i recommend bps in cleveland behind tyre zone. I went there after having a bad experience at hardcore and they did a really good job. There not as well known and wont show dis-interest because your not wanting to spend $10k in one go but they know there stuff. The main mechanic there as worked on alot of race cars and exotic cars like ferrari and porsche.

brisbane turbo and tunning?? never used them, but they sound all right...well, as far as i know any way

I heard 90% good reports about them.

For except one where a guy went to go and pick up his car and on the way there he saw them test driving it rather hard like smokin the tyres down the back streets.

I wouldnt be happy with that.

I think the owners son drives a grey R32 GTR, he seems like a good bloke.

brisbane turbo tuning in woolloongabba?

as if! never going back to them.

they couldnt tune the thing to perfection like matt and allstar would be able to.

and they dont even have the equipment there to properly tune a powerfc. they tune it in the handcontroller. no laptop, no additional software, nothing.

pretty damm ghey!

i actually went to school with him...thats why i hear all these stories from him, haha. nothing bad of course. i have talked to john personally once, and he sounded good

Matty Spry at PITS is only place in qld i can recommend......

very friendly, not arrogant like a lot of highly regarded tuners.

Heard some negative things about APC but mainly regarding overcharging.

and the best thing is you can actually sit in the passanger seat while he's on the dyno and tunnin the car and he'll explain things to you if you ask a question and will either be detailed about it or straight to the point with an answer based on how you come across with knowledge.

haven't tried allstar yet but i'm tempted to give them a bit of a go in a couple of wks time.

car's runnin a bit rich and damm the garage has way to many fumes of a morning when i go in it after lettin the car turb itself off with the turbo timer.

What ever happened to Millenium Motorsports?? Not that i live in Queensland (nor australia for that matter) anymore but he tuned my car and i was quite satisfied..

Are they still around?!

yeah millenium is still around. have heard mixed stories about them.

Millenium is still around. I take my car to them for everything. Great guys. Easy to talk to. Will explain everything to you. And most important, they won't rip you off.

It’s all about preference. In my opinion I like to meet the people talk to them and throw a spanner in the

Works and ask some really stupid questions if they nod like they agree or tell you something totally

Stupid take a walk & don’t go back. I spoke to allot of tuners and I went to a few because I herd they were good. They all say I specialise in this or that and that means not a thing in the real world.

I took my car to Godzilla Motor sport and they picked up things the last 4 dynos didn’t * Like why my power line was feathering out at high end... Not a hard thing to work out but if 4 Tuners missed it then wtf is that?

In my opinion

Mark and Bonnie @ Godzilla Motor sport is the only place I will take my GTR.

PH: 38904488

PS: Like I said talk to them first. The power of observation is a wonderful thing

PPS: I have tryed not to say the F bomb as much as posable in this post :)

Hmm this is a dillema for me at the moment, it comes down to who can tune R34 ROMs and is familiar with the base maps...basically Mercury can do it as they now have Nissan Live Edit. Unfortuantely I don't think Richo has done many/any ROM tunes otherwise he'd be my pick for sure, awesome guy and very helpful.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
