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:

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
