Hi guys/gals

who is ur best tuner from ur experience? anything from remaping ur stock ecu, piggy bag and stand alone computer..

please stated ur set up (ur ecu and ur tuner)?

i'm thinking about getting my stock ecu remap with these mods:

- R34 turbo

- FMIC

- Walbro fuel pump

- 3inch turbo back with hiflow cat

- Manual boost cont (setting @ 13psi)

- Pod filter

will it be ok with remapping stock ecu or need an after market ecu? (i'm not gonna do any more engine mods, that's it!)

Cheers

graham west workshops adelaide!! they are top notch and have a 4wd dyno... rare to find in adelaide!! survice is 100% and they go out of their way to tix the little things withought asking and hardly charging!!!

peace

In sydney JIM from CRD is the only choice...

Adelaide Simon from Morpowa, or Tillbrook.

In QLD... well im yet to find some-one i trust.

Melb Racepace or CREATD and in 3months once my dyno arrives...me... :banana: shameless plug :angry:

If it's a remap then your options are limited straight away as not everyone can do them. Try unigroup at girraween, I've been told they have the nistune/plms gear so can real time tune your stock ecu.

A remap is fine, provided you get the right one. I would only recommend a tuner with real time tuning of the stock ecu, which in nsw seems to be very limited. DrDrift has a different version but unless he has someone full time based in sydney these days i wouldn't bother.

Everyone will offer their 2 cents in these types of threads. Sadly though, (me included) most of us wouldnt know a good tune from a bad tune, and some are too proud to admit that their tune is not perhaps great.

So i would recommend speakign to all the workshops mentioned and satisfying yourself that the people you are using are best for you.

Personally i would only use Quick Fit Motorsport in Hornsby (they looked after my R31 GTSX) or SAS who looked after my mates 200SX which had lots of Nizpro goodies. In both cases the tunes made good power and were reliable. A good tuner will be able to read big picture and only tune your car for what power level will be reliable. SAS can do the std ECU, only they are not cheap. When they were looking at my RB20 with the TD06 (when i lived in NSW) i was looking at about $1200 tuned

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
