I'm going through imports101 actually. So they basically do a to ur door service. Organise everything and other than pay them money (the hardest part!) you don't HAVE to do anything. I'm getting Danny to give me run downs on everything that is getting down, how they go about it, who they go through, etc etc so next time (cmon, you all know there'll be one :P) I can do it myself, or at least the majority anyway).

So I guess my answer is I'll tell you how I (they) went about it when its done :D

Boostworx is also good.

Shaun tunes the better known hipo street Skylines getting around Adelaide.

Not to mention he's pulled ~280rwkw out of a stock RB25DET & an internal gate turbo, it appears to be holding together perfectly fine.

What better known Skylines has Shaun tuned?

I'd recommend Mark Tilbrook from personal experience.

he tuned one of our member "whatisname"'s car, which has 299.1rwkw? :)

i go to boostworx as well, it's good to go to a workshop that the owner has loads of exp. and he is the only one do all the job.

Looks like Mark Tilbrook uses Tim Possingham to tune these days.

Tim is a good tuner. He tunes safe.

If Tim is tuning the car I don't have an issue. If its some other hack then I wouldn't get my car tuned at Tilbrooks.

Back to boostworx.

Freebaggin (~280kw on stock motor) & whatsisname 299.1rwkw.

Darrens R32 RB30DET (that will be making upwards of 350rwkw soon) and my RB30DET (~300rwkw) will also be tuned there once it is run in.

It really depends where you live..

Down southish - Boostworx.

Up North - Tilbrooks (Providing its Tim that does the tune)

Always a topic that generates much debate (mostly heated!)

I know both Tim (Tilbrooks main tuner) and Shaun (Boost worX) personally. Both are excellent blokes and both have a wealth of performance tuning knowledge. I would recommend either of them for tuning work.

For all round tuning 'and' performance work I would recommend Shaun without hesitation. I have been taking my car to Boost worX for some time now. Before that I used RPM (once owned by Tim and later managed by Shaun!). As I know Shaun reasonably well he always looks after me. I have never used Tilbrook Auto and Dyno but I do know and have chatted to Mark on many occasions. He is a decent bloke.

i kno tilbrooks has experience with skylines. he dyno'd my mates et and got 100fwkw outta it runnin on 15psi. but he had a fairl bad fuel dump. tilbrooks was recommended to my mate by the mechanic at jap-tech

RPM are under new management.

I don't think they are dodgy.

I used to take my car there when Tim owned it a couple of years ago.

Since then up until this RB30DET I haven't really done any mods (Rb30det's are damn expensive) :/

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
