Ordering a slide hiflow turbo soon, and anticipate that i'll need to do some AFR correction on the dyno to get the most out of it. I see chiptorque offers a re-chip + dyno tune for around $1k, but i was wondering if there's anywhere else around that offers the same service?

Some posts suggest that dr drift is a good alternative but dont know when he'll be in bris next.. i want to get something done soonish.

Would anyone suggest that i just go with a apexi safc or something so any tuner can tune it? would it offer similar flexibility/performance?

any help appreciated, chris.

i notice rb25's are not listed on their site for retunes (mercury...).....that sucks!

In fact they CAN do an R34 rb25, but not an r33. Depends on the ECU of the car model, rather than the engine itself.

From above link:

CA18, RB20, RB26 $330

SR20 – S13, GTIR $450

S14 $550

S14a, R34, S15 $660

I know some people have good experiences with dr drift and factory ecu tuning at mercury but unfortunately I fall into possibly the few number of people who had nothing but troubles with mercury and their dr drift tuning of the factory ECU. Personally I wouldn't recommend wasting time with the factory ECU, invest in a decent aftermarket ECU, I know it's more expensive but considering the dyno time that ended up wasted for me, if I had gone the aftermarket ECU straight up i would have saved alot of money.

Not bashing mercury here, I know they do good work for people but I had nothing but troubles. PM for any details if interested.

Cheers

Mercury have tuned mine and i am really happy with it. My car is now my daily driver, is great around town and does 11's down the quarter. I will upgrade to a Z32 afm soon and will take it to them for a retune for more power. In MY personal experience with engine management I would NOT be recommending aftermarket management. :D

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
