Yeh there is the possibility of going to sydney to get somewhere like CRD to install and tune it, but the only issue with sydney is i would have to get them to put in everything at the same time. Im planning on getting a hypergear r33 kai hi flow turbo, injectors (700cc or so), fuel pump (probably nismo in tank), clutch (got no idea what sort, suggestions?), ebc (profec b spec), z32 afm, 3" metal intake pipe and the nistune/z32 ecu)

So to get all that done in one hit theyd need the car for a fair while not to mention how big of a hit my wallet would take in one go.

Any place is going to need it for a fare while..?

Wouldn't mean because it's local you get to drive it home each afternoon after they have done one thing

Local is going to be the same as Sydney in time it takes and when you get to drive again.

Yeh, Im completely aware of that, But i meant to make it worth while going to sydney or somewhere I would have to get everything done at once otherwise the cost of driving up and back would make it not worthwhile after a couple of trips. Whereas here i could get a few things done at intervals, like fuel pump, ebc and nistune install and tune on stock turbo. Then get it back and wait a while/ save a bit more. Then get clutch, injectors, turbo and afm done a bit later. Not to mention if I get it done here its a lot closer to take it back to someone who has worked on it and knows the car a bit.

It's not rocket science and regardless of preference I find it hard to believe any workshop can't tune any ECU of your choice.

Best thing to do really is call around, talk to a bunch of workshops both local and in Syd and see who you feel comfortable with regardless of where they are. Slight inconvenience now (such as taking it to Syd) might save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

Up to you, but I think you are making a bad decision if you get hardware that only one workshop can work on. For the price, get a second hand Power FC then anyone can tune it. Everyone works on haltechs as well and vipec is becoming popular as well (though without the support or history of haltech).

I've gone to different workshops to get issues resolved, if you are stuck with one workshop and they into a problem they can not solve, you are stuffed. I've also learn't to spend the big money and get something done right with the best gear in the first place, but understand everyone has a budget.

I think the thing thats going to kill me with these upgrades is paying the labor costs to put everything in because im generally pretty unskilled when it comes to cars and dont trust myself not to stuff it up. Ideally if i was competant i would put everything in at home and get the car towed to be tuned to save on labor costs. But ive got no idea how to put in a new clutch, injectors, fuel pump, ebc and solder the z32 afm wires or change out my turbo for a high flowed one. Not to mention itd probably be really awkward to try and do that sorta stuff on a driveway with a jack and stands rather than a hoist. But i guess if you wanna do upgrades, you got to be willing to pay what it costs...

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.

Where abouts did you get your nistune setup?

Purchased the Ecu online here

Also the VCT switch can pop up on here or you can google them and plenty of places sell them.

They go under the name of MSD rpm window switch

Turns things on and off at programmed rpm's such as your VCT

Chips I am purchasing online from nistune

Type 2 board if I remember correctly

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
