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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
