Hi

Just need to know of the best guys in brisbane to take my car to get it tuned properly. Every one i go to tells me they just need the hand controller. But i know for a fact to get the best tune possible you need the apexi laptop software. Does anyone know who some of the garages in brisbane are that have this software so i can get a good solid tune out of my car

cheers

even better try the QLD workshops tread and make some calls and see.....

yeah mercury - even though they had NFI what my engine was they still did a good job with the powerFC tune.

Did they allow you to be around the car whilst it was dynoed? I hate the idea of having to sit in reception or whatever while they tune your car. I've always helped out on dyno sessions - I'm interested as I'll need a tune in a few weeks in Brissy.

Hey mate I had mercury tune my rb20.

I didnt stay around as it was a full tune and took them all day however they did tune it to exactally what I asked for.

Im sure if u asked them to hang around, you can sit upstairs their workshop in the lounge room then that way they can come see you if need to ask you any questions.

nah you're not allowed in the dyno room for OH+S reasons, but you can sit upstairs and read the ricer magazines while your car is going mental on the dyno. the dudes in the office were complaining that they couldn't hear themselves think when my car was on the dyno - it was awesome.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
