Well anyway back on topic...

Who does the tuning at BD4s, is it Tom or the other guy?

I just found out from my HK buddies that to get the HKS gear tuned it costs them almost $5,000AUD

They get some guy from Jun in Japan to fly over and do the tuning... imagine if that was the same here :(

Jim at CRD tuned my car, I found that the car had more torque off boost and less black soot build up on my rear bar compared to the previous road tune.

The car started pinging after about a 2 weeks (bad fuel?) and Jim spent about half an hour retuning it - at no cost – and it hasn’t pinged since.

I haven’t been to BD4’s

Pity your car wasnt ready to tune a few weeks ago Stan.

Just Jap had the owner of Autech Japan out here and he is an F-CON tuning guru.

now here's the question.

Was it bad fuel or a bad tune in the first place?

If it was just one batch of bad fuel, couldn't you put it back to the earlier/ better tune once you put new fuel in? Or was it tuned without sufficent margin for safety on the road, taking into account variable fuel, hot days etc.

Did you get a dyno graph from the first tune? what were the AFRs? How much base timing?

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
