Hi

Have had my 2016 SR5 for a few years now and looking to do a custom remap on it. Never done this before so wondering what's a fair price? I've been quoted $1500 which seems a little high to me. Although this is in Darwin so maybe they can charge more.

Also looking for recommendations of a good tuner in the Darwin area if anyone's got any experience.

Cheers

Can't help with a recommendation or cost in Darwin, however I paid $1200 for an ecu tune done on a dyno in Sydney 2 years ago. Was very happy with the result.

Can't offer a specific recommendation, but back in 1987 you only needed to ask around at the Buff Club to find a recommendation.

Buff club clientele are still the same people and are are not experienced on cars post 1987

Come on random dude, do you think they all went senile after 1987? I'm sure at least some of them have traded their 70series land cruisers in since then maybe some have even got a series 8 hilux now with a dyno tune.

It was 30 something year's ago, I was 20 and they were mostly Ooold back then, they'd be pushing the boundaries of the century if it IS the same people.
As for vehicle upgrades I had a Nissan 720 back then nothing available on my Hilux dash I didn't have on that dash. The only real upgrade is from petrol to now a diesel.
Please DON'T bite, this last statement is an intentional sh1t-stir.


Another option is to go for a drive across to the east coast, I understand there's a fairly competent mob on the Gold coast, or maybe ask around the FIFO mobs, many mining mobs have highly qualified and experienced people.
