i THINK xspeed was the only licenced place in Perth to do those computers and sadly for you (and others) they have now closed. There is a place in Sydney that does them but that is the only other one i know of in Australia.

dealer's are different unless the rules have changed. Anyone can be a dealer but to get the software to tune the hks comp is stupid $$, hency why (when i last looked) there was only 2 place in Aus that could tune them.

Do ring them any way you never know.

You may be looking for a new computer, mate. I had to sling the HKS valcon for my V-Cam, because it had been locked by the HKS tuner in Japan. The HKs guys in Oz were not interested, because I had imported the system on a second hand engine.

So I now have a Haltech that manages the V-Cam and everything very nicely and gives awesome results.

I know it hurts to throw away a perfectly good computer, but if nobody in Perth can do it, then that is your only option. If someone in Perth can do it, I would be cautious in dealing with anyone who is in a monopoly situation. They may well be fine, but you are at their mercy!

Cheers. :cheers:

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
