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

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
