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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
