Hi all,

My power Fc will be arriving in a week or two and im going to get it tuned straight away.

Who tuned your power fc?

I was thinking of going to Unique but i would like to see what other line owners have done.

Croydon is another option too.

What was the state of tune before you went?

Before and after results(including AFRs and RWKW)

I know price will be between 5-600 bucks.

CHEERS

u have so may options mate! CRD are the best, then theres the others such as unique, unigroup, hitman, advan, belgarage, rigoli..the list goes on..the cheapest u will get it done anywhere will be 500 and that will most likely be hitman in penrith. A tune netted me about 25rkws, but it really depends on how your ecu is performing atm. If its coping well with you mods, the gain will be less than somwhere whose ecu has hit R & R and is running bad afr's, timings out, etc, etc...ring around, but youll still be v happy with a tune, even if ur max power is'nt too much higher, as you will notice that your overall power, particualrly in ur midrange is a lot better.

:(

Unigroup gets my vote.

Was tuned but super rich @155rwkw when i dropped it off, no change in boost and power was up to 185rwkw when finished.

Final AFRs are between 11.9-11.6 between approx 4000-7000rpm, i asked for a rich safe tune which is what i got.

Hitman did my tune, he had my car for about 2.5hrs and did an excellent job, car now has 199rwkw with the standard stage one mods and i get 500km out of a full tank of petrol (was getting 350-400km max pre-tune).

Ontop of that he's a top guy, service was excellent. He gets my vote.

Another vote for matt...ie Hitman

He treats you more like a friend than a customer and his work is great with reasonable prices.

I remember a few years back when I went to his new location in Penrith...well new back then and we were bored and so he started to dyno things around the workshop like his Husqi dirt bike....

haha he even dynoed me.....I only managed 0. something hp :P

CRD is a bit pricier than other places, but I would have to say they are the best (That's what Jim does all day-tuning). The new guy at Bel Garage is pretty good himself.

My first tune was at unique motorsports tuned by Ben. I was running too rich and after having my car tuned at CRD and Bel, in comparison I can say the car was not smooth. It was smooth at the time as that was my first tune.

Unique

@ 14psi = 197 rwkw

@ 15psi = blew my turbo (they said the turbo could easily handle 15psi. Little did i know)

CRD

@14psi = 212rwkw

Bel

Whole new setup, so can't compare.

Ben from Unique Autosports tunes my car.

It's been retuned again since. Damn thing is perfect. He redid the profec B spec 2 boost controller too.

This stuff has been covered a few times, so do a search and you'll get some more info.

While we're at it though...

Mark at MRC in Castle Hill does my tuning. He's very knowledgeable and thorough with both tuning and mechanical work and just a downright nice bloke who takes the time to explain everything to you when he's working on your car. I highly recommend him...

Can't compare before and after as it was a new set up - but my car made 285rwkw @ 17psi with a nice flat AFR of 12 (as evidenced by anyone who was at the SAU dyno day last year).

I tuned my own Power FC....

Damn it was fun and it cost me a hell of alot less then $500.. I had to do it myself as i put the engine together myself too (except crank and pistons cos its a fully forged setup)

Only tuned it to 15 psi going to hire a dyno before i go to 25psi as i dont want to break any land speed records or the speed limit in the process :wub:

any others with a unigroup tune??

Mine goes in there friday - spoken with the guys there and they seemed to earn my business!

Yep. Yavuz does good work. My car has been going on their dyno fairly regularly over the last 3 years to check things are safe after mods were done and was tuned when i originally got my pfc about a 18 months ago, touched up when i got my cams, and then back on for a check at the end of last year.

Their prices are pretty good too.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
