14.7 is the theoretical perfect afr

13.8 is generally the actual best for performance

U turbo guys run richer for safety, although unless something happens and he leans out further, it shouldn't kill his engine.

and 800+nm of torque is very possible, gear ratios multiply torque.

So say we he has a diff ratio of 3.8, and the 800 was measured in a gear with a ratio of 1:1. That results in 800/3.8 so 210nm of engine torque.

For the past year or so i have been taking my car to EAS Performance, address is Victory Str, Airport West. Speak to Vic on 93302001, he is a pretty much a straight shooter. In my experience i have been pretty satisfied as he has guided me on what to and what not to do to the car. Most theoritical statements he made of preformance enhancements has been spot on when put to practice. Tell him Alan sent you (if you decide to contact him)

I will warn you now, the w/shop is not a display case. It is a functional shop to complete mechanical repaires/mods. The first time i walked in i almost walked out, but he was very helpful and willing to explain and answer any quires. And after talking to him for 1-2 hours i was confident that he knew his stuff, i have never looked elsewhere since. Just a note, he uses the dyno at the w/shop next door.

I know this sounds like i am affeliated to the business but i am honestly not. I have seen cars from discruntled customers from other w/shops bring their cars back to EAS, after being butchered.

Some of whome are mention above.

What you decide to do is up to you, good luck and i truely hope you find someone that will look after your baby!

PS: What does your car look like as i live in Delahey and wouldn't mind hooking up for a cruise.

My mate grets his car tuned at eas ,Its a blue vl calais (STOCK6) they do a okay job but i think there expensive.Anyway my car is a black 33 gts-t with 17inch sparco's (black with red dish) fmic with a cut up bumper,also not lowered.

Also about tunning my car for cruise ,Its my dads car during the day he drives it to work till he buys a new car.he took of today After i gutted the cat (***D)and it broke traction at about 40km and drifted !!,he shit and backdoff .lol

AH, i know Frank, have a chat every time i meet him at EAS. My car is pictured to the left, it's burgundy with 19" rims, a fmic and personialized plates. My bumper is also cut up, but i got it plastic welded to look stock and not get hassled by cops.

I think they are fairly resonable, but sometimes you have to pay for a neat and carefully thought through job.

Anyway hope to see ya around, and wave us down if ya see me.

C YA!

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
