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greg is a top bloke but his facilities are a bit outdated.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

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
