I use Xspeed, Ant is one of the best tuners around.

pitty he doesnt give a f**k about average joe customer....

hyperdrive know what they're doing, just hope you dont get booked in on a really busy day.

I must admit I had this impression of xspeed and actually went and spoke to them and ended up canceling my hyperdrive booking and going with them as they could do what I wanted quicker and for cheaper, except my cooler piping blew off down the free way, but who new xspeed did road side assist, this was a few years ago,

I chose asg for there recent reputation and closeness and vipec tuning,

Yep if you not spending 30k + they don't seem interested... they won't touch haltech either.

Edit: Was referring to XSpeed

Alot of places won't touch Haltech, maybe that is more to do with the ECU rather than the workshop.

nearly every person i talk to has something bad to say about x-speed which is why ive never gone there.

Haltech and Nistune are about the best serviced ECUs in Australia now.

Some shops have a short list of ECUs they know and wont use anything else.

^^ this is 100% BS maybe Australia but not WESTERN australia. there are only 2 places that will even touch a Haltech ecu and that is C-RED and Cypher.

edit: actually i have heard of one other place in Kenwick but it was so random and un-heard of i cant even remember the name

also the last time my mate got his haltech tuned by c-red it was pinging its tits off so much he took it to cypher and the bloke at cypher, he drives it in with 400ish rwhp 25det, gt35r .63 800cc sards, 044, 6boost 50mm tial etc and the guy says the max power it can make is was either 360 or 370 on 20lbs!? haltech + WA = FAIL

Haltech, Tuned by T&R Green, Topracing, Performance Unlimited, Garage101, Cred, Intune, RPW, Cypher, Rotormotion, GTI and a few Others.

I find current Haltechs easy to tune but the old versions have poor software.

where were you 6months ago when me and my mate where driving to about 10 garages to get his car tuned! :P none of them could even recommend anyone -except Mick at ovaboost said try cypher

+1 for hyperdrive.

Andrew definitely a great tuner. one of the first in perth to start doing nistunes i think

and does not do half ass tunes if they are busy... - that is complete bullshit.

i hate to start a shit fight but unless you work there full time and have done for years theres no way you could know exactly how every one of his tunes has gone. sure hes a good tuner but the last time i was there i left pretty dissapointed with his efforts, was very unproffesional.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
