dude, do a search in NSW section for tuners..

theres heaps of threads, it will be more informative to you than people repeating themselves

yeah, i searched and read the threads...

i especially liked the thread about the south coast tuners wanted and how he was told to goto canberra..

i know how to do a search, if i cant find the information i need i will ask the question

if you search you might get a thread from 200yrs ago saying that X tuner is good when latley he's been blowing motors (for example), what if someone has found someone new? i think its ok if a thread comes up every now and then unless we make a sticky about tuners.

Thanks duncan..

those are comments which are useful to myself and other members in the southern sydney area... none of this go and search crap

i was just trying to help, i even did the search for you. am i suppose to read your mind and know you already did a search?

no need to cry like a bitch.

Ken from Incar Motorsports Wetherill Park (that's south isn't it? or is that more west?) is pretty good. Don't know how busy he is at the moment though cause he just opened up a new car yard.

9609 1122 (speak to Ken, tell him you spoke to wil with the white skyline).

Good thing about Ken is he takes his time. I've never felt rushed. The only time I did was when I wanted him to hurry up so I could drive the f'ing thing. LOL

i personally wouldnt take it to greg to tune a fully rebuilt engine.

greg is a top bloke but his facilities are a bit outdated. [sorry greg]

if you want the best possible tune for your car, go see Jim @ CRD at silverwater.

the tune is the most important part of the running of the car, besides the engine itself. as NXTIME said, dont limit yourself. a good tune and a bad tune is the difference between a blown engine and a perfectly running one.

do yourslef a favour and go to CRD

ive got a tuner that is really really good with RB motors i use and highly reccomend jim ghelis 02 9557 4000 at TUNEHOUSE performance center in chalder st marrickville. really nice clean facility and highly skilled staff. i use these guys and my car comes out with more power evrytime i use them. if you go there tell them nick with the maroon 33 told you about the place.

greg must be half decent as he fairly blew past me on the straight at eastern creek in his white GTR the last time we were out there! and I think had fastest time of the day for that leg of the state supersprint champs.

i have my reasons why i would not get him to tune my car. mechanical work and installation all good but tuning id rather go elsewhere.

greg drives like a maniac and has great skill and has competed many times in such events, the r32 gtr was also very close to stock, so not much need to tune if any at all.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
