Vange - I have had good service and results from Turbo Tune, so I wouldn't worry. Michael has tuned my S15 for 2 years and always has a safe/rich tune (at my request), and will not try to get every last rwkw at the risk of detonating an engine (like some other tuners around will).

Every workshop has people who have had bad experiences, so don't worry about what everyone has to say.

My car was last there 2 months ago and I am very happy. Lots of the stories you will hear are from x years ago - so aren't really up to date. That said, everyone is human and every single workshop has had some sort of mistake or failure that people will always tell you about. You hear little of good reports.

However, Boostworx is one workshop I have heard nothing but good things about. Maybe get Shaun to put it on his dyno just to make sure the tune and afrs look ok - if you are worried, that is.

Graham West on Marion Rd can tune the eManage.

I only ever did a power run on their dyno, so can't vouch for their work, but from talking to them they seem like really a good bunch down there.

yeh im not worried, was happy with the boost controller they put on, n he set it at max 10psi so i dont blow anyting. seems 2 b running ok anyway...got new sparkies as well, the others were stuffed lol.

i might have 2 get it re-dynoed cos since it was last dynoed i had new clutch, new spark plugs and hiflow cat.

was thinking of getting a emanage, how much they cost 2 get installed, prob do the fuel pump as well...any1 know if the fuel economy gets better or worse with an emanage or better fuel pump?

i get mine done at hitech dyno on south rd, so does Phu 'PHUMAN' and he highly recommends it. Boostworx wouldnt touch my emanage ultimate, the guy said he had to call John (hitech) to get it to work as he couldnt figure it out??? I was shocked. Still got my fuel pump done there and is fine. Should be getting my emanage ultimate put in before the up coming cruise

Whats to be shocked about. Shaun specialises in Power FC's and Microtech computers...Hitech may know emanage and something else. You cant expect everyone to know everykind of computer out there...

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
