i dont trust any workshop with my car no matter how recognised they are, refer to the dude who's s15 got written off when he went in for a service. they also charge an arm and a leg to tune your ecu which takes maybe an hr. pfft

Bl4cK32 - I agree and I never would have taken my car there either. But John is working there now because his brother owns the joint so I'd only take it there to see him - definitely no one else!!! Thats why I said "make sure you ask for him though!!" :D

Hippy - I got into Tilbrooks with no trouble. Why such a long wait?? I personally didn't even think they were that good, but just my 2c!

Turbo Tune would be my pick also,

John Keen has leagues of experience on any of the other tuners mentioned above.

-He has built and tuned V8 super cars for the last ten 10 years.

-He will happily provide warrenty on the Cars he Dyno tunes!!( I don't know a single other tuner who will back up there work like that)

-The Dyno he uses is the newest and most accuate hands down in Adelaide(2WD + 4WD) It has sperate cell correction which means that no matter the temp or realative humidity you will always get the same power reading.

Yes other tuners might get more power from your car however how long it will last is another story, and when it does go bang.....do you think they will say" no prob, it's under warrenty"

John is really good and he'll know your car's limits - he won't tune it so stupidly that it blows up or anything like that.

He tunes my b/f's cars and he got an extra 27kw out of one just by tuning it. He said it had heaps more potential but he said he didn't want to go stupid or it would just be too impractical. He is really smart and knows his stuff.

I was at Turbo Tune one night when he was tuning a 200sx my b/f's bro was driving at the Clipsal 500. Gained stacks of power, from bout 160 to 180 something kw just by tuning and dyno running it once.

Steve: Martin left Tilbrooks cos he didnt get along with the new guy from subzero. They had an arguement over John Munros drag car ( the sub zero guy said that munros car needed a microtech ecu whereas martin believes the apexi power fc is fine) anyway he got pissed off and left.... Thats wat i was told, but Martin, however im sure John would know the full story.

Hmm im considering seeing Turbo tune.... So if they up my boost and something goes wrong, they will look after me? Sounds too good to be true.

    • Damn, as someone who just glued the damn things in (very slightly askew but better) I wish I saw this, or someone made this. Would be worth linking this to Boosted International. They're always looking for product ideas and this is something they would likely make.
    • You know what, I'll double or nothing. Save your money, buy a V8 Manual Mustang in 2 years and have a more fun street car with better support and all that. I often tell people "if I could do it all again, I wouldn't". Sell your R34 GTT to someone, spend the 20k in difference between that and a 2018 Gen2 V8 Manual Mustang. I'll bet you will have the $ in your pocket by the time you spend the ~20K differential on mods and get them installed. Just planting this seed for future regrets. Blah blah, wisdom of people who would do it differently who are at the end of the road you are just starting on, etc. Car modding is often death by a thousand cuts as you wait to afford the next big mod. Imagine a 2 door Skyline with a 330KW N/A V8 Revving to 7500rpm like the RB25, with 315's all round.
    • Yes I'm going through a similar thing with my R33 with rust in seams due to dried out seam sealer cracking. After much research I settled on Penetrol. Read what it does and its done a bloody fantastic job for me. Pressure pack comes with a thin tube to get into hard to reach places.
    • If someone walked up to me and offered me an amount that I can't refuse, please take it away, I'll throw in half my tools, the boxes of brand new OEM spares, anything in the house I can find that's Skyline related.  Want the lot gone.   (don't mod your car, you'll regret it)
