Rotomotion is the go for Microtech.

Chris mills does not own the workshop anymore he now runs the shop out the front.

They do a lot of Asian cars there now and tuned many of the Fast friday cars last week both Trev and asian.With the equipment in Chris mills performance service and Dyno center

there is not much that cant be done there inc full engine building inc in house machine shop

etc.

AJ is and has long been a respected Tuner.

With SST now closed I don't know of realy decent place that respects you as a client.

Thats what it is!

It's the owners that set the standards of the shop and take time to get to know you and your car. Most people around town are only concerned with money and having a drink at the end of the day.

Not much has been spoken of AJ's tuning at Speedworks. Has anybody on here had their car tuned at Speedworks? Also, does AJ tune PFC?

hey gtst89, my friends car was tune by speedworks and he is more than happy with the results i have been in the car and what can i say the car is making over 400rwhp with a rom-tune ecu without 1 problem :P many people have said speedworks to be slow etc but my friend said if ur paying customor it isnt slow :D

also banned on here had his r32 gtr built/tune by them and he was happy 2 :D

who would be best to get my R33 GTS-T with a microtech LT-12 tuned by?

This will sound lame after all the wondrous advice previously given but we can tune your microtech.

Failing that , Mick at Ovaboost is very good and has some quick Nissans on the product. :D

Cheers

Actually sexzilla, upon reflection, I take offence to that post...

I don't often arc up but that is such a broad sweeping statement it requires an answer.

If you are saying that SST is the only shop that provides service, then why have they closed??

And PSI, Hyperdrive, X Speed, Speedworks, Barry dyno, Cypher Industries, Ovaboost, CMP, Wheelspin,Supertec, EvoR and a few I can't remember/don't know are all useless and only chasing the money or beer.

So you have been to them all and made a value judgement as to there capability/drink worthiness??

Pull your ****in head in...

Ken

ill throw my 2 cents in.

the best service i ever recieved was at hyperdrive. every single thing they did was done with a standard second to none.... whether that be answering a phone call or running my car on the dyno

close seconds... speedworks and xpseed ... both very very good.

as for al's comments, i doubt there is anyone out there who will better Ken and Lumpy for taking time to get to know you as a person 1, and as a customer 2.

i will also throw in my 2cents,

everyone knows im not the smartest person when it comes to cars and i ask about 100 question which are all the same just different words. But both ken and lumpy have looked after me 100% whether it be showing me how to install the fmic piping, or fixing my car after i almost killed it when it blew an oil line (just rock up and they fix it)

both take the time to listen and answer my question, i once had a 30/40mins talk with ken just about my skyline good upgrade and everything else related to cars :D

Getting the new R tuned there on Friday, flying down for it too, will post results in another thread once I get them.

I don't know what people are whinging about, there is no one and I mean no one up here that is even competent to provide a service, every time I ahve let my car out to anywhere up here it has come back with some form of mal service done to it.. I had to get service on my 180 due to warranty, no warranty on the R32 this time.. A little run down if I may:

TNT smashed the car upon taking it off of the truck for delivery..

The smash repairer left 6 bolts only half in after fixing abovementioned damage.

First service the dump was removed to fit EGT probe, snapped a bolt in turbo (this happens is cool) but when they put the turbo back on, they only put one nut on it, resulting story blown gasket, lots of squeaking, found it my self.

Next service, threaded sum plug and must have only done up finger tight, resultant effect 2 litres of oil on driveway and a repair job for me while I was at it.

Next service, vehicle is seen doing close to warp speed (in town I might add) by one of my good friends..

Next Service, threaded sump plug thread on ym nice new Trust Sump, (car was smashed only a weke after this so the sump came off and now has a heli coil in it, in a mates car)

I just wanted my car to be released to a workshop/mechanic/repairer without it coming back in worse condition than it went in..

The nearest tuner, is Port Hedland, 250km/h away, they don't do 'imports' (they also classified a VL Turbo and import), and won't let cars on their dyno if the owner is present, you have to leave it with them and come back the next day... hrrmmm, not too sure on that one.. I also heard a rumour that they have let a car go on their dyno too, which would not be pretty I would say..

Yorik, nice avatar..hmmm..love those tits.

Anyway, AJ is a competent tuner on Power FC but so are we. We have the datalogit software ( mostly) to tune it and do a few cars for the Karratha mob on behalf of D Konig.

We have a reasonable reputation on them and PNBlight will attest to the HP we attained for him out of his.

Cheers

[bANNED] cant remember his sau nick but they are his car plates

Boosted_RB26 i believe?

anywayz, Sexzilla i think ure post isnt fair at all to any of the workshops in Perth... u might wanna take it back..

i must say, ive used Cypher and Zack is a champ... havent used Hyperdrive but ive known Ken since before he opened Hyperdrive and he's a great peoples person.. I havent done much at SST except a few repairs but I get along well with Steve and he's given me heaps of advice not neccesarily car related.. at the end of the day, these guys are just regular people and if u treat them well, walk in with a good attitude instead of being stuck up then i believe they will treat you in the same way.. not every workshop is for you, naturally each person would have their preffered workshop.. the best is to stick to the one you feel is best for you and BE LOYAL! lots of ppl jump workshops for the sake of saving 20-30 bucks.. yeah i know its money but in the long run, being loyal to a workshop saves you heaps of cash too..

sorry for the long post

Cliffs = choose workshop, stick to it, dont bag others, kthxbai

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
