All-wheel kW, our dynoCalibration only, no hardware changes. Every car differs, and figures vary with fuel, condition and boost strategy.
Pillar 04
GT-R tuning, from Stage 1 to full builds.
Nissan GT-R is home turf here. R32 to R35, WRX and STI, calibrated on Cobb and EcuTek by people who race what they tune.
The workshop R35, out testingTuned here, raced by us
Plenty of workshops will sell you a GT-R map. Fewer run their own. The owners' track-focused R33 GT-R and the R35 campaigned in Adelaide roll racing are developed in this building, on this dyno, by the same people who will calibrate your car.
That matters when the brief is more than a Stage 1. Heat management, transmission behaviour and traction strategy at speed are problems we have already worked through on our own cars.

Capabilities
What we do for JDM cars.
A Power Tech build
The 45th Anniversary R35.
Built and tuned in this workshop. This is what the team is capable of when the brief is a serious street and strip car.
- 4.4 litre stroker engine on a billet block
- TSM Elite turbocharger package
- PPG 1-6 gearset and driveline upgrades
- Custom Cobb calibration written in-house
- Fuel system built for E85 at serious boost
- Cooling and heat management for repeated passes

Why custom calibration
A GT-R is not the car for a generic file.
The VR38 responds honestly to calibration, but it punishes lazy work. Knock control, torque limits, transmission clamping and traction strategy all interact, and a file written for someone else's hardware and fuel can be slower, or worse, than stock.
We write to the car in front of us, log it, road test it, and prove it on our own dyno when you add a run. Starting figures are on the pricing page, and logged results are on builds and results.
We will also tell you when the answer is no. If a package is marginal for how you use the car, or the spend does not justify the gain, that conversation happens before you book rather than after the car is on the hoist.
Process
How a GT-R tune runs here.
- 01
Consultation and health check
We talk about the car, its history and how you use it, then check the basics: fault codes, service history, and compression or leakdown where the age of the engine makes it sensible.
- 02
Baseline logging
The original calibration is read and backed up, then the car is logged as it sits so we know what boost, fuelling, knock and transmission behaviour look like before anything changes.
- 03
Hardware fitted and checked
Intakes, downpipes, intercooler, fuel system or driveline hardware is fitted here and checked before any calibration work begins.
- 04
Dyno development (if opted in)
If you add dyno time, the car goes on our in-house dyno so the calibration can be refined and repeated under load. Dyno runs are an optional add-on at $250, not part of every tune.
- 05
Road validation
Cold start, traffic, cruise and full throttle. Boost, knock and transmission behaviour are watched the whole way, not just at the top of the rev range.
- 06
Handover
We walk you through what was changed and how the car should behave. If a dyno run was included, we go through the graph with you before you leave.
Workshop visits and consultations are by appointment only. Book a consultation to get your car in front of us.

FAQ
Common questions.
- Which GT-R generations do you tune?
- All of them. R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GT-R on the RB26, and every variant of R35 from a first Cobb Stage 1 through to built-engine, big-turbo packages. We also calibrate other JDM platforms including WRX and STI.
- Is a dyno run included in a GT-R tune?
- No. Every car is logged and road tested as standard. A before and after dyno run on our in-house dyno is an optional add-on at $250, because dyno time costs us time on the cell.
- What tuning platforms do you use?
- Cobb for R35 GT-R and most late-model JDM cars, and EcuTek where it suits the platform. The featured R35 build on this page was Cobb tuned right here.
- Do you supply and fit the hardware?
- Yes. Intakes, downpipes, exhausts, intercoolers, fuel system and transmission hardware are supplied and fitted here, so the parts and the calibration are one job with one point of accountability.
- Do you tune for track and roll racing?
- Yes, and we compete ourselves. The workshop's own R33 GT-R is a dedicated track car and our R35 is campaigned in Adelaide roll racing, so track and roll race calibration is not theory here.
- How long does a GT-R tune take?
- A Stage 1 R35 is usually a day. Built engines, turbo packages and transmission builds take longer because the logging and validation work grows with the combination.
