Try Ric Shaw Performance. Dad (Bonkers) has had very good things to say about Ric. See this thread for more details

I will be taking my car there as soon as I get an issue sorted with it.

If you live at noosa though how come your getting car tuned in sydney?

Dan.

my car is down there now alllready and it is hard tryin to find some1 reputable up here.

I am pretty sure i am gonna get croydon racing development to tune it. they have years of experience with tha power fc

hope u bring ur check book though! my friend supposably was getting his car tuned their for $140... but his car wasn't boostin properly and they had to use a few cable ties to secure the vacum lines (his gts-t s2 got 156rwkw @ 12psi with dumpy back exu & filter is that normal?)....well any way 40mins later when he had to pay they said that'll be $375!!!!.....a bit david jones for mine maybe they jus saw us comin?or may be thats why they changed their names from " croydon autowroughts"... to croydon racing developments.

There are lots of recommendations for tuning and other work - but let's just say I'd never go to any place that change their pricing (much) from their original quote... esp. not $140 -> $375.

Put it this way, I paid $1,000 (for example) to change a turbo and things went up shit creek but it still ended up costing me $1,000 even though I wasted a lot of peoples' time and patience.

I got told on avg it tends to be $600 for a full days work. They empty the fuel tank and fill it with fresh fuel. THey then check all the hoses for vaccuum and ic pipes check plugs and make sure right heat range gaps etcc and just generally go over the mechanicals 2 check evrythin b4 they even start it on the dyno. Then when tuning they don't just change af ratio they can change just about every parameter the power fc offers with the laptop software they use, rather than just stuffin round wit a commander =P

I don't mind paying for quality work

I will let u know how it goes

:Pimp:

You're kidding yourself if you think there are lots of tuners who have the Apex'i software.

Datalogit? Maybe... but not the full on Apex'i licensed software.

I'm not willing to do a full on dyno tune until I'm COMPLETELY finished with all engine mods.

And at this junture I need close onto $3,000 to finish everything off, so hopefully not too far now :(

T.

The power fc commander is exactly that... a commander... you can change evey parameter in the computer that is required for tuning the car that it is designed for, which I believe is some 800+ parameters.

Croydon is not my choice as for the money they charge I can get my car tuned twice at Ric Shaws, and I have heard and seen similar results from both.

that power figure seems low, but then, the dyno settings may have been set to abnormal conditions, or maybe it has a monster torque curve instead :(

ed,

Your power out put is proportional to the amount of boost you run mostly. If it has a power fc the it will manage the engine a bit better and can be programmed to give more fuel change timing etc to gain a little more power. If it had a power fc then probably a mark of 175-190rwkw depending on condition of other engine parts and connections etc.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
