Yeah - account suspended...

Such a shame; always liked the people there, and the knowledge and competence of the service dept was excellent. Hope they can consolidate and get back up and running with stronger "operations".

Also sucks for the people with orders outstanding.

Got my order that I ordered on Jan 18.. today (original eta was 5 days)

There's also the small problem of half the order missing, and no invoice. 'tis good. But they did send me an email about it, so, I suppose all is not entirely lost for those in a similar situation.

i just recently got my order, over a month after the E.T.A., they said that the previous posting of the goods was sent back twice but i think thats crap as two days after i threatened consumer affairs and legal acction my goods arrived express posted

Jim and Tony at Tunehouse are top guys, great and easy to deal with.. They have had an area in the traders on SAU for a while but nothing has come of it it seems.. I've brought my car there a few times and they've been great! Their dyno room resembles a medical theater!

Another thumbs up here for Tunehouse. Love the tune they did for my car with Power FC. No huge plumes of black smoke like some FC equiped cars seem to love, great fuel economy, smooth running and problem free since it was tuned about 1 year ago now.

Oh, and once again, Powerplay are not out of business technically. They are still doing car servicing, fitting parts etc. They are also apparently ordering parts online when requested. They have closed the shop front and will no longer be stocking parts...

HOWEVER! Trying to get responses from them is VERY difficult. So unless you are extremely patient like me, then I honestly can't recommend them.

I only continue to go back to them because Alistair has always looked after all of my cars exceptionally well. He is truly passionate about his work, and has great attention to detail for even little things that needed fixing that you may not even have noticed.

ok i like the sound of this tunerhouse, did check the website out and googled the location, its only a short bus trip away so as much as i love the guys at F&E mechanics out in Wetherill Park they are just too far away :(

They mention being 'good value' on the website but the place looks far too shmick to be much of a bargain. I know that Bel garage in Rockdale charge and arm and a leg while also being good. Is it a case of if you want peace of mind then you just have to bite the bullet and be prepared to shell out the big bucks?

Yeah they're not amazingly cheap or anything but I guess in the end you generally get what you pay for, and any time my car has ever been there I've been kept well up-to-date with any issues and costs that arise before anything is done about them.. (though this only stands out to me after a previous bad non-skyline non-Tunehouse related incident a few years ago thumbsup.gif)

I've also taken my cars to Tony and Jim at Tunehouse and been very happy. As Eiresgaus said they're not the cheapest, but I'd rather pay a bit more for people that provide good customer service and know what they're doing, than the alternative.

Haven't had a tune there, but my GTR is one of few that has an HKS FConPro V and they are a licensed HKS reseller and tuner, one of the few places in the country who can tune these apparently.

They were working on one of the Z tunes [Z TUNED] a while back.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
