Its getting to the stage where i am going to be needing to get my car dyno tuned very soon.

I am just wondering (i have already search and didnt find a thread like the one im creating.),

- What tuner everyone uses in sydney?

- Are they happy with the tune?

- What kind of prices did they pay?

- Were they happy with the power/reliablity?

What i want wanting after my R33 is dyno'd, is reasonable power, but yet reliablity/economicaly. After reading threads which state "It's not about "how much" power, but for "how long" it makes that power."

I know when making more power it will use more petrol, but i know someone who got their car dyno'd and was getting 150km's out of a tank instead of about 300 - 350 km's like i normally get. I deffantly dont want that.

Please post your advice and comments.

hi sindows,

this has been covered a few times but ill summarize in short, first a few questions

what mods? what ecu?

ask for a complete tune, which includes;

  • Max Power Tune
  • Light Throttle Tune
  • Partial Throttle Tune
  • Fuel Economy Tune
  • Cold Start and Warm Start Check
  • Ignition Timing Tune

all the tune's i have had done are simply point 1 and 5 and the results in the car driving fairly well but there are more gains to be had. most notably in parts 6 and 2 and 3. as you increase in the ignition timing in the low load areas you get some great throttle response which gives the car a nice crisp feeling. 4 needs to be done on the road and on the dyno as the load simulation is a little different to road tuning. it should take no longer than 30 minutes on the road with a wideband sensor. if its an apexi powerfc part 5 is basically done out the of box so thats handy.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
