Anyone know if the trojan motorsport guys are on holidays or have shut up shop or what? I have tried ringing them a couple times a day for the past week or so and cant get a hold of them. My computer wont even log onto the website either, I just get an error message.

The number i used to call them was 6242 6277 which I got out of the whitepages and then confirmed with a couple of different websites through google.

Any info on the topic would be great!

Every shop has up and down stories. Autotech had a rough time a while back, though even recently there's quite a few people who will neve take their car back there.

Trojan did manage to fix and tune my car far better then CRD ever did, though CRD only had 4 weeks, where it took trojan 3 months.

Ultimates will do nistune if you have the software, you dont need a license for a once off tune, u can just download the program from their site and use it as a trial and next time u re tune just uninstall and re install again.

Never heard of ultimates. Where abouts are they?

I'm really keen on a nistune, but if there's only one place to get them tuned here then it's probably not the best option. It's a shame ESP doesn't do them as I have heard nothing but praise for there work...

:thumbsup: yes it is a shame.

I've asked and there deadset against NIStune. They will refer you to Autotech.

Did you end up getting a nistune or did you go something else?

When I talked to ESP about ecu upgrades such as the EMU (Which they said isn't great) the guy I talked to pretty much said my only option was haltech, which is overkill for my needs. I think they were trying to upsell because they make slot off them.

ESP is mainly Vipec and Haltech and they like em for good reason.

Although they say

"We are agents and tuners of ViPEC, Haltech, HP tuners VCM Suite, Herrod SCT Flash box, Wolf Ecu, Power FC, Emanage Ultimate and Blue. We also have a large amount of experience in Motec, Autronic and Microtech ECU’S"

Your after an Emanage Ultimate and I suspect they are right. I'm sure also their prefrence is with Haltech and Vipec as they are good and yes it may be more than you need.

So I suppose you have what you have and they should work with that.

Have you given much consideration to NIStune and Autotech if your on a budget and dont want/need all the bells and whistles of the Haltech, ViPEC (G4).

Ive been looking for about 6 months fo an ecu upgrade for my 32 gtst... Very hard to find.

Basically you are limited to what can be tuned in Canberra (who can do it).

Ive found theres Haltech $3200, several tuners; or Nistune $1200 only one place (Auototech hume)

Or some piggyback rip off crud... plenty of them.

I know Nistune is technically piggyback but it gets good reviews so im getting that.

I cant get an Apexi fc for mine, but you can for the 33, but i dunno if anyone here can tune it well.

Critical decision, take your time, ring the mechanics, make a good choice. Good luck.

Yeh $3200 installed and tuned was what ESP told me as well for the haltech. Im sure they are great, but when im only trying to get to 260rwkw at the most, it seems unnecessary and would mean i have to compromise in other places to stay within the amount im willing to spend altogether.

Ive done heaps of research and was leaning towards the EMU before the negative reviews from local tuners and am now pretty much set on the nistune with the z32 ecu for my 33gtst. Mainly because it is able to do everything I want and is comparably cheaper. The only downside to it is there being really only one place that installs and tunes them, which means i would have to get all my other upgrades put on there as well. Plus autotech is ages away from my house and i havent heard anything much about the places in terms of quality of work etc...

Nistune nistune nistune do it.

I spent days and hours upon hours researching it.

Just say stfu to local tuners and go to Sydney.

Also go the 32 Ecu with a window switch to control VCT

People might say keep it local but really?

Cheaper and possibly better tune you can't go wrong heading up to Sydney.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
