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.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
