Looking For A Tuner

[grandmasterb]

Ok so im almost at the stage where my car will need a complete retune since being off the road for over 2 years

In its time off since the last motor let go a new fresher motor has been dropped in and a few more mods

What im after is an experienced RB/PFC tuner be it based in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane that would be willing to come to Tassie to tune the car to save me the drama's towing it to Melbourne.

I would pay airfares obviously (hell of alot cheaper than towing the car over) your time and if need be accomodation. I can organise the use of a dyno or track to tune which ever is preferred.

What im after is anyone that would be keen to do so and a rough per hour charge so i can start sorting things out.

The car/set up is as follows:

1990 R32 GTS-t

RB20 motor with stock internals

TD-06 20g L2 (10cm) - 47mm GReddy gate

HYBRID GT FMIC

HKS 264 cams

TOMEI 555 injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Z32

Just Jap oil cooler and relocation kit

APEXI power intake

PFC

This thread is purely to gauge interest if anyone (with relative experience) to tune the car that would be keen to come down, could maybe work it in as a little "see the Apple Isle" trip if keen

I know people will say its a long way to travel just to tune one car and that who ever does it would be loosing $$$'s but thought i would through it out there and see, you never know if you dont ask

Please reply/PM if you are said person

I'm tuning this exact same setup in a GTS4 next weekend actually.

drive up top or wherever that big ass boat leaves from. its like 120 for you and your car. get to the mainland and head for RE customs or racepace or similar

Look forward to seeing the results Jono, make sure you post them up

Your not keen on pro automotive then?

Because towing for 4+ hours, $600+ for the round trip on the boat with car/trailor, fuel, tune and staying over for the weekend would be pushing 2k

After talking with him no as i think i can get more out of the set up from another tuner

[ArBe20]

I reckon unbiased people like you who have worthy grounds to justify your reasoning are awsome, hard to find in Tassie these days.

Good luck with it.

Might be worth calling Jeff from The Speed Lab and put forward your request to him. He is an awesome tuner when it comes to RB motors. Plus i know theres a few other tassies who want work done by him so the trip could be justifiable.

Jeff's number is in my sig, he is based in SA.

Cheers cobber, Kuc helped me with my old Nissan powered Datto and also did the tuning and i was very happy with the results given what he had to work with

After talking with him about my set up neither of us felt completely confident that we could attain the results im looking for but who knows how things will end up, if i cant find anyone keen i will more than likely let him run wild with it.

Hey Simon

i spoke with Jeff a couple of times last year and found him very helpful but have since decided to go with the PFC and do away with the remap from Dr Drift.

Cant hurt to give him another call though but im not sure how many of the other guys would be requiring tuning work form him as most have switched to PFC and sought tuning from GT Garage

Cheers Ben

what are the results the others guys cant attain that you are hoping for i play with loads of L2's... pm is fine.

It wasn't so much the use of the L2 it was using the cams i've chosen and the tuner recommending not running them but run cam gears instead. Main reason behind this i believe is that he's spent more time tuning with cams gears and not cams as he pointed out it could take some time.

Im hoping for around the 220/230rwk mark but hopefully with the cams helping boost come on a little earlier. Im not really looking for a magic number as such, but better drive ability with a good curve that i can overlap with driving the car on the road/track without being too aggressive and just winding more boost/timing to do so

The old set up (prior to cams, injectors, Z32) it was pushing 205rwk at 14psi but given the size of the housing it was a little laggy but LOVED to rev

[Simon-S14]

jeff does PFC's nowdays too.. pretty much everything, not just remaps

Ah ok, i'll give him a call and see if he's keen at all.

Have heard from another fella from Melbourne that is keen to come over and check out Tassie's scenery

[VB-]

try chasers motorworks too. i think one of the tuners from there goes to dubai n shit to tune, so tassie might be an option

Hey Jono

how'd it go with the tune in the end on the GTS4, what were the results???

Cheers Ben

[The Mafia]

hey mate, still haven't finished it as the owner like to do things a little slow. Going well, but it needs a new fuel pump. AS soon as he gets one in and I've fully tuned it I will let you know.

get a few together and i would consider coming down with my dyno (hire a europcar 1tonne truck) it only needs 240volts so can even be run in a carpark or driveway

if i could cover the boat, the truck and dinner at the steak house i would be happy. Individual tune prices could be worked out at a special rate if you got enough. we would leave fri and return monday.

i have to do a similar thing in sydney for a few Drifters.

cheers Trent

[mattysaidso]

coming to brisvegas by anychance trent?

[R31Nismoid]

Ben surely you could config the PFC enough to get it running on a Z32 and injectors, enough to drive it over to the buckets of tuners here.

They would even no doubt help you over the phone to set it all up would be my thinking

Sounds alot like me

I'll make sure i keep my eyes out for the results

Hey Trent,

thanks for the offer, i'll see what we can work out with getting some numbers together.

Only problem with that is the car isn't road registered at the moment and if i had to tow it over then like i previously said it would be 2k+
