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 stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
