Reputable Tuners Down South

[Adz2332]

Hey guys

I'm looking for a tuner down south way to check out a GTR for me.

Can anyone suggest anyone decent?

Turbo tune comes to mind but haven't had any direct involvement with them etc...

Help??

Down south where? If your near albany an old friend of mine runs a workshop with an AWD dyno. Doms Workshop. He knows Skylines aswell.

I'm currently half way through a tune with Morpowa (Modbury) as they used to do my mates track car, supposedly good with Nissans, will let you know if I'm happy after Tuesday.

I've heard that Jaustech (Holden Hill) is cheaper and also very good.

Thanks guys. I really am after a place south way. As it won't be getting a tune or anything just want them to look over it. See what they think of it etc. Make sure nothing is drastically wrong before I buy it etc

I've heard Horsepower in a Box at Lonsdale is good by some 33 owners, too far south?

Manta Racing Services are very highly regarded

Theyre not way down south but might be worth the drive...

Personaly I wouldn't go to Souther Hi Tech Dyno as when I took my car there for a bad idle ect I asked them to go over all the intercooler pipes and they said it was all good and couldn't find any pipes off and tryed to sell me a Power FC for like $1500 and got the car towed to Morrie at Horsepower In A Box in the end to have a look and he knew what it was as soon as he started the car and I have used him ever since and recommend him to everyone as it's great/friendly service and he knows what he's doing and he also has a 2WD Dyno.

Nothing but Thumbs up for the boys at jaustech (anthony and peter great blokes and allways love a chat),they only have a 2wd dyno tho (last time i was there anyways)

Turbo tune tuned my mates r32gtr vspec2 when he got it imported,got coilovers from them and a gearbox rebuild and a new clutch. When i was there with him tho the guys seemed a bit uppity and not down to earth normal blokes. Not sure what tunes/services cost from other 4wd tuners but his initial service and dyno tune (all fluids changed etc) was 1700 and his car went from 167kw to 221kw atw, gearbox rebuild and new clutch was just under $4k i think and a set of bc racing coilovers fitted were $600, as i said not sure if these a good prices for gtr tunes/servicing but his car does go like the clappers,i dont think they put the right clutch in tho as it slips.

Heard good things about horsepower in a box and wilall but i couldnt comment on first hand use of these tuners.

Steve Knight Racetech in Lonsdale.

Has a 4WD dyno and builds insane track cars including a daily driven 500awkw 34 gtr and f**kloads of insane EVO's.

Steve Knight & Manta are definitely race-bred/backed places...know their s**t inside out. Horsepower in a Box have heard good things about also.

Steve knight at lonsdale knows his shit, an has AWD dyno top bloke that actually explains stuff to you and will let you watch as he tunes the car on the dyno etc

[Adz2332]

Thanks guys, unfortunately Steve knight was to busy.

But on the plus side the Gtr is booked into racetech tomorrow. Fingers crossed it all checks out and I'll have it bought and paid for by the weekend!

I would have said to give Graham West Workshops a call as well. They have AWD dyno, and are pretty good. Slightly pricey but you get what you pay for I guess. I have used them in the past and have had really good dealings with them.
