They took our jerb...

Don't you need a working visa or sponsor or some crap?

you usually need a business to sign-off or sponsor the visa application.

...see where this is going?

australia is massive.

there is no best tuner, and often the tuners with the best rep, usually have that cos the guys they are tuning have only used one tuner.

no that's not a riddle.

get a working holiday visa champ just like the other 50000 irish fellas then just dont go home. easy.

also how old are you?

but id be contacting rajab. god of tuning.

or look for someone in cairns. earn more money and its all backpackers up there.

Well lads, thanks for the info, I am 28 and I am thinking of permanently moving over with my wife and child so back packer working holiday is out of question!

Done a little research into it over last wnkd and I qualify for permanent visa, however I need to get my skill assessment done, English test etc, plus I am not Irish but Polish residing in Ireland for last 15 years!

I am excellent in what I do and I take a massive pride in my work and I want to continue doing it for as long as I can so no change in career!

Wife is sort of pushing for Adelaide... Any info on thou thing are there?

Ill be taking my 2 skylines, 180 and my rolling road over with me as well

The visa process takes around 9-10 months and ill have to finalise all my business affairs here as well so it might not happen for next 24months!

But it would be nice to arrive and have job organised to land into or at least some prospect of one!

I'm sure if you ask around long enough you will find somewhere but keep in mind that most places are 1 tuner shops. So to go to 2 tuners would be quite a jump for them. Of course most shops have other guys as helping hands who like to try their hands at tuning so they'll also be waiting for a spot to open up - you might have to join these guys and let your skills push you to the front of the line.

Then again, If you're any good I'd suggest you open your own business. Just remember that not very many are making much money at the end of the day (unless you want to do some chop-shop work on the side).

Considering you are moving to Australia with a wife and child you best make sure you know what a liveable wage is over here. ie. rent, food prices, insurance, etc. You wouldn't want to be working for long earning less than $60k in Melbourne or Sydney. I mean there is something to be said for doing what you love but a half-decent wage is considered $80k+. Median wage in Melbourne/Sydney is around $75k.

If there is a growing business over here it's in Euro cars mods, reflashes, diesels, DPF filter removal, etc. This is where being from Ireland might help. Modding Jap cars has become more about catering to the hard-core (ie. no money) crowd.

FWIW: Yavuz at Unigroup Engineering is also considered a top-notch tuner. You got nothing to lose emailing him but I'm not saying he's taking anyone on. In saying that you probably won't get a reply. I didn't get a reply when I was looking for someone to tune my car after 2 emails and 2 phone calls.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
