Hey all

I recently purchased a Power Fc for my r33 gtst just wondering where the best place in adelaide to take it to for a good tune would be. I tryed doing a search but nothing came up. I have heard from some the shaun from boost works is pretty good in this area. Has anyone had him do a tune with a power fc from here? Also roughly how much am i looking at for a decent tune im thinking bout $500-600 is this around the rite price?

cheers Allan :mad:

see above

Best bet would be to ask Shaun....Depends what u what sort of tune u want. A quick one with checking just the afrs is cheaper than a full tune...

haha now i dont know what to do because the people i was deciding between was donnon and shaun and both have been recommended lol. How much does donnon charge for a full power fc tune? and slimjim are you very happy with the tune? that seems like a pretty good price

cheers

I had my FC fully retuned by Shaun about a year ago! cost me just under the $400 mark, and that was a solid $200 cheaper than anywhere else i rang! I have since had 4 other close friends take their car there, and are also very happy with his work and price! TOP BLOKE very down to earth, and his dyno doesn't read 20-50kw higher just to keep the customer happy....... cough cough!

If you'd like change from your $500-600 go to Boostworx & if your not entirely happy with the tune & don't have a datalogit take it back. Shaun is more than willing to give it a blast around the block to fine tune it some more :kiss:. Like many others here there's nothing but, praise for Shaun & Troy's work.

I just had a full tune done there for PowerFC and the boost control kit, cost $440.
Not saying you'll get the same quote, but when I had the initial full tune w/ bigger injectors, upgraded AFM, fuel reg & re-do hi-lo boost settings it was around the same mark. Know for a fact another respected workshop, which I also go to charges quite a bit more to add extra boost settings & play around with fuel pressure etc.

well donnon has the full program i think on laptop all the data logic stuff

so being a quicker tune ie less time on dyno it should be cheaper but i think thet charge more for it lol

its by choice i think ive heard all good from both boostworx and donnon

33 GTST i think either tuner but if it was a GTR then donnon all the way

id much prefer a tune done with the logic programme such a more refined tune i had mine done and been sweet for 4 yrs

i think there is a better chance of a good tune done this way then sitting there all day punching in numbers in the hand controller

Cost ? well u get what u pay for i think any skyline owner has realised this by now

both are as much as each other i think just personal preferance

shaun has a datalogit. There is no difference in tune with either.

Quick tunes to check the afrs are fine if u are planning more mods down the track...

Yeah im after a full tune i dont think i want to spend any more on performance mods i just want to get my car running how it should with the HKS 2535 in it at the moment its just in R&R all the time so it should hopefully make a huge difference when the fc is in. Well i mite have to ring shaun havnt heard anything but good about him, his work and his prices :) Not sure if its been posted already but can some one please pm me or maybe post the boostworks number cheers

I took a freinds advice and thought i would try Martin.

my car looks identical to Martins r33 sedan.

He charged me $400 and said it was all good.

turns out i had lost 48 kws over my previous tune at hitek.

He blamed the fuel i was running, so he removed 5 degrees of ignition.

final result my car was 2 rwkws less then Martins car...

using the same BP98 i went back to hitek and payed $200 to get the power back

Go to shaun or John..

John has a newer dyno + the way its strapped on.

Shaun is a better tuner... and cheaper...

you decide

Ps. My freind that raved about martin also had his race car tuned the same day.

made 400 kws at the wheels wow...

grenaded 200 klm's later.....

its your call..

Yeah I've been driving with this tune for just over 2 weeks now, in real hot and cool weather too. It seems fine, and I know its a safe conservative tune too!

You won't be disappointed, and if you are, like its knocking etc, Shaun told me you can just pop in and he will fix the tune for you no worries. Too easy!

Sorry people, cause these figures are about 1yr old or 2yr.

Tilbrooks tune of power fc was $300 with Martin and Mick Stanic tune {2yrold} 299rwk

Manta racing {Steve takes it to willall, Peter Hall tune} $350 {1yr old} 292rwk better map

safer mixture{afr} with Peter Hall Tune for R32GTR

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
