A Good Story About A Mechanic, For A Change

[Sarumatix]

I'd just like to take the time to thank all the fellas at Racepace for spending the time to fix my car . Car has never run as well before, sooo happy with how it's running! I had a problem with really high idle, I knew it had something to do with the idle control valves but daren't touch them on an RB26 caues the plenum is in the way. They took the manifold off and then the control valves but there was nothing wrong with them, but they had the sense to test the powersupply too! This turned out to be the problem. I enjoy driving the car so much more now . Cheers fellas!

By the way, I got some gauges fitted and they found and rewired a sender unit for an air/fuel gauge. I presume the car had the guage once (it has a gauge holder) but was taken during compliance or something. The box is sort of tan or beige with "GReddy Air/Fuel Data Link Sender" which looks similar to the pair of GReddy warning guages had installed for oil press and temp. On the back it has "NAF03960". Where would be a good place to ask about precisely which guage belongs with that sender? I presume it is one of these: http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/greddy/gauges.html but maybe it is something older?

yeah i have never heard bad reports from racepace, those guys and CREATD are the only places i would ever consider.

[femno]

I had my tune done there, the car has been super quick with no issues ever since.

They got it right the first time which many cant do.

[KURAUN]

Good to hear a good story for once. Sick of seeing attacks on workshops (particularly on other forums).

is it possible to tune a car with a stock ECU?

do they do general check-ups or are they just performance/modifcation orientated??

[R31Nismoid]

You cant tune a stock ECU.

Only the base timing via the CAS sensor on the front of the engine can be "tuned" as such.

And thats a 2-3min job.

[SS8_Gohan]

so when someone says, without an a/m ecu, i think me car needs a tune, what the hell are they referring too??

like the ultra tune mob will advertise an EFI tune, etc...

[Jetdat]

they might refer to changing spark plugs and doing a major service as a tune up..

as Ash said you can only play with the CAS on the cars with standard ECUs..

years ago when my car was standard, i did have racepace Benno fiddle with the CAS on the dyno, with new plugs, the car went from 145rwks to 165..

so in my case it was well worth the dyno time, obviously reacted to the adjustment for one reason or another..

That's true.

Racepace are great but i feel intimidated going there.

With all the monster GTR's left,right and centre my nimble R32 gtst doesnt belong there

Without going into too much detail SS8_Gohan, i think they specialize more into heavy modifications instead of regular checkups.

but i could be wrong Wouldnt mind being proven wrong

No,

They do regular check up as well, things like before you go tracking.......drag......etc but yeah regular check up can be done pretty much by any recommended work shops and for references, beside from Racepace, we also go to Recustoms.

Ultra Tunes are specialise in tunning FORD and HOLDEN, those cars are EFI equiped :laughing-smiley-014: !
