did you have impressive resaults?

Nothing super impressive. Improvement though nevertheless. Standard RB26DETT except pods and exhaust, with powerfc now getting just under 220 kw at all 4 wheels.

Main reason for getting it done was to sort out the engine cutting out under boost which it was doing after coming back from another workshop where it had the factory ECU tuned........ :rolleyes:

But yeah, good experience with it, the only drama was waiting a bit longer than expected for the pfc to arrive, but saying that due to their rareness etc. waiting 5 days in the end wasn't so bad. :(

I have to say that all the above mentioned workshops are all pretty good, however in saying that you will always find one bad experience for every good one. Every workshop gets equal amounts of praise and bagging. I have to say tho, all these guys mentioned are all pretty good in my eyes.
I have heard of a few really bad experiences with Allstar and as a result i wouldnt let them tune my moped (not that i have one)

My point exactlly... (Not flaming you in any way 'Series 5' just saying thats my point)

My 2 cents, Allstar give great value and quality for price... I have used Richard to tun my pfc and for the money I could not be happier, that said Matt Spry has also had a crack at my pfc and he is equally impressive... Horses for courses... Richard is 5km down the road for me as where Matt is over 150km's...

Once again, like I said for every good experience you hear you will find a bad one... Its important to realise to make your own mind up about people and their attitudes and or services offered... Go and see a workshop with yoru own eyes and talk to the owner or managers and see for yourself how helpful they are and have a good look around the shop at the type of cars they are working on and that should give you a good idea of what they can do...

IE. You would not take you Moped to a performance dealer, you would go to a performance shop like the ones mentioned in this thread.

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      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.
