I think one thing to note is that tuning is something of an art, opinion, appraisal.

One tuner will always pick apart someone elses tune.

You go back to the original tuner, ask him about the apparent discrepancies and I'm sure there'll be some justification, excuse etc.

You can only go by people's past record and good word.

Does anyone know if the hitman will tune a factory ecu? (using a ROM emulator + chip burner?)

Got a daughterboard in my ecu and now with more mods need to get that baby tuned!

hmmm i'm contemplating doing (what might be a silly move) and going with a somewhat unknown workshop/garage out at berowra, i've mentioned them before and have heard alright things from on here and really good things from outside.

had a chat to him a few weeks ago and was pretty convinced.

i'm just scared of the old saying you get what you pay for, (dont know what he charges anyway but it would probably be less than the bigger well known workshops) coming to bite me on the bum.... but then again if that was 100% accurate everone would have the exact same most expensive tune and others would be out of business

will keep you informed

The worse case is that you hanging over all parts you want them to put in, and discover later that they have been replace with something different..and you went back there and they denied..

Also make sure you don't rely on the simple dyno print out; number could be faked, unless it's done in shootout mode....

I don't have one (yet, maybe will get one)

but I would probably go to CRD, my friend works there and I Have heard numerous good things. had a couple of small things done and no problems.

other then that, I was chatting to a guy last night who has an S15 and has had it tuned by hitman a couple times and had no probs

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
