Without going into all the crazy variables Udi that can cause a car to detonate even before its first run...

The high reputation tuning shops around Sydney include...

* Unigroup Eng

* DVS_Tuning

* Croydon Racing Development

* Just Engine Management

* Tune House

* Powertune

* Pulse Racing

* Dart Automotive

* Rigoli Bros

Now you may wish to narrow down that list depending on what ECU you have installed, but most Members here have had good things to say about those tuners. Most will be happy to discuss

* your needs

* the state of your car

* modifications required

* progress reports

* projected limits

* computer overlays of your car's performance with another's with the same mods

Please note that I have deliberately omitted the attempt to achieve a particular power figure - because that will be sorted out in your relationship with the tuner. A tuner has every right to be suss about a demanding/dictatorial client.

DVS Tuning

Can't fault Jez's work, he is very passionate about his work, and not in it just to pump cars out and make heaps of cash.

He won't let a car leave the shop till he knows its spot on. And also won't offer ridiculous advise unless his sure.

That's the diffrence between the bigger shops and jez.

That's the experience I have to share.

mate your going to get a whole different range of answers........when I did my engine swap, turbo/ecu/injectors/clutch/rear hub swap/remove hicas upgrades I used drift garage (Louis). they were local for me and Louis knows what he's doing, didn't talk any shit, asked what I wanted from the car. He doesn't have the garage anymore but he works for powertune now, from what I hear and see they are pretty good

I have a mate who got his r33 tuned by them and blew his motor in 7 months lol

That would have had nothing to do with the tune and more how the car was treated, maintained or whether it was due to a part failure etc

All reputable tuners would not let a car leave with a bad tune (it is their bread and butter after all). Plus most tuners log every dyno run (I know mine does) so to put the blame on the tuner after 7 months is absolutely laughable.

There's a shop on that list that tuned my car 3 weeks before I picked it up from the previous owner, and the tune was so far out of whack it almost ruined my engine.

Was way lean to the point it would run really hot and after a decent hit though the hills it would get hot on the temp gauge.

And also the cam timing, was back wards, they had the timing setup so far out that it was as if it was as if it was Down on compression. 100psi type shit.

So as for reputable workshops not letting a car leave unless its perfect, it's abit hard if the workshop doesn't no how to make the car perfect in the first place. Or doesn't know there's anything wrong.

Thank you guys. I'm sorry if I offend any1 not here to make foes just trying to gain some knowledge cas I have spent a pretty penny building my 2.5. And will loose my sh#t if I blew it without having time to enjoy it. So yeah thank you all ill most def. speak to the tuners and choose one. ????

all of this.

terry, rigoli bros, are you referring to T&E or TRP?

TRP used powertune.

not sure of T&E....

Indy at IS Motorsport, that guy really knows his shit around evo's and skylines, he practically won't touch anything else because their his true love haha lol, great bloke, alot of my mates plus I got our cars tuned there, and hes reasonably prices aswell, so its a win win situation dude.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
