Cheers guys for all the answers, I've heard of a localish good tuner just got to find out what EMS's he's good at tuning, I'd rather find someone local instead of traveling 3 or 4 hours.
Does the AEM for our cars come with auto mapping? I was reading on a skyline forum you could tell it what A/F ratio you wanted and drive off and it would auto map
Juan, are you on about the guys at Jakan?

The aem ems can automap but it's fairly fiddly. I tried this once when I first drove my car to the tuner with the aem ems. It was not that great from my short experience with it. It's safer to get your car tow to the tuner.

yes but I was referring to microtech, haltech and hks f-con proV.
They are way more refined than the greddy/apexi stuffs that can only fine tune fuel.
If there are people who know how to tune the microtech, haltech or hks f-con proV stuffs then it's a lot more cost effective and less headache to use those tuning hardware, rather than flying someone from the USA to tune the car everytime you want adjust the fuel/ignition map.

Dahl belive it or not it is cheapper to bring a US tuner than bring one from UK. That is the reason of why some USA tuner flights twice a month. also HKS pro-V is more unknow than AEM, you ccan finda motec tuner though

This is part of the response I got from Unichip, does that sound any good?
[I]As you are probably already aware the Unichip is a piggy back computer, that works in harmony with your standard ECU, it is mapped specifically to your car, and allows the operator to program it exactly to suit the thousands of differences from one car to next, that pre-programmed chips can't take into account, such as cam timing, manufacturing tolerances, different fuel qualities and pressures, and any aftermarket components. Therefore we don't really go in for saying what power increase you will get, instead what we do promise is that at full throttle you will have the maximum power available safely, and at part throttle the car will be as economical as possible. At the end of the day, all any chip or engine management system is doing is to provide the correct amount of fuel in relationship to the amount of air being consumed, and ignite it at the correct time, so provided that they are equally accurate, they should all come out with the same result, providing they are mapped to the individual engine in question by a competent tuner on an accurate dyno. This is where the Unichip wins, as they are not for sale pre-programmed, but mapped to each car by a skilled tuner on a dynamometer, we don't supply Unichips to anyone who doesn't own their own dyno. If at any time in the future, any changes are made i.e. cams, headwork etc. simply pop back into any authorised Unichip dealer, where the Unichip can be remapped to suit.
The Unichip offers more than just timing and fuel adjustments, we can do more than most sub
