101 motorsport in slacks creek, have done a great job on mine and a few mates cars.... they have just moved shops though and it appears they havent sorted the phone out yet/ updated the web site

erd at yatla - halfway between brisbane and gold coast

Use ERD at Yatala for any mechanical work, they can't do tuning however - No dyno.

I use EFI around the corner from ERD. Great guys who do phenomenal work.

Myself and about 10 of my friends all get our cars tuned at Matty Spry at PITS.

Never had a drama and cars always drive a lot better than they did before.

Another mate has had his RB26/30 tuned by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsport and he did a good job also considering the car spends a lot of it's life near or on limiter and never had an issue until it spun a bearing. Going back there once it's rebuilt too for another tune. He runs a Vi-PEC which is Mark's preferred ECU as I understand.

GT Auto Garage has also been highly recommended to me by several people I know that are customers of theirs. I have a HKS F-CON V I have been thinking about running in my current car and they are the only place in QLD that can tune these and seem to have very good results with them.

They are basically the only 3 places I would consider in QLD.

yeah i was thinking along the lines of EFI, or GT Auto Garage, Ive spoken to a few different people in the know and they have said the Autronic, or HKS fcon thanks heaps guys ill have a look at these 2 guys !!! and has any one run either of these 2 ECU's? and can give me any feed back on them...

Had a power fc tuned by Matt Spry at PITS a few years back for the rb25 180. It had heaps of running problems going in with a different plenum etc but ran beautifully when I got it back. Power everywhere and perfect manners around town. I could not believe the difference and how nice it was to drive.

Also had Dyson Rotary from near Harbour Town run up a Microtech tune on the same car later with bigger turbo & fuel system after the power fc got stolen :( and that went fairly well too believe it or not. It was a bit more hairy around town and at partial, but the Microtech's are more like that anyway plus it was it was in a more advanced state of tune too so not a fair comparison.

There are actually quite a few good tuners around this area which is lucky...

EFI did a very good job on mine. Good power, Great response, Well behaved at traffic speeds and good on fuel. Most of the guys in the club use them and every one is happy.

+1 EFI are the best!!!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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).
