yep, not real happy either. apparently BD4's dont even have the version 2.1 tuning software either so all i've really got here is a big worthless paperweight.

they tuned mine fine and i have a Fcon V pro..

is there a way of knowing version????????????

jeepus! obviously charing you a premium cos you cant go elsewhere to get it tuned. do you think its worth having the fcon over other popular ecu's, given this massive penalty you are paying to have it tuned?

not having a go, just curious

not that expensive...

i got the map sensor and air temp sensor a lil above cost

map over $300, air temp over $100

and they had to install them..

car was there from 9am- 6pm

$1250 is nothing!!

tuning cost $220 for 1st hour and $150 after that

i dont agree with the 220 first hour..

at the end of the day tom said he put more effort into it and it took much longer, so he only charged me for 4hours tuning..

just to note, i gave the car to tom running like crap!!

and the end of the day it was smoother stronger and he had fixed all my probs!

he also said if the car has any probs caused by his tune he'll fix it for free!

hasn't skipped a beat since..

all i was going to back for is to tune it at a higher boost with ebc

price over phone from bd4's for tuning (SR20det w/ aftermarket turbo, full tune from scratch) was $600

this is very reasonable, from memory, price quoted from ICE performance (in melbourne) for install and tune of power fc was around $1k mark for sr20det with aftermarket turbo...

(install of power fc and z32afm takes 30 minutes or so, so most of that price would be tune, not to mention powerfc's would take less time to tune since they have a smaller map size!!)

If i was in sydney, i'd happily use bd4's the guy i spoke to on the phone when i enquired about the fcon's was very helpful! pity i don't live in sydney though...

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
