James also gave me good free advice no questions asked.. but he's not in my state..

Adrian from TODA has been the most approachable IMO so I've stuck with him, plus he knows my setup and what's happened thus far...

Best bet is to found someone who you feel you connect with and say with them...

I 2nd that

In terms of tuners. I am not going to say Who is good and who is bad... BUT... In MY experience. I tried many many times to contact dave, Email, phone, sms.... Said i had money to spend, no expense would be cut. No calls back nothin. I Contacted james and got instant reply, gave me free (unbiased) advice and even took a quick look at my current tune.

As i said, not saying who is good and who is shit. Just my experiences.

The price is the same for the power I'm chasing and for the age of the motor I'm goin to be working with the K is my best option.

Check out Predator Motorsports at their site http://www.predatormotorsport.com.au/indexMAIN.html or go onto CruisingBrisbane.com give them a bell for another opinion on your install, may as well get as many quotes as u can and their worksmanship is excellent

there's a bit to the story of the white Skyline, they've helped at least 10 of my mates build some incredible/road legal cars and will do the same for anyone else. I can show u some of their work if you're keen whenever.

cheap option is defantly turboing, just throw a greedy turbo kit on it and get it tuned up. will give u a nice power gain
