I'm going through imports101 actually. So they basically do a to ur door service. Organise everything and other than pay them money (the hardest part!) you don't HAVE to do anything. I'm getting Danny to give me run downs on everything that is getting down, how they go about it, who they go through, etc etc so next time (cmon, you all know there'll be one :P) I can do it myself, or at least the majority anyway).

So I guess my answer is I'll tell you how I (they) went about it when its done :D

Boostworx is also good.

Shaun tunes the better known hipo street Skylines getting around Adelaide.

Not to mention he's pulled ~280rwkw out of a stock RB25DET & an internal gate turbo, it appears to be holding together perfectly fine.

What better known Skylines has Shaun tuned?

I'd recommend Mark Tilbrook from personal experience.

he tuned one of our member "whatisname"'s car, which has 299.1rwkw? :)

i go to boostworx as well, it's good to go to a workshop that the owner has loads of exp. and he is the only one do all the job.

Looks like Mark Tilbrook uses Tim Possingham to tune these days.

Tim is a good tuner. He tunes safe.

If Tim is tuning the car I don't have an issue. If its some other hack then I wouldn't get my car tuned at Tilbrooks.

Back to boostworx.

Freebaggin (~280kw on stock motor) & whatsisname 299.1rwkw.

Darrens R32 RB30DET (that will be making upwards of 350rwkw soon) and my RB30DET (~300rwkw) will also be tuned there once it is run in.

----

It really depends where you live..

Down southish - Boostworx.

Up North - Tilbrooks (Providing its Tim that does the tune)

Always a topic that generates much debate (mostly heated!)

I know both Tim (Tilbrooks main tuner) and Shaun (Boost worX) personally. Both are excellent blokes and both have a wealth of performance tuning knowledge. I would recommend either of them for tuning work.

For all round tuning 'and' performance work I would recommend Shaun without hesitation. I have been taking my car to Boost worX for some time now. Before that I used RPM (once owned by Tim and later managed by Shaun!). As I know Shaun reasonably well he always looks after me. I have never used Tilbrook Auto and Dyno but I do know and have chatted to Mark on many occasions. He is a decent bloke.

i kno tilbrooks has experience with skylines. he dyno'd my mates et and got 100fwkw outta it runnin on 15psi. but he had a fairl bad fuel dump. tilbrooks was recommended to my mate by the mechanic at jap-tech

RPM are under new management.

I don't think they are dodgy.

I used to take my car there when Tim owned it a couple of years ago.

Since then up until this RB30DET I haven't really done any mods (Rb30det's are damn expensive) :/

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
