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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
