hey, im geting a power fc ecu with commander, i was quoted $400-$800 for a dyno tune, air flow and all, does this sound like a good price?, it was from chip torque on the gold coast, has any one had a pfc tuned on the gold coast or some were close by?, or can recommand a place, that would be great.

not really running anything special, just want it to run smooth at the moment

Skyline R33 Series2

catback exhaust 3"

3" dump pipe

Pod Filter

stock boost, no boost controller right now, saving for a avc kit for the pfc

hey, thanx you guys for the replies, gives me alot more options to get this done ,thats awesome. i'll check out PITS number and give them a call and also give a call to mercury motorsport, QLD skylines yeah ! :)thanx

one little peice of advice.......AVOID CHIP TORQUE AT ALL COSTS.

REALLY!! damn, u and my girlfriend both said that, i think i beta not go to them hey, i've herd people say dont go there, thanx for the tip.

thanx everyone for the replies, it helped alot. looks like gavin wood auto tech may have my business, ive had some pm's saying he is a top guy to go to, i'll check Matty Spry's as wll, since 2 people on here recommend him, thanx a heap!!

Another vote for Matty Spry.

I was an avid Chip Torque fan, however I believe there tuning and espically there service has gone to shit.

They had my car for almost a week (including the weekend) and I was told that it would be done in one day. I had to take two days off work to get it there and home again (I drove from brisbane).

And to top it all off I was not happy with the tune at all and they charged a f**king arm and a leg ($1200 odd dollars equates to and arm and a leg)

This was about 4 months or so ago and I am still pissed off.

09ONE_32 <-- god damn, i cant believe they charged that much!!,`they quoted me 400 to 800, but who knows if they decide to charge more, one day is even along time for a tune, let alone a week!!, thanx for the tip as well.

Does any one know Matty Spry number at all, i search on yellow pages but couldent find a contact, were about is he located, brisbane or gold coast, or half way?, thanx for replies to

wasnt matt spry at chiptourque b4 were he is now?

i went around getting qoutes last week, chiptourque and matt both said 200 an hr and up to 4 hrs depending...

and was that busniess slandering i saw in a previous post, with no warnings given yet? nice work moderaters.oh well guess i can say what i want too now.... dont go to mercury bro, unless u dont mind dodgy tamepring done to your car

no slandering of the busniess, just a fact!!!!!! it has been done!!!!

go were u like , but u will end up at gavin wood in the end. he is the best

really haha,thanx 4 the tip, you sound confident on that, i will call him and keep this posted on the job he done. thanx all for the help!!

Between gavin wood and matty spry, you pretty much have your gold coast skyline needs covered.

The reason chip torque went to shit is because their best tuner left. That tuner being matty spry :) He's the one who now runs PITS. Tell him if he doesnt look after you, I'll send my VL down to him again. Last time I sent it down I had to sign it in under a different name :) He hates my car, causes the poor bloke to lose half a head of hair every time it goes down.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
