Steve at manta racing[ richmond ]. He 's booked out for the next 2 week's though. He will more than likely do it at willall racing's dyno with peter hall :(

Manta racing I believe don't have their own dyno. They send the cars over to 'I believe' Willall Racing.

Personally I believe its an added liability having your car driven to and from a workshop for a tune.

Please do correct me if I am wrong as I may very well be. :)

But either way my vote goes to Shaun @ Boostworx. My loyalty has always been with Shaun and in return he looks after myself and doesn't charge the earth.

He's a top bloke thats down to earth and not full of him self.

Northern side of town. I would have to say Tilbrooks, BUT I would only have Tim Possingham (if he's still there) tune mine.

They do charge quite a bit more; DO make sure you get a solid written quote and make it very clear they are to call before performing any work that will blow out the price.

Both Tilbrooks and Boostworx have the Datalogit so there's no issues there.

Another bloke that appears to be on the pulse is Graham West Performance Marion Road. They too have a datalogit.

Got a quote to retune the Stagea awd rb25det auto with the highflow turbo, for the safc II and the sitc piggybacks.

Has been tuned twice before at Graham Wests - Im sure now that I definately paid for too much time (lol at 5hrs dyno time plus setup fee).

Got quote from Wests, then got quote from John at HiTech Dyno. HiTech were under by well over a hundred dollars, including dropping the driveshaft for the rwd dyno (Wests have a 4wd dyno), so thats where I'll be going soon for the final tune. Steve (Pixl8r) reports a good experience with HiTech hence my decision to get a quote from them.

hmmmmmm, perhaps I should get a quote from Boostworx ? :huh:

If your running an SAFC I would think 1-2hrs absolute max.

So the tune shouldn't cost much more than $250.

Exactly, as I NOW know. Didnt know any better one year ago - hence why I never queried the 5hours charge time from GWW. Still not happy about the overcharge although the tune wasnt toooo bad. Meh.

Quote from John at Hitech was for a max of 3hr tune, said he'd do it quicker then that tho; seems honest enough to me.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
