter was missing and there were scratches on the bumper. the swapped his bosch battery for a cheap 1 and said his was dead. Plus a few miles on clock even tho they never got around to mappind it

Ouch sounds nasty... Sorry to hear about that...

Rossy · 7th March 2008, 09:12 PM

Jesus that sounds like a joke, I hope your buddys no fool and is gona approach them about what the hell they were up to, fair enough if they had to fit new parts to get the best map for the car but surely ur buddy would have realised there would ave been a bit of this involved, after all hes payin them to tune the car, and if the parts are crap you cant expect them to work miricles But the amout of extra expense should have been desribed before hand. I know the company even though ive had no personal experience wit um, id like to know how ye get on wit um. Ive drove up to track day in wicklow excellent service and he really knows wot he,s on about, hes straight to the point, no s**t.Top man

Hello Mar4ix; I live in Dublin and I have had my fair share of a,,holes fcuk around with my car and my brothers car ,,,well the best place to try is car tork clane ,phone 045-893718 or045-982427,they will not fcuk you around,and a more genuine bloke you couldn,t meet,10 out of 10,if you need more info,like a run through of service invoices to give you some idea of prices, p .m me,this chap will not do some silly mods just to take your money,if it,s not going to inprove your car he will tell you.

Totally agree with iano c. Ive had the pleasure of dealing with Car-tork and the guys there are A1. The head mechanic/owner Ian, really knows his stuff and afaik, he used to be an ex-mechanic with Nissan having worked on Skylines for years.

streetlethal · 18th March 2008, 12:17 AM

ok i deal with both trackday performance in wexford and also jr performance who with any major engine work or rebuild will give a one year guarantee with the engine not many guys offering that id expect cant fault any work hes done for me no bs off him about ridicilous power outputs from simple mods

r34gtrIreland · 25th March 2008, 02:59 PM

I've just joined Gtroc and read this message the guy in tralee has my r34 gtr for the last month and i have heard nothing from him and cant get him on the phone he is to do a total rebuild for over 600bhp this doesnt sound good i think i'll be pulling the plug

redtopaholic · 23rd October 2008, 08:29 PM

well the buddie finally got around to finishin mods to his gtr. trackday performance mapped it and he said their service was 100% compaired to the PREDATORS

in tralee ( not naming anyone for legal reasons

) who had the timing out by 50degres and had the cheek to say he needed new coil packs when the ones in it were A1 this man P.H. is only out to make money and has no interest and a bad reputation all over the country. P.s WANTED jun style open grill and nismo 400r style wheels 17" the 275/18 too big for west cork back roads

I'd get down there and make a personal visit to see how the progress is, it's makes a big big difference to how you are treated if someone knows you'll show up on the doorstep

r34gtrIreland · 24th October 2008, 01:50 PM

Ive been down a few times the engine is almost complete, there is also alot of other work being done but nothing major just extras. but still no car after 9 months its to long to be with out it
