im going with the vipec because its one they always use .. who said it would always be a streeter ? :thumbsup:

i was !! but after today i spent a few hours looking into ecu's and other items

so now my car will be going down to CONFIDYNE

for a motec or maybe haltec ecu and dyno tune .

as for the mods there still from befor install turbo . timeing belt . nice clean up new fluids .. maybe fuel pump and some little bits nothing to big :cheers:

Hmm I would be keen for a dyno run to get a 'before' statement before I hit engine modifications.

What sort of ride height should I be looking at to actually manage getting on the dyno :whistling:

If you can fit your foot under the car it'll get up there.

I wouldn't bother with a motec, you pay a pretty big premium for no extra features, and the ones with the extra featues are $3000-$5000.

Just wondering if you have contacted Boost in Launceston for a ecu/tune? Just seem a lot of hassle to go all the way to ulverstone.

hey mate. you are oviously new to this but there is more than one place to get a haltech or motec instaled around tas and for quite varying fees.

a bit of experiance has shown me that dealing with one good workshop for all work is by far the best way to get the most out of a car and enjoyment. all tuners will tune any car off the street but they are unlikely to put 100% into the job. if the workshop does all the mechanical work to a car they will then know that the engine is in sound condition, or maybe a bit tire,. also that all parts have been installed correctly thus allowing them to put a bit of back ground knolage into the performance of the car.

if you was planing on getting workshop a to do all the work then decided to get workshop b to finish it all off do you think workshop a is gooing to put its extra bit of effort into the job. if you want what workshop b does then maybe consider getting it all done by them.

in your case workshop a has already lead you down the wrong track so whats to say they are doing anything wright. this is only assumed from the info given by you.

every one on here is right in saying that a nistune will give you by far the best bang for buck at this stage. but non of them have pointed the out possibly the cheapest and best place to get one. you just have to look around a bit.

what ever you do dont get Motec's new budget plug in ecu. it is rubbish and hard to use compared to the likes of vipec and haltech

i would only ever run a Motec if i was running a top top end race car. they just arent user friendly enough for amature racing. haltech, vipec, link most of these will do 100% of what any amature needs.

you seemed to listn to the advice from before so hopefully you will have a bit of a think about your next step to.

    • Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
