Trojan Motorsport

[Mitcho_7]

Anyone know if the trojan motorsport guys are on holidays or have shut up shop or what? I have tried ringing them a couple times a day for the past week or so and cant get a hold of them. My computer wont even log onto the website either, I just get an error message.

The number i used to call them was 6242 6277 which I got out of the whitepages and then confirmed with a couple of different websites through google.

Any info on the topic would be great!

Interesting....... Havent been back there for quite a bit. But Im getting anymore performance work done in sydney from now on myself

[Trozzle]

I'd assume holidays, just taking Friday off to make it a 4 day weekend. Autotech has done the same thing.

They are on holidays, will be back in February.

[J'son]

Yeah, Angelo says they are back open on the 1st Feb.

They took a bit of a break since it is only John doing the repair work....

Thanks for filling me in. Do any of you know if they tune/fit emanage ultimates or nistunes with the z32 ecu for an r33 gtst?

[Sinista32]

Only know of Autotech doing the NIStune's

[Mitcho_7]

That's out in Hume isn't it?

Has anyone had a nistune with z32 ecu installed there by any chance ?

I met a kid not long ago with a 32 GTR that he took to autotech and he had nothing but good things to say about them. Never dealt with them myself though

Every shop has up and down stories. Autotech had a rough time a while back, though even recently there's quite a few people who will neve take their car back there.

Trojan did manage to fix and tune my car far better then CRD ever did, though CRD only had 4 weeks, where it took trojan 3 months.

Ultimates will do nistune if you have the software, you dont need a license for a once off tune, u can just download the program from their site and use it as a trial and next time u re tune just uninstall and re install again.

[Mitcho_7]

Never heard of ultimates. Where abouts are they?

I'm really keen on a nistune, but if there's only one place to get them tuned here then it's probably not the best option. It's a shame ESP doesn't do them as I have heard nothing but praise for there work...

[Trozzle]

Ultimate Tunes in Phillip.

yes it is a shame.

I've asked and there deadset against NIStune. They will refer you to Autotech.

[Mitcho_7]

Did you end up getting a nistune or did you go something else?

When I talked to ESP about ecu upgrades such as the EMU (Which they said isn't great) the guy I talked to pretty much said my only option was haltech, which is overkill for my needs. I think they were trying to upsell because they make slot off them.

[Sinista32]

ESP is mainly Vipec and Haltech and they like em for good reason.

Although they say

"We are agents and tuners of ViPEC, Haltech, HP tuners VCM Suite, Herrod SCT Flash box, Wolf Ecu, Power FC, Emanage Ultimate and Blue. We also have a large amount of experience in Motec, Autronic and Microtech ECU’S"

Your after an Emanage Ultimate and I suspect they are right. I'm sure also their prefrence is with Haltech and Vipec as they are good and yes it may be more than you need.

So I suppose you have what you have and they should work with that.

Have you given much consideration to NIStune and Autotech if your on a budget and dont want/need all the bells and whistles of the Haltech, ViPEC (G4).

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Ive been looking for about 6 months fo an ecu upgrade for my 32 gtst... Very hard to find.

Basically you are limited to what can be tuned in Canberra (who can do it).

Ive found theres Haltech $3200, several tuners; or Nistune $1200 only one place (Auototech hume)

Or some piggyback rip off crud... plenty of them.

I know Nistune is technically piggyback but it gets good reviews so im getting that.

I cant get an Apexi fc for mine, but you can for the 33, but i dunno if anyone here can tune it well.

Critical decision, take your time, ring the mechanics, make a good choice. Good luck.

[Mitcho_7]

Yeh $3200 installed and tuned was what ESP told me as well for the haltech. Im sure they are great, but when im only trying to get to 260rwkw at the most, it seems unnecessary and would mean i have to compromise in other places to stay within the amount im willing to spend altogether.

Ive done heaps of research and was leaning towards the EMU before the negative reviews from local tuners and am now pretty much set on the nistune with the z32 ecu for my 33gtst. Mainly because it is able to do everything I want and is comparably cheaper. The only downside to it is there being really only one place that installs and tunes them, which means i would have to get all my other upgrades put on there as well. Plus autotech is ages away from my house and i havent heard anything much about the places in terms of quality of work etc...

[Sinista32]

2nd hand Haltech E11V2 go fairly cheap. Do they meet what your looking for ??

[Manuel Kasko]

Nistune nistune nistune do it.

I spent days and hours upon hours researching it.

Just say stfu to local tuners and go to Sydney.

Also go the 32 Ecu with a window switch to control VCT

People might say keep it local but really?

Cheaper and possibly better tune you can't go wrong heading up to Sydney.
