hey guys, just joined up coz i need some opinions.

moved to qld from south of perth 8 weeks ago. we de-tuned the engine so there isnt any detonation on regular unleaded because wasnt sure if premium was going to be available on the nullabor on the way here as i drove. currently making 285rwhp but we have taken a lot of timing out of it and boost needs to be turned up another 5 pound as well as taking off permanent closed loop etc etc.

unsure who to take it to because have heard reports of qld tuners trying to blow up motors on dyno to get rebuild from owners. preferably need someone who is good with power fc. i want her back up into the 400's and not blow up in the tuning process.

thanks for any help

just to add another opinion i did do a search on the qld section and it showed up bugger all. i looked for 'garage' 'mechanic' 'tuner' 'workshop' and got about 1 result for the place that used to be ADD. i just know of mercury from my mate.

Brisbane Turbo and Tuning centre come highly recommended by many people.

Mercury are good and one of the Forum sponsors.

Chapman and Chapman are quite good, they know their stuff.

Milanco are also very good and focus on customer service.

i have head a Few storIeS abouT one of the above listed workshops and would think twice about going there, dont get me wrong, i have seen some good work come out of there to, why dont you go in and have a first hand look at some of the workshops for your self before you decide on anything.

Obvisously there are going to always be a few people woth bad experiences. BTTC are the only ones who have done the right thing by a couple of my other mates.

Charlies are CRIMINALS! Every person I knopw that has gone there has been ripped off. Stuffed tunes, false reporting....you name it.

what about MazFix ?

If you got a microtech and rotors I hear they are good...

Few things. Depends on what computer is being run, what your car is as not everyone has an 4wd dyno. Because if someone has NO idea, they might be the worlds best tuner with say a motec, but usless on wolf3d. But I would say APC, PITS, or 101. There was a guy up toowoomba way as well, but I think he has moved as the workshop that used to recomend him now uses 101.

while this thread is still here and i cbf searching even though i should, does anyone know the website for 101?

They are in Judds Ct, Slacks creek. Pop in a have a chat I don't think their website is very informative. But I try and find it. <_<

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
