simple question...

have you had work done / car tuned by either of these workshops?

-- APC (Advanced Performance Centre) - Underwood

-- Millennium Motorsports - Tingalpa

-- Brisbane Tuning & Dyno Centre - Gabba

good and bad comments welcome, but send a PM if you need to cut loose :thumbsup:

Brisbane Tunning - yes i have both my R33 GTST and my 34 GTT , they are great for BASIC tune and service .. Turbo overhauls etc as they are HKS and Garett Autherised etc... service wise i wouldnt let anyone else apart from John do the Dyno runs .. as he knows his RB's if your looking at computer tunes etc.. id recommend Godzilla .. had my apexi tuned at Brisbane Turbo .. had a leaner tune to it .. now the car runs better more power at lower boost , mark knows his computer things and engines more then what john would...equally they are both great workshops both are resonable prized ..150 for a one hour dyno tune @ brisbane Turbo , Godzilla 200 a hour tune .. most time you only need hour and a half at the most ..

APC - My brother took his Evo9 tuned there for the reflash .. they are good for small jobs as well but be warned VERY Expensive !.. personally my experiance with them were nothing interesting ..with my RVR they did a crappy job on exhaust and intake install.. which was fixed with a few phone calls to nick .. so i cant really comment if they are good or bad .. average more for your evo fan i guess..

General Service Maintenance id go either Centrax or Sunnybank Signature Service great prices great service !

me and the wife had a run in with john at btt

it was enough for us never to go back, appart form the work they did was expensive and i had to get some of it fixed at motsons

i wouldnt go there

thanks again,

the reason behind my question... these 3 shops are Greddy/Trust dealers.

As some of you know, I've recently purchased an emanage Ultimate.

was thinking to get it installed by a dealer, as the 'safer' option (internal support from dealer to greddy, etc).

I'm in Sydney Jan/Feb, getting Croydon to do it is the other option.

if u have the opportunity of getting crd to do it, then by all means do what ever u can to make that happen!

I have been to BTT once and Im never going back. They have a downhill dyno (reads way to high) and i was not impressed with prices and the work they carried out on my car...

I would go to Matty Spry at P.I.T.S down the coast for a tune, he has been tuning my cars for about 4-5 years and has never given me a reason to go anywhere else..

Sorry to intrude on your thread Chris, but I think everyones missing the point.

He is not asking for alternative workshops, he wants to compair the "Greddy" authorised workshops around.

No doubt Matt is a great tuner I agree however he does not work with Greddy Ecu's at all.

1+ for matt at P.I.T.S plus he can have access to GREDDY direct support also... plus he knows most systems like the back of his hand anyways... he's been doin my car ever since the rebuild and he has given me no reason to look elsewhere

He might be able to gain access to dealer support like anyone who sells the product but he still does not work with the units, he said so himself.

Ill be the first to plug his work too if he was a suitable choice ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Da...y+day+with+matt

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
