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:

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
