Dr Drift has a really good rep on here and is known around the scene as one of the better people for tunning the stock ecu on your skyline. He can adjust your standard computer to get better throtle response, better economy and more power using the mods that you have to the best of their ability.

I am trying to put together a group of people here in Canberra to do a day of tunning sessions with Dr Drift.

Is there any interest out there?

Check out his sight at DR Drift

CEF11E does them locally so maybe that's why there's not much interest.

Well. Seeing as how I'm not getting any interest for Dr Drift I'll change tack.

Who has had CEF11E tune their car and what sort of results did it get? How long did you spend on the Dyno?

Hi All :laugh:

Firstly let me inform you all that by no means am I a professional tuner. and do not wish to take any business away from those that are such as Dr Drift or Jeff from speedlab. I have developed my interest and skills in tuning from my own desire to learn and a few years of practical experience.

I have a technical computer background and spent a few years developing single board computers and industrial appliances for the Australian industry and learned all about programming and EPROM's so naturally when i bought a car the first thing i would do would be pull the ECU apart and find out what sort of smarts it had and would read the ignition and fuel maps. I had also been modifying performance cars for a few years and had developed a good sound mechanical knowledge.

So I decided to seek the skills of a professional tuner to teach me the ropes and ins and outs of tuning turbocharged engines. I hung around for about a year and was involved in the tuning of mainly RB powered cars. during this time I was always fiddling with my own car and always on the quest for more power. Interest started to develop from friends and I started to tune their cars. I have been doing this now for 2 years and have had no disasters and excellent results. I do not push a tune to the limit to squeeze every kilowatt out, rather develop a progressive and responsive smooth tune throughout the entire rev range not just WOT that many seem to do.

I currently have a R32 skyline with an RB20det producing 240odd rwkw and it retains full factory idle and fuel economy. it also looks dead near standard. I am happy to talk to anyone that is interested in having their car tuned and I will give you my honest opinion about what is the best option, your power goals and expectations.

I can give some numbers but really only from my own car. I have tuned ECU's for forum members but have not recorded who they are but if they are kind enough to post up some results i would be grateful.

CeJay will be getting his car tuned when and if the new turbo will be going on and i am sure he would be happy to share his results when finished. I have also recently done a mail order tune for Haysey so pm him and see what he has to say :laugh:

I am not a non profit organization :) but am not really in it for the money either so at this stage if you wanted a tune done by me you would be paying $150 for the time it takes plus dyno time at the rate of $100 per hour ( I do not profit from this you can book the dyno and meet me there) I have been getting a lot of inquiries since the power fc has stopped production in certain models.

I have the facility to map trace, datalog and everything needed to to a correct and safe tune.

I can tune anything from completely standard cars to bigger turbo, injectors, AFM, cams, larger capacity, nitrous and more. usually most remaps are mild upgrades as people that tend to rebuild with forged bottom ends and cams usually want to splash out and get an autronic.

Thanks for reading!

Please be aware that I do not tune R33 skylines due to the chip the ECU uses to store the maps. I do not have the equipment to tune R33's.

I can remap RB20DET RB26DETT RB30E VG30DETT VG30DET VG20DET CA18DET.

I have one of ceffies chips in my RB20, have done for about 8 months now. It was tuned to my cars specs on info i gave him, have had the car on dynos (for the purpose of monitoring A/F ratios only) and have not had a single problem. Except now i need a diff. Mine wasnt done on a dyno but i'm more than happy with the tune.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well i've bitten the bullet and am now getting the injectors added and the boost control hooked up so i'm booking a tune with CEF11E. I'll post the results and before and after dyno sheets up here once it's done.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
