i have used mark for a long time now and they are the only ones that touch my car he is also a very good friend of mine there is always good cars there but even if there isnt that doesnt mean that the work isnt good yes he does all the work on christians car but mostly thats after hours and sometime he is closed for races but not often he's in america right now but the shop is open martin is tuning and a guy named ben does all the other work

Yeh i heard over the last few days that they have been tuning on an uncalibrated dyno, i alos heard about unsatisfied staff. Just wanted to know if its hearsay or fact.

I suppose its all irrelevant if boostworx are cheaper and do better work.

Well thier decent engine builder left there to go to JMS, and now he's on the move again i think to Wheelworx!!

All i know is it seems you need to know them or know someone that knows them!!

BOOSTWORX FTW!!

word around says that tillbrooks has a bad rep for blowing cars up on the dyno. i was going to take mine there last time for a tune and i had at least half a dozen people tell me not to.

whats peoples thoughts on morpowa?

ive heard good things about tilbrooks and morpowa, but havnt heard any bad about morpowa yet i dont think, but yeh heard a few things about tillbrooks but u can never be sure whats just bs. depends where u live really, if u live north of the city morpowa is probably easier for u, if u live south of the city boostworx is probably the go.

My car is tuned by Morpowa. Simon seems good, I've got a problem with a knock sensor at the moment and he didn't hesitate to run it up on the dyno and then on the street to check it out FREE OF CHARGE. He said that i had paid for a tune and it's gotta be right. Turns out the tune was right but the knock sensor was/is faulty.

I'm happy :P

Morpowa are good & they have more workers so will generally get things done quicker (although not always for the better) but, comes at a higher $$rate. Since swapping over 16mths ago & converting several mates to BoostWorx we've found Shaun a lot more proficient with the tuning side of things (ECU's, EBC & other electronics) than Simon/ Andrew. Only prob with BW is they should be up more North way considering Troy & Shaun live up this way :).

I can recommend morpowa also. Boostworx are my first choice for tuning especially and I'll hopefully be booking my car in there soon for a 100,000km service.

However, being out north I have been to morpowa several times, mainly just for regular servicing - since they have an auto trans specialist right next door and you can book into morpowa for a service and get the auto trans serviced at the same time and morpowa handle the whole lot so its just one transaction and your car is off the road for just one day. Their prices are quite good and I've been happy with their work.

i have just my car done by tilbrooks and they did an awesome job on the car....its gone a lot smoother then before....so my experience with tilbrooks has been a good one and mark the owner does look after you well....

as for morpowa my mate used to get his car serviced there and his car was just a pain to drive.....and they never figured the problem out so he took it to tilbrooks and they sorted it all out for him and now that thing boots.....

boostworx never been there as it is way down south and bit too fair for me.....but i have heard of a lot of good things about them and will get my ecu tuned down there as they are apparently the best in tunning...

AAA+++ for Boostworx Great Blokes & Awesome Tunning,

First time i ever got my car tunned i booked in it at TillBrooks, when i turned up the guy i wont mention any names wasnt even there and they didnt know anything about the tune, plus they said it was going to cost me $600 for a tune & i would have to wait till the afternoon and it was 8am???

So i went straight off to Boostworx and was really impressed with there service :(, great price 1/4 of that and car went great!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
