I'm looking for a guru with rb20det powerfc tuning experience. I've just finished my project car and moved to a place with no tuning companies. None anywhere close. I will supply specs if anyone can help. Probably stage 2-3 Mild modifications.

Tuners in Melbourne Hey guys I'm looking to get my GTT nistuned, and I've more or less settled on going to Chasers Motorworks in West Melbourne. They've been a great help and very informative with all my questions via emails. Just looking get a second opinion before I make my final decision, so if anyone has brought their car there please let me know your personal experiences! Cheers

Hey all, With a couple mods on my Stag, I'm thinking I could be doing better fuel economy/power if I did some fuel tuning. Originally I was thinking a Nistune, but looking into it, I think this is probably a little premature. Honestly, not going to upgrade much more mechanically for a while - current have a catback, K&N drop in air filter, BOV, EBC. it's gonna be a while before I look at FMIC/turbo/injectors/fuel pump. That lot would need a Nistune, in my opinion, but for now I'd like to run a good clean setup at around 10/12psi. Have done some searching and reading and it seems like some folks are using SAFC for fuel maps. But I'm wondering how people actually tune their maps? Doing it DIY on the road? On a dyno? Using a datalogger? Laptop connection? Really interested, as I can see units on ebay for under $250 but keen to know what the best course would be for tuning it. I've read about folks pulling up to -35% off the top end of the map but I'd be concerned to hit a knock at that level, without seeing an AFR data log. Cheers

Hey guys anybody in Perth that can tune Wolf ECU’s. I have one in my RB25DET manual R33 4 door

Newbie !! Whats the go with radio? 1 station?!! Hey All ? First time Skyline owner. Just bought a 350GT V35x 2006 model. Has a great sounding BOSE stereo system but can only tune into 1 station !! Choice of either FM1 or FM2 & both of them will only tune between 70 to 90 bandwidth. Most of the stations I listen to in Melbourne are 101.9 or 105.3 etc. Anyone else with an import had this problem? Is there any way to fix it without putting in new stereo ?

Hello everyone, Just wondering if there are any haltech users on the forum? if so, what items are you guys logging? I have recently installed mine and have it running on the VE map pretty smoothly but I want to make sure I am looking at all the data.

Bolt ons and tuning Did a search and found nothing on this, so I apologize if I'm asking questions that have already been answered. I want to know if tuning is required, and when I mean required I mean not to damage the engine by running too lean, when doing bolt ons. I am referring to downpipes, which I think you guys call them front pipes, straight pipe or cat delete, catback exhaust and replacing the stock intake boxes with pod filters. I know I won't be getting max power out of these mods without tuning, I just want to let the engine breathe better. Appreciate your input, and again, sorry if this question has already been asked and answered.

Hey guys I'm looking into getting a V35 350-GT Coupe (manual)! I'm looking for a bolt on supercharger kit and what tuning options I would have? Im looking for something preferably in Sydney? Thanks in advance for any advice If anyone knows someone who has this kit in Australia that would be helpful http://www.rhdjapan.com/hks-gt-supercharger-complete-kit-gse21-grs184-z33-cpv35-64031

Hey, I need to get my 1998 R34 skyline tuned and was wondering if there was many good places to take her in Perth?

I've have recently bought a 2009 Premium GTR. As with most, after the initial excitement of the performance wore off, I found myself looking at aftermarket upgrades. So last week I purchased the following, which are being installed shortly. Kakimoto Cat Back exhuast system Titanium Mid pipe 3" Cobb Intakes BOV's I also bought a Cobb accessport with TCM. Now I just need some advice as to where is best to take it in the Perth area. A friend recommended I take it to XSpeed but I have since heard that they have gone into liquidation. Is this true? Also, is there anyone in Perth that has any recommendations or advice on where to go? Thanks

So I'm about to buy an old Nissan 300zx for 1500 and put a rb26 in it. It will be my dd(dont ask why I need a 450hp dd) and it will need to be reliable. here are the mods I plan to put in it. Just a disclaimer im a huuuge noobie with cars. on the list the ones that dont have specific parts I havent decided what part. turbo - garret 2560r OR hks gtss fuel pump intercooler - garret core cooler(not sure which one) ecu - power f clutch cams - tomei pon cams Here's some tuff i might get: flywheel, head gasket, air flow meter, exhaust, transmission, and intake So my actual questions, are these necessary? do I need more? where do I find these parts? should I get them used? Should I try to do the work my self? Is there a better car or engine I could use? could I find a shaker hood scoop to go with this? Also i havent bought anything so if your thinking "why is he getting that?" please correct me. So like i said im a noob so car people will bitch at me thats fine just correct me as well.

After having attempted to find out which cylinders I will need to focus my knock listening on for my buddies R32 GTR, my searches have come up dry. So I come here to inquire as to your experiences with which cylinders are more likely to knock or knock sooner or more frequently than others in high horsepower applications. I will update this once I get a chance with the actual full build list if required but here's the basics: Built RB26 block and head, Kelford 182-C 282dur 9.2mm cams, Upgraded housing and T51R mod GTX3582R Gen 2 Billet wheel/BB, 100mil jdm intercooler, super fire coil packs, Frenchy's twin fuel hanger with dual Walbro 450s, n1 oil pump w billet gears, PRP adjustable cam gears, Nitto head oil drain, Mishimoto rad & fans, id1300cc injectors, flex fuel kit, billet fuel rail, ported stock intake manifold??(might change), can't think of anything else at this point, lmk if there's anything else. In addition, I was curious if the build would be better off with a Haltech or link or the many others that are slipping my mind, or is it mostly personal preference?

Hey all, Picked up a manual 370gt not long ago. Have purchased BC BR coilovers and will be doing new bushings all round and front & rear sway bars shortly. My car is just shy of 200k kms but she still pulls hard and feels very tight all round. I was hoping to get your opinions on what FI route I should take. Option 1: Replace gallery gaskets and mid mount single turbo my existing VQ37. Using SOHO motorsports' single turbo dyno as a guide, I'd be looking at approx 600WHP and 600nm wheel at 5k RPM. Ride this motor out till it dies then put in a new VQ when the day comes. Option 2: Sell my VQ and do a VR30DDTT swap. I've been extensively researching this swap and know of 3 370z swaps, two 350zs and one 350gt (US so G35). I can't see why a 370gt should be too different to a 370z. The OEM motor mounts can be retained, I'll need a z1 adapter plate for my JK41A transmission, q60 ecu, harness, engine room harness, CANBUS module, custom intakes, lower downpipes, heat exchanger and tune. This will net me less HP - approx 450whp but more torque at lower RPMs for more RPMs - 675nm wheel at 2.5k to 4.5k. Putting aside sourcing parts, labour and installation timeframes, what would be your preference for a daily driver/occasional track visit car? Boosted VQ for 600WHP with a lower, shorter, later torque curve or a VR30 with 150 less HP but significantly better torque delivery? Any shop recommendations in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle or Canberra? Would love to hear your thoughts Al

hi, need help on my tuning. besides data logic, any other software i use to tune PFC with map sensors? version 8.0D thanks in advance for your input. Shaune

I've recently fitted some RC 720cc Injectors and had to do a bit of a re-map on my RB20det. So far things are fine at WOT as per normal. However the idle hunts a bit, but too be expected with 720 low impedance injectors. I have Nistune by the way. However when adjusting the injector latency I began to think about what the correct latency should be and if there is horsepower (kilowatts for you guys) and reliability (Knock resistance) by having the fuel spray early (which may result in pooling at valve) or late (which could be incomplete burn/ reduced atomization). But when is the factory injection time @ 14v and rated injector impedance? Perhaps I am getting to far into this? Is there power to be made?

HKS F-CON Software Need HKS F-CON Silver v2.0 software. Thanks.

Hi all. Ethanol composition sensor - who's running one? What ECU? How effective has it proven to be? I'm excited about the prospect and have been speaking to Morpowa about it... Flex fuel 300+rwkw Skylines... nice.
