every tuner has their share of groupies and fan boys so of course everyone is gonna recommend different tuners and say something bad about another.

go with whoever you feel comfortable with, suits your budget and is near you (unless you don't mind travelling further for them)

generally if the tuner is down to earth and friendly, it means good service. if they're pricks and think they're better than you just because they're a tuner, i'd walk away. (alot of big time workshops have this attitude cause you are just small fish and only need a tune).

i've used powertune before, wasn't the best experience/service, however Jez - wonderful service and a friendly fella, you will not be disappointed.

would've went to JEM before powertune but they couldn't fit me into their schedule,

Thanks for everyone with there input to this subject I had a chat with dean from jem very nice bloke down to earth I will keep everyone updated when the car comes back with the new dyno sheet up in this suction

Don't get too caught up with dyno figures though. I think JEMs dyno reads pretty low compared to others and also Adam will tune for excellent driveabilty for the street.

When I had mine retuned by JEM after adding a bigger exhaust and intercooler I was disappointed to see that the killer wasps had actually decreased compared to the number I got from a previous dyno (albeit a hub dyno).

Once I drove the car though, there was no doubt that the power had increased enormously all through the rev range.

Some places tune for Dyno numbers, Adam at JEM will tune for exceptional driveability and real world results.

Just my 2 cents :)

My post numbers are pretty low and I haven't quite figured out how to access this info. Are you able to help me out with where to find it?

I recommended JEM, perhaps, in retrospect, I should have just put: JEM +1 without any reasons or ellaboration as to why I would recommend them to help you out. If you look back over other comments none have provided reasons, I did. I also did not say they were better, as I have no experience with DVS.

The dyno figure seems high that "Envy" provided for -5s, coming from a qualified mechanic that has built a few. In fact, one of my builds is going to JEM next week that is extremely similar to what you have, hence the interest. Also, from past experience there is a lot more to a good tune than just an outright Kw figure. My intention was to draw the focus away from the outright figure, as this often leads to disappointment when there is no longevity factored into the tune for a street car where your expected outcome "is not 460kw but higher" on that set up.

The intention was to assist - the responses make me wonder why I bothered in the first place. Welcome to SA for the new guy! :/

Haha nice! That is always a good thing :) I talk pretty highly of them, there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff they have done to get my car to where it is that is not shown on the forum etc...

In saying that, i also support the suggestions for DVS JEZ in here and always will as he has been nothing but willing to help for me and many other SAUers on here :D

Thanks for posting this. Could I impose for more detail about the set up that was tuned at Envy and whether it's exactly the same that is going to be tuned by JEM and some detail about motor?

Valves - [oversize or standard size]

Intake manifold and throttle/s [standard or oversize aftermarket]

Intercooler [what size brand]

Head - Ported and polished

Block - [standard or grout fill]

Oil pump - [brand]

water pump - [brand]

Turbos - -5s [what A/Rs and are they antisurge impeller housings]

Compression ratio

Exhaust system incl manifold

Crank - [standard, work done or aftermarket]

Pistons - [forged but are they teflon and/or ceramic treated]

Rods - [brand]

Wastegates - [standard or modified]

Fuel [E85, but what set up]

balancer - [standard or a/m]

A/C still on?

Computer [Haltech ?]

Any lightening of driveline components?

Was the car tuned in awd?

Sorry for the million and one questions, but this will make an awesome thread for others to get reliable data from once the new dyno sheet goes up. Thanks again.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
