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...

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

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
