Honestlly im not comfortable in posting this info on the open forums.

Maby someone else might post the companys name under an alter-ego login or something. Because i used to work in this industry it may seem like a stab into their business. I dont work in this industry anymore but like i said no need to start trouble.

I just wanted to inform of the bad service and confusion I experenced on this topic.

yea, i have received the name of the company and although i have never experienced bad service myself, good and bad things have been said about them, as with any workshop. For anyone wondering the workshop we are talking about here is sort of like the abc without the b....figure it out for yourself, if the owner wants to sue me for slander or defamation, all i can say is, have fun!

i have only heard that the above mentioned company is expensive, thats the only negative comments i have heard before from people that have had work done by them. compared to some top sydney workshops prices though they aren't really that bad.

I would recommend P.I.T.S for tuning however.

a company can charge what ever they like for their services, but generally you find that companies who charge a premium for their services are also giving superior services at the same time.

Unfortunately in this case they went out of their way to call him back and to alienate a potential customer who has in turn told a few people about his experience, who in turn will tell a few more people and so on.

I know I have already related the story to at least 20 people, who are probably telling other people as well. As I said it's a small world and actions that this particular workshop has taken has cost them who knows how many potential customers.

Price has nothing to do with it but attitude certainly does and in this respect the saying is true "the customer is always right"

I just wanted to inform of the bad service and confusion I experenced on this topic.

yer, well thats pointless if you dont tell us who it is

it just leaves the rest of us likely to be burned

matt from pits is good, i think its like 150 an hr with the controller or 200 without, but its quicker without casue he has software for it, but dont qoute me on this.

also, it can take anyware from 1 to 4 hrs he said

Im in the process of gettin my Power FC installed

and taking it to F.I.S.T as i have had my car tuned there before

and was impressed with the results ,There service and there tuning capabilites .

I have dealt with workshops that i have had bad experiences with .

And not goin to them again as my time and money has been wasted .

Workshops that i have had good experiences with are F.I.S.T

Exotic Exhaust, Fitter at Autobarn slack creek, Right Price Exaust .

Thanks

I think i may just start a new thread as a holler to great workshops and service from companies. I have seen a few older threads around. But with the change of management and so forth and name changes we need a new one.

I have always found forum sponcers are the best because they take a personal intrest in the cars and hence a sponcer of the forums.

Some workshops say "arhhh" when you say skyline and then jack the price up just for you.

Did some shopping today for wheel allinements due to brand new suspension changing all the settings. Found most shops to be very helpful and they have redeemed my confidence in the industry. I mean when i worked for ford years ago customer service was the top prioity. If i were to say something un-nice or blunt i would be fired.

I believe that the customer is the business... I work in customer service everyday now... There are nicer ways to treat people you may not like. My personal hate is smell.... If they smell i dont like them.... LOL

I happen to have a calling card in my wallet given by Trent at Mercury

why not give them a call...they tuned my Wolf 3D and was impressed by the service i get..told them i needed the car by 5pm coz i need to be home and they did everything they had to finish the car and i was even there waiting coz home is an hour drive away -- while waiting you get to relax and watch DVD on their cossy waiting room or read magazines..very impressive service.

so here

and oh yeah....

POST IT..POST IT...we all wanna know LOL.

    • 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.
