hey guys...would love to get some opinions out in the open about peoples tuners and how they like them . any bad experiences?? .from anywhere... even more specifically if anyone has used sabbinden automotive.?? love to see feed back on here..

but yeah nice and open...

You cant badmouth a business or anything here...

And anyone that is going to praise somewhere - is going to say they are 11/10 now aren't they?

This thread IMO wont ever attain anything but blowing the wind up the usual workshops, which isnt a bad thing, but we've seen that many threads about it now you could search and forever be in peace.

right...3 in Sydney...Jim Souvas CRD, Yavus Unigroup and Adam JEM

1 in Melbourne Ben Racepace

1 in Brisbane Mark Godzilla

you can bad mouth a product freely on here but not a business...which doesn't make sense

you can say (insert brand name) turbo's are crap which may be a massive multinational company but you cannot say Tommy Tuner down the road is not the one to go to.

I know what id be more worried about...a multinational with an army of lawers than some dodgy rip-off with his ass hanging out of his trousers.

not having a dig...its just something about this site that has always been questionable.

i'll add Trent @ Status... only because it's not really a usual suspect on these boards. Racepace/RE Customs, Creatd, etc... for melb peeps are quite well known.

But despite how insanely busy Trent seems to be, Status tuning doesn't seem to get a whole lot of notice. Ridiculously knowledgeable and is the ONLY person i've come across who actually cares about at cars paintwork when he's working on it!! Never have i ever seen any mechanic/tuner come remotely close to worrying about paint, etc. And for an amateur detailer, that is a massive bonus.

i'm assuming the original poster is looking for Melb shops judging from sabaddin. Have heard lots of good things about sabaddin as well.

Definately good work put in by Ray @ RE Customs.. couldnt be happier! :P

Another RE Customs fan here. Great work.

Had to go to another workshop to get RWC done and they pinched the cam seal causing a leak so went straight back to RE

Speedtech Motorsport do all the tuning on my car, have done great things with it and solved some real headaches with the car. Not that it will be of any use to you guys, they are in NZ - but nonetheless haha.

They also tune the quickest/most powerful GTR in the world :blink:

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
