Without going into all the crazy variables Udi that can cause a car to detonate even before its first run...

The high reputation tuning shops around Sydney include...

* Unigroup Eng

* DVS_Tuning

* Croydon Racing Development

* Just Engine Management

* Tune House

* Powertune

* Pulse Racing

* Dart Automotive

* Rigoli Bros

Now you may wish to narrow down that list depending on what ECU you have installed, but most Members here have had good things to say about those tuners. Most will be happy to discuss

* your needs

* the state of your car

* modifications required

* progress reports

* projected limits

* computer overlays of your car's performance with another's with the same mods

Please note that I have deliberately omitted the attempt to achieve a particular power figure - because that will be sorted out in your relationship with the tuner. A tuner has every right to be suss about a demanding/dictatorial client.

DVS Tuning

Can't fault Jez's work, he is very passionate about his work, and not in it just to pump cars out and make heaps of cash.

He won't let a car leave the shop till he knows its spot on. And also won't offer ridiculous advise unless his sure.

That's the diffrence between the bigger shops and jez.

That's the experience I have to share.

mate your going to get a whole different range of answers........when I did my engine swap, turbo/ecu/injectors/clutch/rear hub swap/remove hicas upgrades I used drift garage (Louis). they were local for me and Louis knows what he's doing, didn't talk any shit, asked what I wanted from the car. He doesn't have the garage anymore but he works for powertune now, from what I hear and see they are pretty good

I have a mate who got his r33 tuned by them and blew his motor in 7 months lol

That would have had nothing to do with the tune and more how the car was treated, maintained or whether it was due to a part failure etc

All reputable tuners would not let a car leave with a bad tune (it is their bread and butter after all). Plus most tuners log every dyno run (I know mine does) so to put the blame on the tuner after 7 months is absolutely laughable.

There's a shop on that list that tuned my car 3 weeks before I picked it up from the previous owner, and the tune was so far out of whack it almost ruined my engine.

Was way lean to the point it would run really hot and after a decent hit though the hills it would get hot on the temp gauge.

And also the cam timing, was back wards, they had the timing setup so far out that it was as if it was as if it was Down on compression. 100psi type shit.

So as for reputable workshops not letting a car leave unless its perfect, it's abit hard if the workshop doesn't no how to make the car perfect in the first place. Or doesn't know there's anything wrong.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
