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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
