I've been to Powertune.

Wasn't happy. I knew what my SR20 had a boost leak.

"No that's not it"

I insisted 5 times it was a boost leak

"Nah you've plumbed this in wrong, and its your 02 sensor"

Took 2 hours for an apprentice to fit something on a fully qualified mechanic could of done in 1.

$200 bill. Drive off and car still runs like shit.

Go to Unigroup $60 later turns out the bov was leaking. So yea IT WAS A BOOST LEAK.

The end.

Not to be a ass but Unigroup has told me a lot of customers are coming back from Powertune to them to fix there cars

Unigroup said the same thing to me. I thought Powertune was the shit from what I saw, now I have seen the light in Unigroup. Maybe they are only interested in people who do big dollar builds. Meh.

So glad I didn't take it there it's like 2 from my houses to

Yea that was a big bonus for Powertune. They are very close where I live.

Wont be seeing a single cent from me ever again.

My mate (actual mate not mate's mate's brother's butcher's mate) had his tune stuffed by them. Couldnt get a SR20 black top in a sil80 with GT2871r working properly. I thought this was standard shit for them? Which again returns to my theory of them only caring if you spend big bucks.

Agree. After the tech night I decided to go with JEM for some light work. The consultation and professionalism were top notch. Picked the car up tonight and its in great shape, running awesome. They went the extra mile in more than a few areas. They love cars and take pride in their work.

259kw @14psi with stock turbos, haltech, EBC, injectors, fuel pump, front pipes, cat and exhaust. Switched over to e85 too in preparation for a nice big single some time in the future (hope soon). Definitely need more power now!

Hey Nick,

Thank you for the comments.

A nice gt35r or even a gtx35r setup , head studs drop in cams intercooler and upgraded pumps we can expect 420kws from a standard motor.

For now enjoy the car and if you have any questions please call us.

Joe happy to hear that the car came out the way you wanted.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
