Andrews tune is fine. AFRs perfect, timing is modest. Your opinion is out of spite, jealousy, and just general ass. You have no clue what you are doing or looking at regarding a tune anyway.

Also, Many tuners tune by ear when it comes to knock, I can name a number of highly regarded tuners in Mackay that do this. Its common practice. When making bulk power, then you have to be more careful and use specialized equipment. His car was too noisy up top so I kept the timing down until we can safely add more timing into it. It was his request, he was happy with that, and I did it for him. He just wanted to get it on the track and running safe.

I don't add timing how you do, and just select a square of cells in high revs and added a shit load of timing, took him for a drive while it made bulk power pinging its ass off to get him excited. As I said, over the past months I've had 3 separate people, one of them is a friend of yours, confirm this.

I've been tuning for nearly 10 years, never had a complaint. Also been approached by 2 shops and asked if I wanted work. But I'm not interested in taking it on full time.

P.S - I would never let you touch or tune a car of mine at all. I also wouldn't recommend you to anyone else. And definitely not with the dodgy attitude that you have.

hahaha u cant read can u... i never touched the tune on that motor, yet u continue to blame me ??

and tune by ear with knock hahahahaha if u can hear it knock its already too late and there is damage done.

also when it was in my car it never pinged at all, so i dont know where ur getting all this wealth of knowledge, must be off the toilet paper u wipe ur ass with.

my opinion is out of what ive seen.... that is truth.

Do I need to keep repeating myself too? Three sources confirmed it, one that happens to be a friend of yours, that said it was pinging its ass off when you took them for a drive. I even have the map to prove it...?? If you ran 20psi+ with this sort of timing, there is no doubt it would ping, and bad.

I've seen it with my own eyes too I guess.

Andrews car blows a turbo to manifold gasket, yet you carry on with your "opinion" that the tune is shit because it was laggy?? You must have rocks in your head. You really don't have a clue.

Also, you'll be the fool when Andrews car comes off the dyno and gets a good result. So carry on all you like.

its only ran 20 pound.... and how can 3 different ppl confirm something that never happend ?? u have 3 imaginary friends ?

and i wont be the fool when he finally gets a good result, he is the fool for getting u to tune it how many times now ??? which is a total of how many $$$$$$

im not carrying on because it was laggy. i was carrying on because it was running shit. and if u had a clue u would only need to have 1 go at tuning it and it would be done

No, real people I am afraid.

Tuned properly once. All other times shit went wrong with your awesome setup. Also a re-tune because he had to replace the defective turbo. Will be dyno'd when we get time.

It was running like shit yet you just blamed the tune even though you had no clue that the turbo to manifold gasket was blown? Real smart diagnosis there.

Oh, and here is some proof that you have no clue.

Here is a Vipec base map for the CA and SR. Very similar to the powerfc.

Here is the map I was given on a USB that came from YOU.

I've squared the section that you need to focus on. So what was going on in the 8,000rpm row? Missed a spot? just decided to run 14 degrees less in the last 1000 rpm? Real neat that. Nice transitions..

Few holes in it too by the looks.

This is why no one should ever listen to you regarding tunes.

Oh, and one more thing, Andrews car was also running bad because he was also blowing intercooler pipes off all day.

But, just blame the tune in your simple mind.

Edited by The Mafia

Its all good. The car blows gaskets and intercooler pipes, and without even looking at the car, you seem to know for sure its the tune. Goes to show how knowledgeable you are, and your problem with some jealous spiteful shit.

There is one thing I have learned over the years and that is:

Fighting between two people in this industry will get you nowhere. It's all heresay and bullshit mostly from both sides in most cases.

LET YOUR NUMBERS DO THE TALKING!

Nick, build a tough car

Jono, make the CA produce a tyresmoke show

At the end of the day, who gives a f*ck? I've had big name workshops rag me out to their customers and mine. sure, I've made mistakes...on cars and in business management in general. But we all learn from it and get better. You can't get better unless you make mistakes and learn from them. Getting into a war over it just leads to headaches and everyone looking stupid. Then when you build a car that runs an 8, everyone shuts the f*ck up.

What Dysonest said a few pages back was absolutely correct (and this is not directed at you Mafia) but both of you - let your customers toot your horn for you.

Now someone get me a frickin' beer!

I don't see a problem with showing a bit of confidence in what you do. If someone asks what your product is like, or if I am making a comment, should I say "Yeah, I dunno what they are like hey".

Yeah I make a point of 'no comment' when people ask about other workshops. It's just not worth the shitfight. We get lots of work that comes from other places and they might get some from us as well, I dunno. But defaming another person or business is just like punching on with family, pointless and irresponsible.

Unless your uncle is trying to crack onto your gf, then it's ok

I just do mine own work and don't pay no flamin mongrel to touch any of my cars except for 2 elite people in the business other than that you guys can bitch all you want at the end of the day i ain't gonna be your customer and i sure as hell don't want any customers from around this joint, and i don't care what people say about me as my car's do the talking for me. I don't have to go out on Thursday nights at the harbour to big note my crack to everyone, if you produce quality cars then people will wanna do business with you clear and simple it's not f**king rocket science. But i too have enjoyed the read :rolleyes: .

Ben i would love to see you troll down to the harbour on a Thursday night, so many people be droolin'

I used to draw to much attention when i had my R33 GTR cops would not leave me alone and i got sick of people leaning and sitting all over it and taking bullshit telling me how to modify my car when they themselves had not f**king idea about how a GTR works lol.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
