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.

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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
