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

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
