Matt Spry down on the goldcoast... $200/hr.

Allstar on the northside... $125/hr

These would be the only 2 I'd recommend based on there experience with PowerFC's and other ECU's.

But whatever tunner you use... make sure they will tune it to the ecu you have.

Richard at Allstar is very good. I use him exclusively. His prices are good and he now has all the software for ALL Power FC's.

He is a Haltech dealer and can tune any ECU.

Tell him Dave sent you and he may give you a discount. Even bigger discount for SAU Qld members. He will ask to see your membership card so don't try and con him!!

my skyline was tuned there (101 motorcafe), then the car moved interstate and they wanted $1000 for the code so I could retune her up here in darwin.

motec, 10sec_rx7, our w/shop up here and 33,000+ readers on a pf thread all know about it, and wont be going to 101. zoom, hot4s, perth street cars, race and another one... I have forgotten for the moment were going to do a write up about it.

As i often go Street drifting with Harry From 101, i can say they are a great bunch, definately know there gear. but its little things like Phee has encountered which rupture there good name. making money anyway possible is there attitude

No dis-respect to them, there workmanship. its just there ethics that are there downfall in my perspective.

Cool,thanks for all the places/numbers im in process now of ringhing the guys up and arranging times/prices etc... Juat a couple places that no one mentioned bob ramano and APC at springwood, these guys no good??? Donr wanna give places bad name, but bob ramano dudes seemed a litle arrogant on the phone, but it seems alot car places are...

OMG i went there about tuning my car... his son (cant remember his name) is the biggest tosser man so i know what ur saying, they specialise in WRX and holdens man, for a nissan take it to Godzilla Motorsport.

i would also recommend richo from all star, but it all does depend on which ecu you have and how far you wanna travel. PITS tuned a friends 33 after numerous other workshops stuffed it up.

I Actually use Bob as my only mechanic... he and his son chris do a great job on my car, he does sound arrogant sum times but thats coss he's so busy and his maner of speaking is quiet short and to the piont.

The only bad thing about him is that he wont let your car go on the dyno unless it is fully checked out by him, not bad prices charges me $99/hr for Dyno time. he handels many difrent cars but he does specialise in WRX and FORDS.... Chris is pretty good on the tuning but he has this problem about trying to squeez the most out of your tune, he just wont do it.

any way sorry about the ranting... consider Bob.....

But i would also Highly recomend Mercury MotorSports, they really do know what they are doing, have alot for friends go there. Open on Saturday as well!!!

matty spry at pits...

He tuned my SR20 silvia and its running a reliable 11.1@131mph, going back for a bit of an angry tune in search of 10s...

I have been going to him ever since i got my car, he has helped me out from day 1 when my car had a simple T28 setup, to my now setup with a full built motor and larger turbo.

mercury orginally tuned my car, was ok

much happier with the retune matty spry did

just not that convenient driving down the coast to get it done, but definately worth the extra cash

Charlies Motors @ Wollongabba. They tune our racecar...rb30det making...sorry was making 365rwkws no problems. Charlie and Dave, father and son team, you cant go wrong with family businesses, i know cause im in one also haha. The old man there used to race cars and bikes in all sorts so they know there way around race setups. They are fairly priced and tune spot on. They are right into the drift stuff now also, theres a few drift cars there every bloudy week.

+1 for them from me.

We jumped from Mercury to Charlies...But id give a +1 for Matty also. I know heaps of guys at the track who goto him and cant recommend him enough. -1 for MM :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
