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..

Darren

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!

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
