  1. Well it should run ok on the stock ECU for now so urgency won't be too much issue, however still confused as to why a lot of tuners don't want to tune the emanage, some specifics would be nice but that's not the sort of think I've been able to find after a lot of searching. I'm sure the tuners I've contacted will give me the options though. Having someone familiar with the particular engine is a big head start in its own. Seems not a lot of people get work done to 1uz's in WA.
  2. It's understandable vspec, just wanted current member reviews as I've known some workshops may change staff and quality of work can change abruptly. Plus I've made errors in judgement when choosing shops for random stuff before. This info has been handy. Also http://www.wtfauto.com.au/ is the only contact details I have for them atm. I'll let ya know the details of the guy doing my cams once it's done, although he specialises in hilux conversions and seems to know a fair amount about the 1uzfe. Can't vouch for his workmanship until I get my car back.
  3. I love the sound of the Audi S5 v8, would have to say the 1uzfe has a similar noise. Allstar, last I heard they don't like tuning the piggyback I want, but that being said I can't choose the computer until I find the right tuner. And I read somewhere hyperdrive also don't like them (Emanage Ulti)
  4. See if I hadn't have asked I wouldn't have a clue who Tristan is either, because it wasn't in the list :-) Pepperoni pizza is the bomb. Guess I just gotta hope to catch the bad experience replies before they get deleted heh. Im going to have a chat to Tristan to see what he thinks. Thanks guys. Trying to avoid being a Guinea pig as a lot of tuners I've come across haven't tried to tune a 1uzfe "But would love to try to"
  5. WTFauto seems to be a goer, anyone else had any experiences with Tristan? (OF the car type!)
  6. Thanks to those with useful info, unfortunately it looks like I fed the trolls by accident. My bad. (edit:) Before someone decides to chime in with derogative remarks, wether it's because they're bored or because I'm not a skyline owner, I'd like to mention that workshop list was posted in 2007. And while it's a handy list I was chasing more recent information and I find asking in a forum section full of Western Australian drivers who (mostly) drive performance cars to be rather efficient, compared to ringing up every place in the directory and have them all pursuade me that they are a great workshop. Search results bring up plenty of threads of people talking about which tuner they might use, but I seem to be unable to find any actual "results". I like efficiency. Lamb chops are good also.
  7. Ah thanks, really hoping to find someone that can do the emanage ultimate though, want to keep stock knock sensor protection and auto control for now. I've ready bunch about people wanting to use the emanage ultimate but they seem to vanish before posting any results. :-| I don't think the haltech would have any ignition control to raise the limiter
  8. No not as of yet, trying to gather what info I can and so far have only managed to find that 1 place (xpeed) with the emanage listed. Going to keep looking around though, I did hear that xspeed backbench jobs a bit. My car has already been in the workshop for 9 weeks just for cams, and still no idea how much longer. I'm trying to steer clear of old info though as things change quickly in the industry it seems, hence the new thread.
  9. Yes I have used the search function and it seems to give me a lot of older information. Any recent experiences people have had with tuners in perth? I'm hoping to get an emanage ultimate thrown on my 1uzfe to deal with the cams and exhaust, seems like xspeed is almost the only option here. Not sure if they'd even try to tune a 1uz. I've had mixed results about other tuners, mostly that they don't like to tune the emanage, although I need a piggy back that can raise the limiter to suit the cams and springs, and so far I haven't seen any other piggy backs with that option. Any info greatly appreciated.
  10. Take the tyres off with a tyre wrench, slip the other ones over the rims. Fill tyres with flamable spray and light said spray from a reasonable distance. All done
  11. The guy in the AE86 has got skillz
  12. Yeah I do need new tyres, the lack of LSD makes it unpredictable on top of the weight, still fun though
  13. This is why everyone needs to get out on the skidpan so they know what to do when it rains. On another note, 1800kg Luxo in the rain is hairy
  14. I'll be in the vigilante cruise for a fee :-) He won't be stealing anymore cars after I'm done with im
  15. I am thinking of putting on my 16" Centrelines that were on my ED Xr6.... It will be bogan/Vip? lol
  16. They're rolled already, wheels are +24 offset, tight squeeze
  17. Only $50, sweet. Next issue is my wheel fitment lol.. have to baby it around corners
  18. Since I got my exhaust done, just about every young driver I cruise past does the "I'm faster than you" fly by. I guess a rumbly exhaust note has some sort of psychological effect on people. They're usually still stuck at the next set of lights by the time I get there, and I've had enough time to chalk up my pimp hand.
  19. Don't have a helmet
  20. R30 skylines are pretty good. And from experience, KE55 corolla will rock your socks off for reliability and running costs. I couldn't kill my ex's KE55
  21. Sorry to hear about the Marriage, my condolences.
  22. Ring the same station every day, Eventually you may bug them enough for them to get it sorted so you stop ringing. Either that or drive around in a full set of grid iron gear and keep a wheel brace handy. Most people will think you're crazy and leave you alone.
