Yes I have used the search function and it seems to give me a lot of older information.

Any recent experiences people have had with tuners in perth? I'm hoping to get an emanage ultimate thrown on my 1uzfe to deal with the cams and exhaust, seems like xspeed is almost the only option here. Not sure if they'd even try to tune a 1uz.

I've had mixed results about other tuners, mostly that they don't like to tune the emanage, although I need a piggy back that can raise the limiter to suit the cams and springs, and so far I haven't seen any other piggy backs with that option.

Any info greatly appreciated.

No not as of yet, trying to gather what info I can and so far have only managed to find that 1 place (xpeed) with the emanage listed. Going to keep looking around though, I did hear that xspeed backbench jobs a bit.

My car has already been in the workshop for 9 weeks just for cams, and still no idea how much longer.

I'm trying to steer clear of old info though as things change quickly in the industry it seems, hence the new thread.

Ah thanks, really hoping to find someone that can do the emanage ultimate though, want to keep stock knock sensor protection and auto control for now. I've ready bunch about people wanting to use the emanage ultimate but they seem to vanish before posting any results. :-|

I don't think the haltech would have any ignition control to raise the limiter

1. Copy list from the workshop sticky thead of the tuners in Perth.

2. Call said workshops and ask if they tune item X, if not do they recomend something that will do what you want.

3. Once you have found a workshop that seems good, ask for people experiance's with them and if they have given you an alternative unit, what experiance people have had with said unit.

4. Hand over the $$ and enjoy.

Thanks to those with useful info, unfortunately it looks like I fed the trolls by accident. My bad.

(edit:) Before someone decides to chime in with derogative remarks, wether it's because they're bored or because I'm not a skyline owner, I'd like to mention that workshop list was posted in 2007. And while it's a handy list I was chasing more recent information and I find asking in a forum section full of Western Australian drivers who (mostly) drive performance cars to be rather efficient, compared to ringing up every place in the directory and have them all pursuade me that they are a great workshop. Search results bring up plenty of threads of people talking about which tuner they might use, but I seem to be unable to find any actual "results".

I like efficiency.

Lamb chops are good also.

i agree to an extent, the biggest problem with asking on a forum though is your only allowed to say good things about workshops. if anyone posts a bad experience about a "reputable" workshop it simply gets deleted. so dont take everything you read as gospel

See if I hadn't have asked I wouldn't have a clue who Tristan is either, because it wasn't in the list :-) Pepperoni pizza is the bomb.

Guess I just gotta hope to catch the bad experience replies before they get deleted heh. Im going to have a chat to Tristan to see what he thinks. Thanks guys.

Trying to avoid being a Guinea pig as a lot of tuners I've come across haven't tried to tune a 1uzfe "But would love to try to"

I love the sound of the Audi S5 v8, would have to say the 1uzfe has a similar noise.

Allstar, last I heard they don't like tuning the piggyback I want, but that being said I can't choose the computer until I find the right tuner. And I read somewhere hyperdrive also don't like them (Emanage Ulti)

Whilst the Consolidated Workshop thread was originally posted in 2007, it gets constantly updated with new info as provided by members, as I believe it requests in the thread. The fact that no one has ever mentioned WTF Auto previously is the reason its not in the thread. So to avoid countless threads like this one, it was created so that people could contact the tuners themselves and make there own opinions as to who to use. Please feel free to PM me details (in the correct format) of WTF Auto and I'll add them to the Consolidated Workshop thread to keep it up to date :thumbsup:

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
