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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
