Yes I have used the search function and it seems to give me a lot of older information.

Any recent experiences people have had with tuners in perth? I'm hoping to get an emanage ultimate thrown on my 1uzfe to deal with the cams and exhaust, seems like xspeed is almost the only option here. Not sure if they'd even try to tune a 1uz.

I've had mixed results about other tuners, mostly that they don't like to tune the emanage, although I need a piggy back that can raise the limiter to suit the cams and springs, and so far I haven't seen any other piggy backs with that option.

Any info greatly appreciated.

No not as of yet, trying to gather what info I can and so far have only managed to find that 1 place (xpeed) with the emanage listed. Going to keep looking around though, I did hear that xspeed backbench jobs a bit.

My car has already been in the workshop for 9 weeks just for cams, and still no idea how much longer.

I'm trying to steer clear of old info though as things change quickly in the industry it seems, hence the new thread.

Ah thanks, really hoping to find someone that can do the emanage ultimate though, want to keep stock knock sensor protection and auto control for now. I've ready bunch about people wanting to use the emanage ultimate but they seem to vanish before posting any results. :-|

I don't think the haltech would have any ignition control to raise the limiter

1. Copy list from the workshop sticky thead of the tuners in Perth.

2. Call said workshops and ask if they tune item X, if not do they recomend something that will do what you want.

3. Once you have found a workshop that seems good, ask for people experiance's with them and if they have given you an alternative unit, what experiance people have had with said unit.

4. Hand over the $$ and enjoy.

Thanks to those with useful info, unfortunately it looks like I fed the trolls by accident. My bad.

(edit:) Before someone decides to chime in with derogative remarks, wether it's because they're bored or because I'm not a skyline owner, I'd like to mention that workshop list was posted in 2007. And while it's a handy list I was chasing more recent information and I find asking in a forum section full of Western Australian drivers who (mostly) drive performance cars to be rather efficient, compared to ringing up every place in the directory and have them all pursuade me that they are a great workshop. Search results bring up plenty of threads of people talking about which tuner they might use, but I seem to be unable to find any actual "results".

I like efficiency.

Lamb chops are good also.

i agree to an extent, the biggest problem with asking on a forum though is your only allowed to say good things about workshops. if anyone posts a bad experience about a "reputable" workshop it simply gets deleted. so dont take everything you read as gospel

See if I hadn't have asked I wouldn't have a clue who Tristan is either, because it wasn't in the list :-) Pepperoni pizza is the bomb.

Guess I just gotta hope to catch the bad experience replies before they get deleted heh. Im going to have a chat to Tristan to see what he thinks. Thanks guys.

Trying to avoid being a Guinea pig as a lot of tuners I've come across haven't tried to tune a 1uzfe "But would love to try to"

I love the sound of the Audi S5 v8, would have to say the 1uzfe has a similar noise.

Allstar, last I heard they don't like tuning the piggyback I want, but that being said I can't choose the computer until I find the right tuner. And I read somewhere hyperdrive also don't like them (Emanage Ulti)

Whilst the Consolidated Workshop thread was originally posted in 2007, it gets constantly updated with new info as provided by members, as I believe it requests in the thread. The fact that no one has ever mentioned WTF Auto previously is the reason its not in the thread. So to avoid countless threads like this one, it was created so that people could contact the tuners themselves and make there own opinions as to who to use. Please feel free to PM me details (in the correct format) of WTF Auto and I'll add them to the Consolidated Workshop thread to keep it up to date :thumbsup:

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
