Hi Guys i am a new member and hopefully picking up a RB320 next friday.
I was wondering where the best place to go for servicing and maintenance bearing in mind i am based in North London. Also any advice for mappers ? i previously had a GTR and Litchfield were the only place to go ! This car i am collecting has recently had a forged engine build but running standard 320 map so would like to get it remapped and running a little stronger

Yes i know not exactly what i had in mind but truthfully need to be sensible had the GTR 7 months and drove her 2000 miles which is a very extravagant toy for such little use. I did not actively look to sell it just had someone that was interested and got a fair price so the car went . I have been debating what to do next as i dont need anything other than a little run around . Run a family 4x4 so my car is only for work and back and i cycle most days ! I have always had performance cars and just can't do a mundane golf or fiat 500 etc so thought a jap rally car would offer good bang for buck and i could enjoy the addictive turbo delivery

+1 one of the best in the business, take a look at jura's thread in projects section and you will see what he can do.

As fo mappers JGM and Paul at ZEN are the two I would use, but there are other very good mappers.
