    MACE (forum sponsor) have been doing them for a while with impressive feedback and results.

    Mail order tunes have been around for awhile, MACE is a good example of this.

    The key thing to take into account with the mail order tune. They are normally tuned below the max the engine can put out for obvious reasons. And they are tuned to the weather of their workshop. Works fine if your in the same climate but otherwise it can run like crap.

    Just installed a mail order tune into my brother in laws R33 GTR and now it runs worse because it was tuned to Victorian winter weather (apparently) not Darwin hell weather.

    I thought MACE only did them for the pre-sidi VE's?

    The mace tune isn't a mail order. They give you the device to flash it in, log how the car goes, tweak it up, reflash, rinse and repeat. It's much better than a mail order.

    Much nicer then. Though honestly I would rather buy VCM just because I hate the tuning shops up in Darwin and the chances of stuff going missing in the mail up here is immensely high.

    To clear up a number of things, we do not offer any tunes for VZ V6's or MY06 and MY07 VE's at the moment, as they're supported by VCM/HP Tuners

    The Alloytec/SIDI tuning service we offer for VE MY08-ON, is remotely done. Each tune is tailored specifically based on the logs that the customer provides us with the supplied programmer and software.

    For more info about the process/service please check out the link below

    Mailorder tune's are a waste of time IMO.
