It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Can anyone recommend a place to get a decent tune? I've heard to stay away from Monster performance.

I'm running Injen CAI, Kinetix V+ Upper Plenum & soon to fit an exhaust so i want to get a tune done before i go to Townsville in December to get the air/fuel ratio back to normal and a bit more power.

Thanks

Don't really think it will need tuning i had Injen CAI, Motodyne Plenum Spacer and Fast Intension Dual Cat Back Exhaust on my 350Z and i never tuned it and it ran awesome, i also had the rev-up engine in mine which has extra 15kw form factory dunno if that would have made a difference. It's not a Forced induction car so doing those mods will not have a huge effect on the power level and getting it tuned will not do a great deal for it.

This was my initial thoughts but i had a friend recomend get a tune after i do the exhaust. I have noticed since installing the CAI that my fuel is absolutely guzzling out :/

Mines decreased a lot, yes i pulled the MAF out of the stock intake and into the Injen system. Didn't have any problems though it was just straight plug in. I'm probably getting not even 500km off a tank now

dont buy a turbo skyline then :P

I could be wrong but I think Ben was talking about adjusting the AFM perhaps?

I know you could do this on the VL's

but if your dead set on getting a tune I think your better off waiting till you get to Townsville. There are a few workshops there that sound trustworthy, more then I can say for here

It's N/A bro. Yeah i think that's going to be the go i may just have to wait until then.

Not sure what you have done to it but i was getting 600-700kms out my Z when i had it 8.7L per 100kms in town/highway/thrashing it didn't matter.

Ahh really, that's roughly what i'm getting per 100km though. I will fill up tonight and do a test, all i do is to and from work and out to ooralea a bit.

Oh I just meant if your complaining about fuel economy now, dont get a turbo Skyline haha. I'm lucky to get 400km around town out of mine, but I think I have some issues at the moment.

Is your tank smaller then the 350Z's? Seems to be the thing most people forget about. Complain there only getting 400km around town but then only have a 40L tank.

Find someone with a standalone wideband and go for a drive with that hooked up. Will tell you how far out your cruise mixtures are.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
