Yes , the rumours are correct but not for the reasons people think.

We have been hard at it for 3 years and it's time Glenn and myself took a break.

Glenn will be seeking to change direction in regards to type of cars and what he actually is tuning and I will be staying here until it is sold or will stay on if the new owner wants a manager.

He will be avaliable to tune if the need arises and we have access to a competent tuner for the times he isn't in the country.

The business is going very well ( as is attested by the brokers figures on what it's worth ) , we certainly aren't going broke and we haven't had a fight, just things change in your life and you have to re assess your goals.

We will be closed from December 22nd till January 8th and it will be business as usual.

Thanks to all our past customers , welcome to our future ones and we wish you all a Merry Christmas.

If anyone is seriously interested in purchasing a business that has excellent turnover, good profit figures , secure lease then call me direct.

I can assure you for those who are into the investment scenario , this returns far better %'s than buying a rental property :P:D

Cheers

Ken

For the time being, nothing will really change. There is no need to find another shop.

Ken will still be at the helm, and our 2 long-time technicians Andrew and Mike will be out the back slaving away, so the same standards of service and scope of work will be available.

I will be available for specialist tuning on an appointment basis through Hyperdrive. Bookings can be made through Ken provided I am available, otherwise the boys can handle the more basic stuff themselves (s-afc, power runs etc) and as Ken says we have another tuner on back-up.

So it really is business as usual.

Anyone interested in the business would be hard pressed to find a better set-up operation with a good reputation and loyal customer base. With the 2 behind the scenes men wanting to stay onboard after the sale, the transition for all couldnt be any better.

Thanks to all for the wishes.

Only 3 years but straight to the top rung on the workshop front with a solid reputation for quality work and tuning its a pity it will change hands but going out on a high not in shame like other workshops have had collapsed in. Pro operation good luck with what comes.

sad to see a highly respected shop losing its familiar faces but like the mayhoe said good to go out with a highly respected name

dad will be pissed, he was rather happy about being the first car that ever got a service there and how yous went about business (JRJ 1 - shiraz S14a, 17" sparco's, suspension work, stock mechanics) :wave:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
