Steve at manta racing[ richmond ]. He 's booked out for the next 2 week's though. He will more than likely do it at willall racing's dyno with peter hall :(

Manta racing I believe don't have their own dyno. They send the cars over to 'I believe' Willall Racing.

Personally I believe its an added liability having your car driven to and from a workshop for a tune.

Please do correct me if I am wrong as I may very well be. :)

But either way my vote goes to Shaun @ Boostworx. My loyalty has always been with Shaun and in return he looks after myself and doesn't charge the earth.

He's a top bloke thats down to earth and not full of him self.

Northern side of town. I would have to say Tilbrooks, BUT I would only have Tim Possingham (if he's still there) tune mine.

They do charge quite a bit more; DO make sure you get a solid written quote and make it very clear they are to call before performing any work that will blow out the price.

Both Tilbrooks and Boostworx have the Datalogit so there's no issues there.

Another bloke that appears to be on the pulse is Graham West Performance Marion Road. They too have a datalogit.

Got a quote to retune the Stagea awd rb25det auto with the highflow turbo, for the safc II and the sitc piggybacks.

Has been tuned twice before at Graham Wests - Im sure now that I definately paid for too much time (lol at 5hrs dyno time plus setup fee).

Got quote from Wests, then got quote from John at HiTech Dyno. HiTech were under by well over a hundred dollars, including dropping the driveshaft for the rwd dyno (Wests have a 4wd dyno), so thats where I'll be going soon for the final tune. Steve (Pixl8r) reports a good experience with HiTech hence my decision to get a quote from them.

hmmmmmm, perhaps I should get a quote from Boostworx ? :huh:

If your running an SAFC I would think 1-2hrs absolute max.

So the tune shouldn't cost much more than $250.

Exactly, as I NOW know. Didnt know any better one year ago - hence why I never queried the 5hours charge time from GWW. Still not happy about the overcharge although the tune wasnt toooo bad. Meh.

Quote from John at Hitech was for a max of 3hr tune, said he'd do it quicker then that tho; seems honest enough to me.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
