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.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
