Can anyone advise where the best place in Adelaide to get a Starion motor rebuilt? It's blowing smoke at idle and has some piston slap (i beleive).

My sons mate had a nissan motor rebuilt by... Hi-Tech 1111 South Rd Melrose Park..Crn South road and Daws rd... Was very happy with the outcome... Cost is always a big factor..

Where did you 2 guys come from? What starions do you have? Unfortunately I can't recommend any places in Adel yet :(

I can't really recommend any places either which is why I'm doing most of it myself
The only thing I'm having done by someone else, is the boring/honing and balancing. The Repco reconditioning centre are pretty good and priced, like $300 to hot tank the block, bore/hone cylinders and balance the rotating assembly :beer
Also depends if you just want a standard rebuild or if you want to use different pistons to run more boost safely ?

The question was to rebuild starion motor ...
My reply was that Hi Tech will rebuild motors ...
If your looking for hi performance.. I can only go on the work that was done on my sons mates Nissan ...
As far as I know HiTech built the motors and maintains the Coopers V8 ute race cars
