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.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
