also the figures different dynos give can be different.

your guys dyno could be reading high thats why alot of the guys who came to the vic sdu dyno day said thier cars were making 180-190 rwkw on this dyno then they come to our dyno day and only make 140-150.

if the sydney guys have a dyno day then you can compare.

also the air /fuel ratios are important.

ask yourmechanic if he has a reading.

any dyno operator can have your reading 500kw@wheels if they wanted to! i think when u got your car dynoed the first time they bull****ted u man!!

especially with stock comp and rich a/f ratios its impossible!

A guy with a r33 brought his dyno chart to the last melbourne dyno day, after he got his unichip done saying 194kw@wheels. but when he got it dynoed at the day he got 155kw@wheels!

:uh-huh:

Yes my so called Unichip tune wasn't actually that in tune was it, however he will be fixing it this Sat, and if he can't for some reason then I'll get my money back. So I might be back to check up on his work.

what did the guy have to say when u showed him the graph from the SAU dyno day? did u ask him where your extra 40rwkw's had gone?

As I don't live in Melb I haven't shown him yet, he assured me that there's no way he would have left the A/F ratio at 10:1, so believe me come Sat I'll be sticking around watching his every move making sure he gets it right this time.

y dont u get a s-afc or power fc instead of the unichip?

S-AFC - Only intercepts & allows fuel map changes, it doesn't do timing as per the PFC or UC.

Power FC - Costly even @ $1200 for the Power FC add ~$400 for tuning, compare this to a Unichip $1100 fitted & tuned (this is what I paid). Without a doubt the PFC is the better option as reflected by the higher price.

Unichip - IF, & it's a big IF! The UC is correctly installed & tuned then it WILL provide repeatable rwkw gains. My Unichip was able to provide tuning for over 215rwkw (this kind of figure was repeatable on more than one dyno) I also managed the 1/4 time in my sig' with the UC running the show. The power curve & A/FR's were both very smooth & consistent.

BUT...... It took a good tuner who was familiar with both the UC & the RB25DET to get the results! The original installer did a very poor effort @ tuning it. Even the best ECU isn't much good if it's poorly tuned.

Once you start aiming for over 220rwkw the UC "may" have trouble overcoming the stock ECU's AFM over voltage timing retard. This is the exact reason I decided to get the LT12 Microtech, however it "may" be possible to make 220+rwkw with the UC & get a decent power curve, I just wasn’t interested in stuffing around trying to find out!

I think people shouldn't take their dyno reading to personally. A dyno is to tune the car. I've seen some cars sive different reading on the same dyno's.

My one had about 160kw at the rear at Hills and 180kw on 4 wheels on croydon's dyno. :confused:

Yes as Whatisname said it all comes down to cost, I paid $500 for the Unichip and $300 for the so called tune! Now with the SAFC I'd still have to add an ITC to get the same tuning features as the Unichip, which would throw it way over the $800 mark. Now that I've got the Unichip I'll try and get it right, if I can't then sure I'd consider an SAFC, time will tell.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
