yeah was thinking there, im from devonport so would be a bit of a mission but worth it to get a good tune

geez, nearly be easier chucking it on the ferry! RPM/Race Pace isnt too far away.

In the south there are a few options, Nicks summers/GT Garage or Andrew Kuc/Pro Automotive are the only two I'd consider down here. Andy has been tuning my car since 2007 and its still pumping good power with zero issue. 40 odd thousand kays on his tunes with track days and regular floggings and has never missed a beat and makes 50 odd kw's more than it probably should.

awesome man, i will be making the trip to hobart i reckon, thanks for the info ;)

i had mine done by Nick, i am from Burnie, def worth the trip, get a few mates and make it a day trip! i haven't asked Nick, but have been told he was taught by the same guy that taught Andy, so should be in good hands with either :D

Nick learnt the basics when he was working in Melbourne for Sam/Dr Drift but majority of what he knows is self taught.

One of the most genuine guys you will ever meet and you only have to look at cars like Ben's 180 (current and old) to see what he's capable of doing.

not doubting nicks work as i have good reports, but when i was waiting for my car to be done i waited 6 months for him even after having 1k cash sitting in my pocket but i never heard back from him.. im sure hes different now hes full time at his own workshop but i found sthe Shaw boys who know my car well and ill stick with them ;) 215k on engine and still going strong except for me setting it on fire haha.

No need to reply but we both know there are two sides to your story Funz :D.

As for Nick and Andy being taught by the same person, not sure where that came from. Definitely not true.

At the end of the day which tuner questions are asking for trouble on forums. If you're happy with your current tuner stick with him/her, if you're not look elsewhere.

Ben

doesnt have one, hence why he asked for advice

atm 32 is getting some loving with repairs, sourced a new low K engine to swap over in it and rebuild the current one in it for targa eventually, also got the 31's suspension swapped over for stock items.. man its nice not feeling every pebble on the road lol.. next in line for 31 is exhaust and a few other little things then planning better paint lol

hehe , i bought a r31 the other day , and a second to make 1 nice car outta 2 , so i'll soon have a s2/3 ti manual for daily duties so i can take the laurel off the road to put a bigger heart in it (rb25 will take place of the 20 )

    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
    • Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???
