Rotomotion is the go for Microtech.

Chris mills does not own the workshop anymore he now runs the shop out the front.

They do a lot of Asian cars there now and tuned many of the Fast friday cars last week both Trev and asian.With the equipment in Chris mills performance service and Dyno center

there is not much that cant be done there inc full engine building inc in house machine shop

etc.

AJ is and has long been a respected Tuner.

With SST now closed I don't know of realy decent place that respects you as a client.

Thats what it is!

It's the owners that set the standards of the shop and take time to get to know you and your car. Most people around town are only concerned with money and having a drink at the end of the day.

Not much has been spoken of AJ's tuning at Speedworks. Has anybody on here had their car tuned at Speedworks? Also, does AJ tune PFC?

hey gtst89, my friends car was tune by speedworks and he is more than happy with the results i have been in the car and what can i say the car is making over 400rwhp with a rom-tune ecu without 1 problem :P many people have said speedworks to be slow etc but my friend said if ur paying customor it isnt slow :D

also banned on here had his r32 gtr built/tune by them and he was happy 2 :D

who would be best to get my R33 GTS-T with a microtech LT-12 tuned by?

This will sound lame after all the wondrous advice previously given but we can tune your microtech.

Failing that , Mick at Ovaboost is very good and has some quick Nissans on the product. :D

Cheers

Actually sexzilla, upon reflection, I take offence to that post...

I don't often arc up but that is such a broad sweeping statement it requires an answer.

If you are saying that SST is the only shop that provides service, then why have they closed??

And PSI, Hyperdrive, X Speed, Speedworks, Barry dyno, Cypher Industries, Ovaboost, CMP, Wheelspin,Supertec, EvoR and a few I can't remember/don't know are all useless and only chasing the money or beer.

So you have been to them all and made a value judgement as to there capability/drink worthiness??

Pull your ****in head in...

Ken

ill throw my 2 cents in.

the best service i ever recieved was at hyperdrive. every single thing they did was done with a standard second to none.... whether that be answering a phone call or running my car on the dyno

close seconds... speedworks and xpseed ... both very very good.

as for al's comments, i doubt there is anyone out there who will better Ken and Lumpy for taking time to get to know you as a person 1, and as a customer 2.

i will also throw in my 2cents,

everyone knows im not the smartest person when it comes to cars and i ask about 100 question which are all the same just different words. But both ken and lumpy have looked after me 100% whether it be showing me how to install the fmic piping, or fixing my car after i almost killed it when it blew an oil line (just rock up and they fix it)

both take the time to listen and answer my question, i once had a 30/40mins talk with ken just about my skyline good upgrade and everything else related to cars :D

Getting the new R tuned there on Friday, flying down for it too, will post results in another thread once I get them.

I don't know what people are whinging about, there is no one and I mean no one up here that is even competent to provide a service, every time I ahve let my car out to anywhere up here it has come back with some form of mal service done to it.. I had to get service on my 180 due to warranty, no warranty on the R32 this time.. A little run down if I may:

TNT smashed the car upon taking it off of the truck for delivery..

The smash repairer left 6 bolts only half in after fixing abovementioned damage.

First service the dump was removed to fit EGT probe, snapped a bolt in turbo (this happens is cool) but when they put the turbo back on, they only put one nut on it, resulting story blown gasket, lots of squeaking, found it my self.

Next service, threaded sum plug and must have only done up finger tight, resultant effect 2 litres of oil on driveway and a repair job for me while I was at it.

Next service, vehicle is seen doing close to warp speed (in town I might add) by one of my good friends..

Next Service, threaded sump plug thread on ym nice new Trust Sump, (car was smashed only a weke after this so the sump came off and now has a heli coil in it, in a mates car)

I just wanted my car to be released to a workshop/mechanic/repairer without it coming back in worse condition than it went in..

The nearest tuner, is Port Hedland, 250km/h away, they don't do 'imports' (they also classified a VL Turbo and import), and won't let cars on their dyno if the owner is present, you have to leave it with them and come back the next day... hrrmmm, not too sure on that one.. I also heard a rumour that they have let a car go on their dyno too, which would not be pretty I would say..

Yorik, nice avatar..hmmm..love those tits.

Anyway, AJ is a competent tuner on Power FC but so are we. We have the datalogit software ( mostly) to tune it and do a few cars for the Karratha mob on behalf of D Konig.

We have a reasonable reputation on them and PNBlight will attest to the HP we attained for him out of his.

Cheers

[bANNED] cant remember his sau nick but they are his car plates

Boosted_RB26 i believe?

anywayz, Sexzilla i think ure post isnt fair at all to any of the workshops in Perth... u might wanna take it back..

i must say, ive used Cypher and Zack is a champ... havent used Hyperdrive but ive known Ken since before he opened Hyperdrive and he's a great peoples person.. I havent done much at SST except a few repairs but I get along well with Steve and he's given me heaps of advice not neccesarily car related.. at the end of the day, these guys are just regular people and if u treat them well, walk in with a good attitude instead of being stuck up then i believe they will treat you in the same way.. not every workshop is for you, naturally each person would have their preffered workshop.. the best is to stick to the one you feel is best for you and BE LOYAL! lots of ppl jump workshops for the sake of saving 20-30 bucks.. yeah i know its money but in the long run, being loyal to a workshop saves you heaps of cash too..

sorry for the long post

Cliffs = choose workshop, stick to it, dont bag others, kthxbai

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
