Anyone know anything about Turbo Tune on South road?

And none of this "friend of a friend" crap please!

had a stagea dyno day there a year ago.

was run by 2 lads my age, tuners dad runs Adelaide Turbo Services and uncle runs Southern hitech dyno.

or vice-versa. Not sure if ownership has changed since. havent got any comments as I havent had work done there before.

news my end, signing a house sale contract this afternoon.

not sure what to do with the stagea, rebuild bottom end and tidy up paint (rust under mirrors, flaking pain around rear wheel arches), or trade in on something like a VE SV6 commodore.......

Lesson learnt I will take a spare service fuse next time :P

I work in sub stations so I cant turn them off (even tho it does happen :whistling: )

I looked at the screwdriver today in the light and it only had a tiny little splat. Those HRC fuses are quick

My car has been on the dyno at Turbo Tune, but only because an unnamed workshop DROVE my car to Turbo Tune for a dyno run to diagnose a problem.

How'd it go there?

Got my 33 booked in for a tune there, just wanna make sure they're decent!

How are they tuning it? What ECU?

My car has been tuned there a number of times but it was Jeff (TSL) that was doing the tuning and just using their dyno.

On a side note, Does anyone on here own a R34 Sedan plate number GTT-034

I had my old 32 there a few times when Dave keen was running it and all was good. His son Michael now runs it but I haven't been there while this has been the case. They have a 4wd dyno tho.

I can certainly vouch for John Keens(brother/uncle) tunes at Southern Hi tech dyno.

Ahhh, he's a good boy our Brad, stop picking on him :P

By the way Jet, are you coming up to Kadina Show for the day (Sun 12th June).............it's Ford country out there and if you were to put the "Snot Mobile" up against an Audi R8 (or similar), you'd bring home the bacon by a landslide :rofl2:

LOL, I may even put the Taxi amongst the Skylines to give them a chance of winning "Best Club Display" :nyaanyaa:.............there's some serious ferals in them neck of the woods....bit like a visit to Alberton (God's own country - The Promised Land) :cheers:

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
