i just wanted to no how is good really good

Depends on your budget - ring around and see which tuner fits your needs.

Some are cheaper, some are more expensive - and often price can be reflective of the tune - NOT always however (before people get too crazy).

I've had Dr.Drift tune my car years ago when he first started out, no issue at all.

Racepace now does all my work being i have a RB26 and well, they go hand in hand like many other gtr/rb26 owners

Racepace is generally regarded as the best in Victoria for RBs.... just because that's what they specialise in, especially GTRs. Like Techsport for Evos.

When day in day out, all you're dealing with is RBs - you will have more connections, access to parts, and above all experience than anyone else. Just a pity they are in Bayswater though :D

anyone take there car to chasers? do people think there generally good?

The big advantage is that they are virtually in the middle of the City, 2 mins drive from the CBD. That was the main reason I got my GTR tuned there with bigger turbos, injectors etc. They also have an AWD dyno, and a decent tuner (Paul) of Motec fame. Their prices are also very reasonable. I am quite happy with my tune.

Keep in mind though that they tune everything, so not exactly a Skyline specialist. A lot of skyline parts need to be ordered as they can't possible keep everything for all the cars they tune in stock, so you will spend time waiting around for the parts to arrive. eg., took 3 months to get the parts I need... still waiting on some. And as with most workshops - overestimate how much time they will take to tune your car. At least double the amount of time they tell you.

Basically, comparing Chasers and Racepace... think of it like you're a Japanese Samurai who needs a sword. You can go to downtown Kyoto to King of Swords or whatever its called, and get a serviceable katana. But they also sell butcher's cleavers and cooking knives. If you have the ryo to spend and the time to walk, take a trip into the mountains to the sword guru. He does not want to be widely known, he doesn't have flyers in the middle of town, and he lives in a very remote and dangerous place. His location and knowledge of the magic of the swords he forges - legends, national treasures even, are only passed through the hushed whispers of the faithful. He uses mystical techniques that no-one else knows, and all the swords he makes are the sharpest in the business.

yeah righteo :) , wasn't really necessary to write a full page of mumble jumble about a swordsman but anyway,

if i was in melb, i'd go to Trent @ status tuning, love the work that his done, esp that 1000+hp GTT.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
