Exactly what he said ^^^^^^

Best to get it from the tuner. Sometimes a bargain can be had from eBay, but sometimes you are just buying a door stop.

In regards to what Steve said, only Australian stock will work with our cars. I too thought about buying from the US and then found out that it would be an expensive boat anchor.

You buy one model and I believe it will work with all our XRs, GS and GT.

What plans do you have?

Cheers guys.

No plans as yet, just randomly searched Ebay and saw a couple for around the $500 mark and thought..."fk, that'd save me a few hundred bucks", but then I was wary of whether it'd be the right one, so on and so forth, so I think I agree with you all that I should just go straight to the tuner and get one through them.

No plans as yet, kinda just planning ahead, and always have in my mind that I need to take the plunge on one of those damned things when I can afford to.

I can't remember exact cost but was told if I supply Xcal the tune would cost more.

If I bought Xcal from tuner then the tuning would be less making it cheaper.

Yep.

So basically you pay 700+? for a box 2nd hand or new im not 100% sure on prices these days and a custom tunes around 900+$.

Where as a box and custom tune from a tuner is 1450-1500ish total (depending on the shop you go to obviously)
