I'm going to BD4s to get my F-CON tuned... basically I have no choice but to go there as they are the only ones in Australia who can tune it :)

I've been in heaps of contact with Tom there and I'm happy to say that he'll give you all the time in the world with questions etc. Very nice guy to deal with.

My tune is on June 22, hope it goes well! Looking close to a $2k bill though :)

Hey thanks for that Stan. BD4s would be good coz i live in the next suburb. Are they considered pricey, do they insist on using HKS stuff or can you supply your own stuff?

Oh and anyone used MRT performance, i know they do amazing stuff with evos - anyone with a skyline use them?

Thanks

I'm supplying all my own gear bar one or two harnesses that I can't get myself. As for the HKS comment, then it's up to interpretation... they are the authorized HKS dealers in Australia so I would assume they'd be trying to push for their items being used :)

I wouldn't say that their pricing is expensive, it's just on par with all the other names out there.

Well according to HKS USA both places are still authorised dealers, but BD4s is also a Pro Dealer, which means they have access to the tuning software for the F-Cons.

I've had a car tuned @ BD4s, they were on the level with me and pretty helpful. But your best bet is to talk to both of them and see who you're happiest with.

Just thougt I might add that Performance Wholesale will direct you to BD4s for all F-CON enquiries... BD4s have access to information on that product that no other place in Australia will have - that's coming from another dealer so I guess it can be taken as true!

Anyone had any experience with either CRD or BD4s in Sydney for a R34? Do they only use expensive brand name stuff or is better to go to small tuner? This would be for minor mods - basically keeping stock turbo.

Anyone use Bankstown Muffler fit as well?

Thanks

What engine management are you using?

Talk to both and use who you are happy with. nNver used CRD, but did use BD4s for a good many years and whilst owning 3 Nissans,

They were a very professional, honest workshop, who did not take short cuts and where good mechanics as well as a good performance workshop.

have found so many performance places arent the best mechanics and only know how to half heartedly throw crap on cars in the hope they go quicker and fingers crossed dont blow up...forget fault finding, servicing etc to get a good reliable car

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
