Does anyone know of anything like this in WA?

Are any tuners doing these sorta lessons anywhere else? Or is it mostly a thing you only learn when you're in the industry? (i.e. work for a performance workshop)

I too attended the Jan 30 group.

Found it highly informative,,,well run and I learned heaps.

I didn't go to actually learn how to tune my car (which I can now),,,I went so I can look over my tuners shoulder and know exactually why he's doing the changes he's doing or more importantely questioning why he's doing said changes.

Thanks guys.

Cheers

As far as I know a few of the ECU manufacturers do training days, possibly in WA. Their training is specific to their ECU and it is much like a lecture-style of teaching, much like uni lectures - You sit down and listen in a large group, get taught a set course and there may be an opportunity to ask questions or talk to the teacher. What's done here is completely the opposite - you tell us what you want to learn, you get taught via a mix of theory and practical, you have all day to ask questions and you also actually go and use the dyno. So it depends on what you want really.

At Unigroup Engineering, the head tuner is a university degree certified mechanical engineer who is truly passionate about engine design and tuning, so much and so good that he was invited by the university of technology, sydney, to speak on the very subject. He actually does know what he's talking about both from experience and from an engineering perspective. I don't know of any other tuner at this level. :worship:

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
