Sydney Tuners

[Staunch]

heyas, after a good dyno tune for my line. Can someone reccommend tuners they have had good experience with? I live in Parramatta so would be convenient if they were close by. Also, when I rev hard in my GTS-T, I hear a rattling noise....sounds like a loose bolt hitting metal, I've been told its my fuel pump but not too sure...thanks for helping fellas.

What ECU are you using?

using stock ecu

shit could be that severe? might have to go and do that then....

[Abo Bob]

Yes get it checked out straight away before you blow your engine.

Also have a bit more of a look around the NSW section as all the workshops hae been mentioned numerous times and we don't need yet another thread about it.

try hitman

[Blitz]

Its a standard ECU, he needs a competant workshop, not a tuner.

Head over to croydon, they will fix you up

advice taken, CRD are going to call me back to book a date to bring it in. Sorry about the thread i tried a search for "dyno" "tuner" etc. not much luck.

I spoke to my mechanic (very competant, always working on turbo imports especially skylines) and he is most definite that it is the fuel I'm using. My line is running BP Ultimate most of the time, other times its BP Unleaded, Shell Unleaded or Shell Optimax....could it possibly be that I'm using too many different fuels? or too much of the same fuel?

just gave hitman a call, he rekons i shouldn't be running anything less than 98 oct since fuel in japan is stronger. He recommended runing it till its empty, and then fill up full tank of ultimate, and if its still pinging to give him a call to book a tune. I think I might end up going with Hitman instead of CRD, did a search and most guys here have had good results from him, as well him being cheaper

I'll let yas know how it goes.

ALWAYS use 98 octane petrol - for the few cents per litre difference its not worth the hassle.

advice taken! I will do so, it all makes sense. since japan have stronger fuels, they are bound to build engines that corrospond to their fuels.

[lingeringsoul]

do you have hitman's contact details? email address? ph number? I need to call him as well for a tune......cheers

Ya

Since I got my car last year, ive always used BP Ultimate, untill there was the period where it ran out. I used Shell optimax. I felt the car running less power but more kms.

Since then ive always put in BP ultimate and never less..

So yea, if can afford a perfromance car give it the good juice!

check the noise isnt the timing belt or tensioner bearings..that can be very severe!!

[Staunch]

Problems sold, by CRD (wasn't bothered to go to penrith ). Main problem were the sparks. not sure exactly which ones my mechanic put in, iridium heat range 6 ones. after putting in the right ones, the boys at crd persisted to run the car again to see if there are any other problems and wa-lah everything was fine.

forgot to get the first run's readout but got the last. I can tell you that the first run showed a shocking curve...

car runs ALOT smoother now, and just feels healthier all round. Going back to get a Walbro installed (lazy pump was also revealed on the day), and might set the controller to around 10-12psi. cheers for the help fellas i'll post up again after pump.

[Duncan]

well make sure they put a fuel pressure gauge on and run it on the dyno after installing the walbro, they have been known to lean out at high revs.

[Staunch]

yes thats a great idea duncan will do, I'll also make sure they run a wire to feed the pump 12v.

btw....leaning out would mean it would be pumping TOO much fuel? thanks for help.

[Abo Bob]

Leaning out = not enough fuel = engine go bye bye.
