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.

    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no? 
    • What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.
    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
