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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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
