as topic states, please let us know who u think is the best GTR tuner out there( its only a power FC, nothin special).

please note i do want to get my car tuned on a 4wd dyno, which will rule out a lot of ppl.

thanx in advance. ( i know this topic might have been done heaps, but i can not find any info)

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...

col, i did try to search but it came up with all sorts of things.

thanx for your info, i think i will give him a call and see what he can do for me. cheers!!

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.

yer there are lots of top notch mechanics out there

just got to know where to find em

there 1 i a million very hard to find one that does a decent job

i reccomend gavin wood as above hes great and im sure u know about matt spry. hes awesome if you dont mind paying

just be very careful cause alot of the time peoples recomendations can be very wrong, its not their fault, there just naive.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
