I'll put a vote in for gavin woods @ auto tech on the gold coast especially with the power fc's also uses a new dyno dynamics all wheel drive dyno he got 260 all wheel kw's out of my 34 GTR @ 1 bar boost only has power fc, exhaust , apexi air filters , HKS cam gears and a trust intercooler, he is very professional highly recommanded

Chapman & Chapman!

He road tunes but many have had there GTR's modded to all kinds of levels, tuned by other shops on a dyno to get a good looking result but it actually feels very average on the road.

I know of a couple of people on this forum that had this experience and went to see Andrew Chapman and left the workshop with a well tuned car and a slight power increase accross the rev range.

Hi Frankxy,

Try C&J motorsport (32903966), I know they have a 4wd dyno. I have see couple of cars they have looked after and their customers were always happy.

I don't know how offen they do GTRs but if you ask bill he will be able to either tune it or point you in the right direction. They are very honest pple to deal with.

I did laugh about the search link...

You should try that first...

Anyways to help out id contact Matt Spry as he has borrowed the dyno at gavin wood's before to tune 4wd cars...

But if you want I personally think Gavin Wood would be the best tuner round seq with a 4wd dyno...

just out of curiosty, do you guys recommand Godzilla just because Mark has a 9 sec GTR?? has anyone actually got any work done by them at all??

after what happened to me, i dont think i will be too keen on bringing my car there again.

Yeah im not to sure about Godzilla motorsport, ive only heard a small handful of people that rate him.

Mate give Paul Masterson a call 3352 5155 very good tuner, was telling me he was getting a FWD dyno he should have it set up by now. He is located at Stafford.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
