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.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
