"ROB WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL WITH NO HASSLES!"
We are now known worldwide for our quality and performance
RIPS opened when I built my first Skyline as a road race car. This was a hobby of mine that turned into a career when a guy came along and purchased it. About 20 Skylines later we really took off.
Cars from the UK and Canada have been sent in containers for us to tune/upgrade/restore and customers have saved big money while getting comparable, if not better results than our competitors can provide.
Robbie Ward Nissan Skyline Engine Specialist
RIPS recently had the worlds quickest AWD of any type, the world's quickest GTR of any type, we were the first in the world to run a 6 with a RB and still have NZ’s, Canada’s and Europe’s quickest street Skylines, NZ’s quickest Japanese street car overall, NZs quickest Pro Import on petrol and the world's quickest 240Z and Stagea. We are also supply engines/transmissions and other components to many other record breaking cars all around the world.

What can I say ?? I trusted a man at the other side of the world with my money and car and he's not let me down once, I can't think of things good enough to say about Rob and his company. THE BEST !!!I feel like I've gained a good mate now, not just a tuner who's interested in how much they can get out of you!!! See you in the new year Rob I'm coming over to buy you a pint.
Lee, R33 GTR, United Kingdom
I would just like to say that out of all the tuners I have ever ever done business with I would use Rob at RIPS any day of the week even if he is thousands of miles away.Customer service is second to none and the personal touch and extra lengths they will go to have a happy customer and have things just right puts a lot of other companies to shame.
