Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good tuner around Ballina area.

Im heading up on the 14th of may for a wedding and im hoping to drop the car off at a tuner for the weekend..

Any recommendations would be good but i dont want to travel more than 2 hours or so each way since im pushed for time already.

Cheers

Don

Could go see Gavin Woods at labrador... dont think he works on the weekend though but i wouldnt have anyone else working on my car thats for sure :thumbsup:

Depends if you wanna leave your car with some guys or go watch and chat with your tuner, personally i like the personal touch and seeing the car on the dyno in person, bloody great entertainment..

There is always temptation to go for the big name guys with big teams of guys but i've learnt they are the ones to run from, cause you end up with an apprentice working on your R33 and the pro works on the 35GTR... see how you go :)

Iv asked some guys in sydney like jem about it and they were more worried about selling my a haltec ecu with all the goodies and not coming close to answering my questions i asked in the first place. But thanks for your input angry

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
