So Does anyone know of a good engine tuner in sydney pref north or eastern suburbs?

Any help would be great

Are you running the standard Computer (ECU)?
Dyno tune is very thourough and will let the operator and mechanic where the car is possibly leaning out or where timing is out etc. it is a better tune basically,Prolly looking upwards from $400 up for a dyno tune depends on time and what needs to be done. but if you take it to Coltspeed they can tune the car, they have knowledge of the starion too and have worked on them a bit, so this is always better than going to say ultra tune who would look at you car and say "ah gotta love the cordias hey?" and then proceed to put your front wheels over the dyno rollers hehe.
anyways they are round about figures so don't quote me just giving you an idea. :beer

HITMAN is probably the best if you have an aftermarket ecu, especially HALTECH.

After the amount of work done to make this system work I dont think Ron would be jumping into it today. The brakes are now finished and on car - bloody good too.
Mind you if you ask him the price YOU might hang up. Nothing good ever came for nothing.

Adam from JEM is really really good with the haltech ( he worked there for a year or two as an installer/tech support) and can tune on the road for drivabiltiy as well as excellent power he has no problems with any ecu, (obviously prefers haltech) and has been behind many zoom feature cars latest one would be glen hunters red r31 skyline coupe with an rb26.
He's in sydney try him on 0415111644.
