dude, do a search in NSW section for tuners..

theres heaps of threads, it will be more informative to you than people repeating themselves

yeah, i searched and read the threads...

i especially liked the thread about the south coast tuners wanted and how he was told to goto canberra..

i know how to do a search, if i cant find the information i need i will ask the question

if you search you might get a thread from 200yrs ago saying that X tuner is good when latley he's been blowing motors (for example), what if someone has found someone new? i think its ok if a thread comes up every now and then unless we make a sticky about tuners.

Thanks duncan..

those are comments which are useful to myself and other members in the southern sydney area... none of this go and search crap

i was just trying to help, i even did the search for you. am i suppose to read your mind and know you already did a search?

no need to cry like a bitch.

Ken from Incar Motorsports Wetherill Park (that's south isn't it? or is that more west?) is pretty good. Don't know how busy he is at the moment though cause he just opened up a new car yard.

9609 1122 (speak to Ken, tell him you spoke to wil with the white skyline).

Good thing about Ken is he takes his time. I've never felt rushed. The only time I did was when I wanted him to hurry up so I could drive the f'ing thing. LOL

i personally wouldnt take it to greg to tune a fully rebuilt engine.

greg is a top bloke but his facilities are a bit outdated. [sorry greg]

if you want the best possible tune for your car, go see Jim @ CRD at silverwater.

the tune is the most important part of the running of the car, besides the engine itself. as NXTIME said, dont limit yourself. a good tune and a bad tune is the difference between a blown engine and a perfectly running one.

do yourslef a favour and go to CRD

ive got a tuner that is really really good with RB motors i use and highly reccomend jim ghelis 02 9557 4000 at TUNEHOUSE performance center in chalder st marrickville. really nice clean facility and highly skilled staff. i use these guys and my car comes out with more power evrytime i use them. if you go there tell them nick with the maroon 33 told you about the place.

greg must be half decent as he fairly blew past me on the straight at eastern creek in his white GTR the last time we were out there! and I think had fastest time of the day for that leg of the state supersprint champs.

i have my reasons why i would not get him to tune my car. mechanical work and installation all good but tuning id rather go elsewhere.

greg drives like a maniac and has great skill and has competed many times in such events, the r32 gtr was also very close to stock, so not much need to tune if any at all.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
