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

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
