I'm not looking for the cheapest tune I'm looking for the safest and best tune so

How about you talk to each workshop, and decide yourself?

There are a billion bad storeis, a billion good ones.

Go there and work it out in person.

Both have good rep so I guess its whats closer to you and what you personally choose. I myself got a tune at status and no complaints.

What he said.

But best you talk to them yourself and get to know them, all for the better.

yeah good point iv had a chat to status and he quoted around $800 for nistune and repmap (depending if my clutch or coilpack hold out )

havent personaly had a chat to chases but i was more wondering what peoples experiences were like because a mate got quoted cheaper at chasers but its about the quality of the tune (i dont know much about it they could tell me there changing the polarity of the flux capasiter and i would belive them lol)

just thort id ask before i made the mistake of going for the cheaper option !!

trent is a mate and has spent countless hours on my car, so i will rep him till the cows come home :D his tunes are as good as you will get and he specialises in nistune.

chasers are also excellent. paul has been flown overseas to tune cars on multiple occasions

you really can go wrong with either option

Trent from Status (Chequered) Tuning is a member on SAU, you can PM him for any questions, I have meet him at a SAU General Meeting and my mechanic has heard only good things about his work.

Members on here will agree with me.

SAU memeber Ujin (Kenny) had his R32 GTR tuned at Chasers with a wicked 350+ kW's and it is an awesome piece of machinery.

Well if you know nothing about the tune and so on - then how will you know if you do/don't get a bad one?

Well that's why I'm asking !!!!!

where are you located? the workshops you mention are on opposite sides of melbourne..

I'm in cranbourne but work in footscray so ether one is fine

I'm looking at going with DND with Nistune. I was all keen to go with Trent but he's $250 more expensive. I'm certainly not going to suggest he's not worth that extra coin, but I am on a pretty tight budget so $250 is $250. And at the end of the day I figure most/all of the tuners on here are going to be fairly well respected. If they were no good they would have been figured out by now and essentially run out of town so I reckon it would be difficult to go wrong with any of 'em.

That's my 2c anyway :D

Yeah good if there on here to begin with then it's a fair chance they are going to do a good job after all a forum like this can kill there name if there not doing a good job !!!

Thanks to the people with helpful replys

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
