Both these are in Baysie aswell :rofl:

Techsport for all the suspension setup stuff, i dont belive they do tuning.

And Melbourne Performance Centre as a tuner. matlowth here on the forums is going through a bit of this at the moment with regards to the stock ECU/tuning and all its features.

Drop him a PM as he knows a heck of a lot already as he's been/going through it all now, even tuning his ECU a bit himself i think :)

Definately Techsport. As Ash says, they don't do tuning themselves but send it to MPC which is very close.

I have everything done by Techsport including panel work as Jeff has a good network of contacts out there plus I don't have time to shop for quotes.

They are the first workshop I have seen who do what you ask, show you what they have done (e.g parts replaced and why) and will gladly talk to you about your car, the potential and options until the cows come home. Also very fairly priced too. A big help for me is they are open Saturday mornings as I don't live anywhere near by so getting out there of an evening is quite hard.

Number is: 03 9720 9300

G'day,

As Ash mentioned, I'm currently going down this path now as far as tuning goes.

As far as mechanical/suspension work, I'm getting all that done at Techsport as I've never heard anything but praise for their quality of work. They're very reasonably priced too.

The ECU side of it is a bit more tricky. If you're happy to pay $$$ to get an Autronic or MoTeC, then you'll find that MPC will do a good job.

There are a few products (such as ECUFlash) which have the ability to reflash the factory ECU, unfortunately, there are no shops here in Melbourne (other than AVO) that I've come across which have played with it. Give it time though, as it's very quickly gaining popularity in the EVO community. I've been speaking with MPC about ECUFlash, but as of yet, haven't been down there to show them the software and what it's capable of.

When you're ready to get your car tuned, drop me a PM, and I'll let you know where I'm at re: places to get tuned.

Cheers,

matt

How good is he with new ones tho? Remembering these are new cars, not ones from 10 years ago built to go in a straight line :)

i thought we had no choice but to go to ralliart to get work done without voiding the warranty?

anyone had any experiences with ralliart in melb, costs would be higher then normal im guessing.

growin #'s someone should start up an australian evo forum

:sorcerer: I know a few things you dont i think heeheh.

1) If you wanted warranty, you'd just buy the Ralliart EVO to begin with, carries i think 20k higher pricetag so your paying through the nose.

So its your own call there.

2) There already is EVO forums: http://www.evolutionoz.net/

Cheers! :)

I already said that!

And LOL at letting Dr Drift touch a 60k car.

I know the factory ecu's can be tuned :D

Dr Drift has some info on this but does not have a 4wd dyno.

maybe one of these EVO workshops might be interested in a tuning package?

I was suggesting maybe one of thse godly workshops should get some tips and possibly the equipment to retune the factory ecu so they can be called EVO' gods. The factory ecu is more than capabile for all your needs and is relativly easy to tune.

I agree someone needs to get their hands on the equipment and start providing tuning for an evo that is not running a motec.

tell benno to get a 4wd dyno and I can hook him up with the gear to tune these cheater cars

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
