I've been to Powertune.

Wasn't happy. I knew what my SR20 had a boost leak.

"No that's not it"

I insisted 5 times it was a boost leak

"Nah you've plumbed this in wrong, and its your 02 sensor"

Took 2 hours for an apprentice to fit something on a fully qualified mechanic could of done in 1.

$200 bill. Drive off and car still runs like shit.

Go to Unigroup $60 later turns out the bov was leaking. So yea IT WAS A BOOST LEAK.

The end.

Not to be a ass but Unigroup has told me a lot of customers are coming back from Powertune to them to fix there cars

Unigroup said the same thing to me. I thought Powertune was the shit from what I saw, now I have seen the light in Unigroup. Maybe they are only interested in people who do big dollar builds. Meh.

So glad I didn't take it there it's like 2 from my houses to

Yea that was a big bonus for Powertune. They are very close where I live.

Wont be seeing a single cent from me ever again.

My mate (actual mate not mate's mate's brother's butcher's mate) had his tune stuffed by them. Couldnt get a SR20 black top in a sil80 with GT2871r working properly. I thought this was standard shit for them? Which again returns to my theory of them only caring if you spend big bucks.

Agree. After the tech night I decided to go with JEM for some light work. The consultation and professionalism were top notch. Picked the car up tonight and its in great shape, running awesome. They went the extra mile in more than a few areas. They love cars and take pride in their work.

259kw @14psi with stock turbos, haltech, EBC, injectors, fuel pump, front pipes, cat and exhaust. Switched over to e85 too in preparation for a nice big single some time in the future (hope soon). Definitely need more power now!

Hey Nick,

Thank you for the comments.

A nice gt35r or even a gtx35r setup , head studs drop in cams intercooler and upgraded pumps we can expect 420kws from a standard motor.

For now enjoy the car and if you have any questions please call us.

Joe happy to hear that the car came out the way you wanted.

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
