Where do you guys think i should go to get my safc II installed and tuned, as well as some other fine tuning? At CRD or hitman?

CRD is closer for me, however, when it comes to safc's i have heard hitman is the way to go. So, i am just seeking some of your combined wisdom here guys...

i have heard great stories about both and obviously their rep is fantastic, so i will have no problems giving either one my business...

i say get he best of both worlds and go to CRDMAN. or HITRD.

seriously, all this thread is going to give you is 10 guys posting saying "I went to hitman and it was great" and then 10 more saying "I went to CRD and they were great".

you could save all the hassle and just do a little search in NSW section, or just ring them both, get a quote, get a feel for them and then pick one.

can i ask why not get full management?

i always wonder why when i read a thread like this about getting an expensive professional tune for a halfway decent result

i can understand wanting to spend the dosh on someone like CRD or hitman if you were going with a PFC or silmilar but i put little weight on just how expensive and overboardf a tune should be for a safc

this is not an attack on you or anyone else with a safc just trying to understand

automatic transmission jimbo, otherwise it would have been pfc. afr's are very rich so i thought why not fix that with the tax return money

beer baron, now the reason why i put a thread about this on here is because maybe someone, or knows of someone, that had a problem when tuning (even though it would be unlikely as these workshops are of high quality)

so better check all my bases first, just in case...

just getting some opinions on here as well...isn't that one resaon why these forums exist?

yeah true. it is one of the reasons the forums exist. It's just that we get one of these threads every month or so, so the most recent one would hardly be out of date, and the opinions will just be a representation of people on the forum. same as this one.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
