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.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
