Hey guys

I need a tuner, I was thinking Bel Garage as I never hear anything except good things about them.

Id like any feedback - Positive in the thread and negative Pm'd to me.

Please dont suggest CRD as a tuner. No way id trust them with my car.

Anyone else is fine.

FYI I want a tune up not a full tune, But ill let the tuner discuss that with me.

Thanks

Nathaniel

No comment on CRD, Its negative.

Hitman, Against him too. Prob feel stronger avoiding him than CRD

Unigroup is an option, He seems to geniuinely care for cars however he doesnt do tune ups only retunes supposedly. $450 for basic and $750 for full.

ive had a negative experience with them too...but Jim at CRD is the best skyline tuner in Sydney...by far.

Dont take it to Unique...if anyone wants to know why they can PM me

Id double check with unigroup again.

When I first got my powerFC he said he could do one of 2 tunes for me. A basic or a full tune

I went the full tune as when Ive done more mods he has only spent a little time for the touch up for the new mods.

Otherwise there is JEM...they are down south?

unigroup would be my 2nd choice if i had to make one.

Hey guys sorry to hijack, what's the general consensus about Mick's Motorsport? I'm having my turbos fitted there and considering a tune with a Haltech E11 there as well. Anyone with overly negative comments feel free to PM me :blush:

Yavuz at unigroup is a good guy. I havn't been there yet....

but when i had some queries about power differences, Yavuz researched things for me for a few days and got back to me with a range of options suiting different sorts of budgets.

DiRT - the tune was originally done by Godzilla motorsport in qld any chance he'll be on his way to sydney?

he now tunes our drag car and we fly him down to Newcastle when needed. We like to line up a few cars and do them all in one day to make it cost effective for everyone

Sweet, dont think I can wait that long unfortunately.

Thanks for letting me know however.

Decided Unigroup I think, everyone reports good things and when I say everyone I mean everyone.. So ill drop in, he open sat?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
