I know the owner and his family very well and I can say that they do great work. I have recommended them to people before, and have had things done through them before, eg: clutch on old car, as well as fuel pump and tune there recently for my skyline.

John Whittaker, the owner, really knows his stuff, and has been involved with turbo's etc for a long time.

What a coincidence.... Just got home from there just now.

They seemed pretty good. Although I effectively paid $270 for some new spark plugs and a couple power runs. My car was running fine (as far as it can with stock ecu) so nothing needed to be done to it.

Anyway my results were 239.4rwhp at 1.5 bar. John turned this down to a safer 1.2 bar with 220rwhp the result.

He has a real nice RB26DETT engined 280Z.

hah cool

i prolly heard yah car on the dyno :)

i just called them and got a few prices .. they are a little $$

got a price on a high flow for my turb, a clutch, oil catch and timing belt and bearing on my car.

Will have to think about it

they are nice people though

Yea NIZ30 spark plugs for the RB20 are around the $120 mark for the platinum ones so that could be the reason why it was a little more expensive... I think a dyno tune is about $140 or something???

I havent actually asked for certain things so i can't talk say much about there prices. I thought they would give pretty good prices for high flowing turbo's etc...

That's a good result ont he dyno!!!

It's actually a 260Z, it was in fast fours a couple of months ago. His son has the same green colour 240z with a turbo motor in it as well. Has about 260bhp.

he quoted me 2400 for a rebuild on my turbo that will flow 440hp

440 for oil breather, 1015 for clutch.

I got the iridon plugs in my car last week and 3 hours on the dyno at chip torque $430 all up

Car went from 197rwhp to 240rwhp but they put it back to 235 as it began to ping...still a little under what i want with the current setup bt its better than what it was.

You could probably get it all, or whichever one you wanted done at a better price if u went in there n spoke to him. The amoutn of people that call wanting prices they have to say a certain price for everything.

If your serious go down there n have a chat to him, he might be able to tell u a better option, n im sure he could work out a better price..

I haven't done alot. I had big plans for it when i first bought it but..

It's got 3.5" trust system, and i put a double dump n 3" system to cat.

HKS filter

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller.

GFB blow off valve

Bigger fuel pump

Still got standard cooler..

I only got about 130rwkw on Brisbane Tuning dyno, but i have beaten 2 gts-t 32's both from down low n highway that have the same mods as me, but with a cooler and more boost.

Got wheels n stereo nst uff liek that as well, n should get GTR front bar for it in the next couple of weeks. But as off about Febuary it will be for sale...

How bout yours?

i got Plenum

Front Mount

3.5" Zaust

Microtech ECU

just running a bleed valve atm 13psi

pushing 175rwkw

got bilstein suspension

i am wanting to get it to 250rwhp with the current setup..

got to get a dump pipe and oil catch asap ..

it goes ok...but still to slow :)

got 18" mags on it and 400r front bar

getting a stock bar back on it soon ..this ones to low

y u sellin ?

175rwkw isn't too bad. That's with stock turbo?

A dump should make a fair differance..

Well I had planned on going all out on it but I really would prefer something a little newer and something that is easier to make go fast...

So I am thinking a new shape turbo supra or Series 6/7 RX7..

Get something crazy before I get my first house...

what have u got 33 or 32

a supra is a big heavy bad handling slug :)

stick with the skylines :D

rx7 aint bad...but its still no skyline

not that i am biased or anything ;)

my turbo is the stock turbo

i hope the dump pipe gives me some power

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
