25.01.2022 Apprentice Hunt - Please share So, the time has come for me to again select an apprentice. I dread it because my last one (Nick) who qualified last year is a hard act to follow. An apprenticeship is an agreement. In exchange for shitty wages, several months of observing, cleaning, organising, assisting, making coffee and NOT complaining, you graduate to progressively working on really cool cars and learning about performance mechanical and tuning. You earn terrible wages for... the entire apprenticeship because you are at TAFE 1 day a week, you dont earn much income for the company and you require attention to teach and monitor. You are not being taken advantage of - it is a fair agreement on both sides - provided both play their part. PLEASE READ - I will be trialing a few people over the next few months for a formal apprenticeship start in the new year. - I want to start a new apprentice - no to 2nd/3rd years - Will consider mature age if there are suitable benefits to warrant the extra costs. Experience, glowing personality, confidence etc. - Must have: Brains, license, car, solid living arrangements, low expenses, an interest in absorbing information. - If you dont love learning then please dont apply. - Must live within 20 minutes of Ossy Park. - Must be prepared to do 2 weeks work experience / trial. - Must be committed to setting up for a future in the industry. - Must be prepared to buy tools if selected - MUST NOT be an over opinionated social media player. - Must apply by email to [email protected] - Must write a real cover letter with some honest info about yourself. List your 2 best attributes and your 2 worst. Dont use a template or write what someone has told you - write it yourself about you and your thoughts / plans / ambitions. - I dont want to know how good a mechanic you are. As a first year I expect nothing mechanically. I will be trialling you anyway to see your level. I am interested in knowing about you and assessing if I think your personality and situation suits the apprenticeship. Please share and tag away. I am happy to start trialing immediately.

25.01.2022 Just for something different!

23.01.2022 BARGAIN BARGAIN - Tuning Package Offer. NEW G4X Plug & Play. Some ECU's fitted & tuned for under $2k !! Link have released their latest game changer. The "G4X" range is a complete firmware / software overhaul and competes with anything else on the market. Remember - the G4X price point is still industry leading meaning far more product / quality at the same price! Add in our crazy specials and this ECU range should be seriously considered. ... - Microprocessor Faster processing speeds for general function speed increase. This is especially helping with complex calibrations like DBW cars running Cam control and 4D Flex maps. - Knock The knock functionality now often has 2 Knock channels and far more versatile and advanced control for safer petrol tuning. Don't overlook the value of this one upgrade. - Versatility Tables can now be generated by the tuner and used to fine tune flex or other complex functions. This is huge for anyone thinking of using flex fueling. - Datalogging Massive increase in data capturing which is great for any performance cars as it allows detailed recording of engine data in order to fine tune, diagnose and set up functions. - Completely new operating software with better user interface for sharper tuning processes while on the dyno. - General input and output improvements. To try to assist with the expected slow down of work amid COVID19, we are offering massive savings for anyone who wants to secure an ECU this month. We also offer PayRight as a "Pay Later" option for those who want to spread their repayments. NOTE: We are finalising our "sanitising" procedures so that 101 can carry on trading without furthering the risk to anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaSpWwI1aEA

19.01.2022 Forged Rod Vs Forged Rod Its easy to cheap out when things are getting expensive and sometimes you dont even know your cheaping out. If you are spending 5k + on engine components for a strong forged engine you should consider that finding an extra few hundred dollars could take your motor from strong to unbreakable. Check out the difference between similar priced forged H beam rods. One set are Nitto (which we use a lot of) the other is a name brand (best not to show the... brand) These may look like small differences but in a world where microns make all the difference the Nitto rod is miles ahead. The Nitto is around 90 grams heavier but this is built for boosted engines looking for strength as their first priority.

17.01.2022 Hey Guys, If you know anyone with a D MAX or MUX, let them know we also tune these models. Heres one we prepared earlier!

17.01.2022 Why so blue? An uncanny run of blue cars in the workshop right now.

16.01.2022 Its Here! Haltechs own display dash. Full colour Inbuilt programming buttons CAN compatible (Plugs directly into and reads CAN compatible ECUs)... OBDII Direct plug in - to read and display all cars with OBDII plug!! Many other advantages.... $1350 including GST. See more

14.01.2022 The little things... When our Nissan guys upgrade to an RB30 bottom end, there is a 30mm gap between the front engine covers because the block is taller than an RB25 or RB26. This little stainless strip is a neat simple solution. Dont comment on the colour of the covers please....

14.01.2022 Its VL week! One finished and the next about to begin. One winding the power out because its hard to drive on the street and one winding the power in to a fresh big HP build.

13.01.2022 It is our absolute pleasure to look out for the SES vehicles and appreciate the acknowledgment. It just so happens living 2 streets away and having a business 6 blocks away keeps things very convenient!!

10.01.2022 PRADO TUNE Its pretty rewarding to tune peoples cars and give them good value results. Its even better when its for a close mate and the results are outstanding. Today we tuned Scotts 150 Series Prado that is used for all round work. A bit of touring. A bit of towing. A bit of of beach work and a bit of daily driving. After a fair bit of a chat about his use of the Prado we set our tune goals for: - Safe engine operation after tuning... - Throttle response improvement - Pokier power delivery - Towing torque gains - 35% + peak power and torque gains - 10-15% fuel economy improvement - Better gear shift characteristics The power and torque figures on the dyno were above target gains (over 40%). Most other goals from the tune are being confirmed by txt as Scott is putting the car through its paces this weekend. A good day on the dyno.

10.01.2022 Tax time! Get those tunes or diagnostic work booked Don’t forget we have interest free PayRight to spread those payments out if needed!

08.01.2022 Where do you focus your HP budget when you have a naturally aspirated engine ? This one is for the Honda lovers. Make sure you watch till the end.

08.01.2022 She’s back for a touch up before Powercruise 2020. An amazing bit of gear. Power literally on tap. No need and no balls to go over 2.2 BAR. I have never spent so long trying to dial power out of a car for traction and launching. This thing is insane. Around 900 at the wheels without NOS. Lots of straps needed to keep it inside the dyno room.

06.01.2022 Simply too good not to post this. Please share.

05.01.2022 Its true - Good things come in small packages. I have a soft spot for pocket rockets like these. One a Haltech run in tune which is powering a serious built SR20 and the other is a Hondata running a targa CRX with a B20 Vtec conversion. Both awesome cars and both owners doing a lot of the work building these cars up. I get the pleasure of a bit of fault finding and tuning them to finish off all the hard work.

05.01.2022 Please share Any experienced mechanics out there that need some casual work? PM me please.

04.01.2022 ** Little numbers big satisfaction ** This Feroza has been an ongoing project at the workshop for a while now. Chris the owner is a Feroza fanatic but this one was gutless and with all the gear on the car the motor struggled to pull it along. After a false start trying to cut corners with some cheapy tune control (shame on me for even attempting it), we ended up combining Nissan engine management parts with a Haltech Elite to create a fully sequentially run engine that now ru...ns very nicely even with the little GTR turbo bolted to it. Part SR20 - CAS grafted into the housing of the dizzy Part RB25 - ignited coil packs Part RB26 - Turbo, actuator etc The result is over double the power we started with from 51Hp at the wheels to 110 hp with 8 psi of boost. So no, its not a record breaker and no it doesnt have all polished and titanium bits hanging off it BUT it is very fun to drive and has an engine management system that is looking after the motor. All in all a frustratingly satisfying job...

04.01.2022 Jason from Jays Landscaping recently let us loose on his new Ford Ranger. He was chasing some more towing grunt but a little wary of paying for a custom tune. The promise of better economy as well, helped his decision. We got some great gains and after a few weeks thorough, real world testing by Jay, he was genuinely surprised at the results.

03.01.2022 If variety is the spice of life then Garage101 is the Nandos of workshops. 12 cars in the shop right now and 9 different Manufacturers!

02.01.2022 Great to get some feedback from our tuning.

02.01.2022 Wiring 101 - please like and share. So there is always the discussion about using solder. It can cause various issues and isnt recommended. The perfect splice connection is shown here using crimp splice connectors and correct support and then sealing with glued heatshrink. Takes time but is flawless. This is a Haltech patch harness being expanded for some race functions. Going into a nice R34 GTR V spec.

02.01.2022 Some work from the week. Please like and share! Definitely an RB fest for the last week or so. A run of 500+ HP cars blew all the cobwebs out from the dyno. We even cooked the dyno retarder with the big HP VL which is a first. It needed a little Nanna nap after that.

01.01.2022 It may surprise some Diesel owners that your hard earned money doesnt need to be spent in the usual areas in order to get OUTSTANDING performance gains.
