Grudge match racing, hey thats gona work for all sides and provide some 'good' PR. You might even end up with a tribal sort of rivalry amongst the supporters of each tuning house (kinda like the holden and ford thing).

I believe this sort of tuning house competition is common in japan and would provide a bit of entertainment for the punters.

We could have a points system for the year and have a big industry party and award presentation at the end of the competition year. This sort of thing would be good for the profile of businesses involved in jap-performance tuning.

Rev210 thats the best idea ive heard in ages for all the tuners who read this post DEFINATELY TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION it would be good publicity for your buisness..

With the whole engine saga it shouldnt really be an issue because they claimed responibility and fixed the problem at no charge. which i think is a very good quality for a buisness to have i no of companys to do the same and not take responsibility for there actions so to the little bitch whos spreading shit shut the **** up.

Hi Guys n Gals,

Firstly i think that we should be encouraging as many tuners etc on here as possible. The people that work on the cars day in and day out are the ones that we can most learn and benefit from - especially a chick like me thats trying to learn all she can :)

Secondly, I think debate should be encouraged but without resorting to slandering or insults. I dont think a difference in opinion should be shutdown - as we are not all going to agree on the same things - personally i like to hear both sides of the fence. These guys are in comptition with each other - as with any type of business you will nit pick the comptitions weak spots to benefit your business - its how everyone advertises its understandable - but obviously should be left out of these forums because of the trouble it causes.

From a girls point of view i partly have to agree with Angel - when choosing a tuner - second most important thing after the job the quality of work they do on the car is customer service - things go wrong understand that completely- its how that is handled is importan. Also the time taken to explain to dumbshits like me what has to be done, why it has to be done and the options i have to have the problem fixed - a lot of time the bigger tuners are flatout and busy and dont have the time - understand that completely too but if the customer service isnt there then it will lose u business because theres always some other tuner willing to pick up what u let go.

Business is never nice - i know that my dad owns one i see what goes on and i know where possible even he will pick on what he call the "inferior product" Up to us to make up our own minds and i think people should let us do that without bias.

I have learnt so much already about my car from this forum - its hard to keep everyone happy - but please lets try - we will all benefit from it in the end.

*Niz nows steps down from her soapbox :P *

I agree we should decide for ourselves and not go on wat someone else says as they may b a one off situation or out 2 stir trubble

Its like reading the tv guide and your fav movie gets 1 star, your opinion is going to b different 2 the reviewers if that makes sense :D

adrian :D

p.s i understand if you ignore this as most of you are double my age :(

We should make the rivalry fun .

I'm gonna grow better sideys than J'ash?

True words there,Speedworks,C RED,SST.are all long term

Premier Speed shops and all have broken parts and will

again as it is the nature of our sport, We just don't

need the Denvers out there shooting their mouths

off.

here here

i agree!

if every shop had a big mouth like denver, noone would be getting anywhere!

p.s speedworks if u wanna get rid of denver , and u need a new driver for the r34 hehe i will be mot willing to help!

adrian :(

never mind No-rspect

the other thread was closed it turned into a slanging match.

yes a car tuned there broke, big deal as mentioned before things break with modified cars all the time, every shop has its good and bad stories.

I think the main thing to come out this thread is that we as customers do care about alittle about the companies history but if we chose to use a company and something breaks we are looking for followup service.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
