i just wanted to no how is good really good

Depends on your budget - ring around and see which tuner fits your needs.

Some are cheaper, some are more expensive - and often price can be reflective of the tune - NOT always however (before people get too crazy).

I've had Dr.Drift tune my car years ago when he first started out, no issue at all.

Racepace now does all my work being i have a RB26 and well, they go hand in hand like many other gtr/rb26 owners

Racepace is generally regarded as the best in Victoria for RBs.... just because that's what they specialise in, especially GTRs. Like Techsport for Evos.

When day in day out, all you're dealing with is RBs - you will have more connections, access to parts, and above all experience than anyone else. Just a pity they are in Bayswater though :D

anyone take there car to chasers? do people think there generally good?

The big advantage is that they are virtually in the middle of the City, 2 mins drive from the CBD. That was the main reason I got my GTR tuned there with bigger turbos, injectors etc. They also have an AWD dyno, and a decent tuner (Paul) of Motec fame. Their prices are also very reasonable. I am quite happy with my tune.

Keep in mind though that they tune everything, so not exactly a Skyline specialist. A lot of skyline parts need to be ordered as they can't possible keep everything for all the cars they tune in stock, so you will spend time waiting around for the parts to arrive. eg., took 3 months to get the parts I need... still waiting on some. And as with most workshops - overestimate how much time they will take to tune your car. At least double the amount of time they tell you.

Basically, comparing Chasers and Racepace... think of it like you're a Japanese Samurai who needs a sword. You can go to downtown Kyoto to King of Swords or whatever its called, and get a serviceable katana. But they also sell butcher's cleavers and cooking knives. If you have the ryo to spend and the time to walk, take a trip into the mountains to the sword guru. He does not want to be widely known, he doesn't have flyers in the middle of town, and he lives in a very remote and dangerous place. His location and knowledge of the magic of the swords he forges - legends, national treasures even, are only passed through the hushed whispers of the faithful. He uses mystical techniques that no-one else knows, and all the swords he makes are the sharpest in the business.

yeah righteo :) , wasn't really necessary to write a full page of mumble jumble about a swordsman but anyway,

if i was in melb, i'd go to Trent @ status tuning, love the work that his done, esp that 1000+hp GTT.

    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
