I would go with Jem

Unless you get your whole build done at Powertune they won't look after you customer service is shit tune shit never again my brother got his car tuned there

First tune chea didn't even tune it someone else name Lui did

worse was on the print out it said s15 when it was a s13

said it made 240 odd kw

Ran very rich blew smoke laggy and couldn't even run a 12s at wsid 110mph power wasn't right old setup tuned by toshi 210rwkw ran that.

Smaller turbo std cams

Went for a retune but specifically asked Chea to tune it made only 220rwkw something this time round but drove better no smoke but low power

When I picked it up kenji said it made good power when it made less than before and for the mods it was very low and didnt even say or help guide me into what was wrong

My other brothers car tuned by Unigroup same setup bar cams made 250rwkw

This s13 tuned by Powertune made 220odd rwkw

Both had sr20det,bc cams springs,gt3071r,740cc injectors and z32afm

Usually at wsid 1/4 mile trap speeds

210rwkw - 110mph

230rwlw - 117mph

250rwkw - 121mph I've personally tested this

Yet the first tune at Powertune was only running 13.0 at 110mph and they said it made 240rwkw don't even think they tune it the first time

Spent almost $1000 got no where

Nope j.e.m only going to ring around Monday morning

Not that I am local, but I have been around here for a while and have seen only evidence of good work and equally important great attitude to customers from JEM and would be going to them if I were in that area.

And because 34GeeTeeTee haha

i use powertune.

first tune was excellent.

started and idled great.

ran very smoothly.

now a completely different set up.

have done run in tune.

a few issues arose, but were sorted.

going back for power tune when I have the cash.

ive had nothing but excellent customer service, and only good things to say.

I also built the car myself, so they havnt touched the mechanical.

also done the first mods myself.

talk to both.

both have a good overall reputation.

pm a couple of people on here with cars of similar setups, and ask where theirs were done.

get a feel for both.

also, in saying I use powertune, jem would be a close second for me.

either way good luck.

Its the same distance towing than driving :P. Im not far from you Luke and I take it to Jez.

It's all personal preference. Where you feel comfortable leaving your car, go with it. If they bugger up, don't go back. If they are good, you found your shop. Talk to as many shops as you can.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
