every tuner has their share of groupies and fan boys so of course everyone is gonna recommend different tuners and say something bad about another.

go with whoever you feel comfortable with, suits your budget and is near you (unless you don't mind travelling further for them)

generally if the tuner is down to earth and friendly, it means good service. if they're pricks and think they're better than you just because they're a tuner, i'd walk away. (alot of big time workshops have this attitude cause you are just small fish and only need a tune).

i've used powertune before, wasn't the best experience/service, however Jez - wonderful service and a friendly fella, you will not be disappointed.

would've went to JEM before powertune but they couldn't fit me into their schedule,

Thanks for everyone with there input to this subject I had a chat with dean from jem very nice bloke down to earth I will keep everyone updated when the car comes back with the new dyno sheet up in this suction

Don't get too caught up with dyno figures though. I think JEMs dyno reads pretty low compared to others and also Adam will tune for excellent driveabilty for the street.

When I had mine retuned by JEM after adding a bigger exhaust and intercooler I was disappointed to see that the killer wasps had actually decreased compared to the number I got from a previous dyno (albeit a hub dyno).

Once I drove the car though, there was no doubt that the power had increased enormously all through the rev range.

Some places tune for Dyno numbers, Adam at JEM will tune for exceptional driveability and real world results.

Just my 2 cents :)

My post numbers are pretty low and I haven't quite figured out how to access this info. Are you able to help me out with where to find it?

I recommended JEM, perhaps, in retrospect, I should have just put: JEM +1 without any reasons or ellaboration as to why I would recommend them to help you out. If you look back over other comments none have provided reasons, I did. I also did not say they were better, as I have no experience with DVS.

The dyno figure seems high that "Envy" provided for -5s, coming from a qualified mechanic that has built a few. In fact, one of my builds is going to JEM next week that is extremely similar to what you have, hence the interest. Also, from past experience there is a lot more to a good tune than just an outright Kw figure. My intention was to draw the focus away from the outright figure, as this often leads to disappointment when there is no longevity factored into the tune for a street car where your expected outcome "is not 460kw but higher" on that set up.

The intention was to assist - the responses make me wonder why I bothered in the first place. Welcome to SA for the new guy! :/

wow 6 months thats not long at all :P decide to take my car to jem because of ur build with them

Haha nice! That is always a good thing :) I talk pretty highly of them, there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff they have done to get my car to where it is that is not shown on the forum etc...

In saying that, i also support the suggestions for DVS JEZ in here and always will as he has been nothing but willing to help for me and many other SAUers on here :D

Thanks for posting this. Could I impose for more detail about the set up that was tuned at Envy and whether it's exactly the same that is going to be tuned by JEM and some detail about motor?

Valves - [oversize or standard size]

Intake manifold and throttle/s [standard or oversize aftermarket]

Intercooler [what size brand]

Head - Ported and polished

Block - [standard or grout fill]

Oil pump - [brand]

water pump - [brand]

Turbos - -5s [what A/Rs and are they antisurge impeller housings]

Compression ratio

Exhaust system incl manifold

Crank - [standard, work done or aftermarket]

Pistons - [forged but are they teflon and/or ceramic treated]

Rods - [brand]

Wastegates - [standard or modified]

Fuel [E85, but what set up]

balancer - [standard or a/m]

A/C still on?

Computer [Haltech ?]

Any lightening of driveline components?

Was the car tuned in awd?

Sorry for the million and one questions, but this will make an awesome thread for others to get reliable data from once the new dyno sheet goes up. Thanks again.

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
