CRD.

Here we go

I know CRD do great work, they have the track times and r.w.k.W figures to prove it.

Just don't go there expecting prices like 'Joe the mechanic' offers (u know what i mean), 'cause they have plenty of work due to their history and track record, so they don't need to be some 'bargain basement' workshop.

But then again, not everyones as broke as me :huh: =P

Just install the parts yourself, there's a DIY guide on pretty much all the parts you want installed. Then just spend the cash on the tune..

I recently installed Turbo ( hiflow) , fuel pump, Z32, injectors, PFC, Profec BII myself saved heaps of money. I'm hopeless with a spanner, Prolly took me 3 times as long as a normal person but still saved the cash and learnt heaps doing it.

kyle newcastle

he will install it all get it running give it a quick run on the road with the sniffer so you can drive it tp who you want to tune the bugger

probably save ya 800

either way you wont listen to me but in a years time buy me a beer when i told ya so!!!

Hi - cant speak for croydon ive never had anything done there - i recently however had NISMO FUEL PUMP-NISMO 600CC INJ-GTR FUEL RAIL-GTR IMPEDENCE MODULES-GTR INJ WIRING CARRIER-Z32 A/F METER-SPLITFIR COILS-TRUST TD05 TURBO- TRUST DUMP PIPE-NISMO FUEL PRESSURE REG-POWER FC+COMM-TRUST OIL COOLER ETC ETC fitted (to my rb25det) by Advan with brilliant results !! - a mate of mine who does a lot of rallying told me about a guy called paul fischer who was worth getting to tune as hes very good etc - it just worked out that he happened to be working at advan for a few months before moving to the states to tune over there - not wanting to kill an already 13 yo old car i asked for a modereate tune of just over 1 bar on hight boost & just under 1 bar on low ( i could have cranked it heaps but didnt see the point in a rear wheel drive car) - i ended up with a very respectable 332 flywheelkw & 260 rwkw - heaps !! - the car is now performing way beyond my expectations (doesnt struggle @ 160k's+ on the climb heading north from peat island toward gosford) also onboard a gtr style plenum & greddy profec spec b boost controller/bilstein shocks/tanabe springs/ front mnt-int-cooler/gtr rims/245-45-17 dunlop spec r treads etc etc etc - to answer the question i am personally happy with the result that i was given - there were no hidden costs to speak of - i did however nut out a plan on paper with peter from advan in relation to cost /versus/hours/labour etc & did source some bits prior & just handed them over in a box-Oh! one thing that i was determined to get right was the A/F RATIO which @ 11.7 is a great result - the highest knock sensor number ive detected on the power fc controller is 3 which is actually zero - as knock does not show on the controller until a number of above 35+ at least is indicated - all in all very happy & since this is the first time ive spent big $$ on power mods i couldnt be happier - there you have it !! - id be happy to have a chat with anyone whos thinking of going down a similar road as sometimes theres no better advice than speaking to someone with first hand knowledge- feel free to call me any time on 0414922209 - cheers malcolm :D - ps - considering all the power the fuel consumption is actually better as the a/f ratio was down around 10 before all the work - but hey! -who cares about fuel consumption in a rocket ship !!! :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
