hungry6...have heard good things about CNJ motorsport as well (although I didn't go there)...

I was quoted $550 - $650 for tuning -> that is always only for full throttle tune and everyday economy WILL be crap. But most tuners can fix that up with road tuning, albeit for another $50 - $100.

they will all say heaps of time 'plugging in numbers with fussy h/c' (about $150 of cost)

If you want PM me you details and I can do base map with you.

It does...except the base maps (fuel and ignition) are quite far from idea (even more than the standard computer). E.g. at full load it runs as rich as 9.5:1...and you'll have difficulty getting more than 250km out of a tank.

Before taking it to a mechanic, you can fix most of the map so that the mechanic doesn't have to spend another 1.5 hrs changing the numbers to more ideal ones (which he will fine tune on a dyno anyway)...could save you some money

Hahaha.. Good one Wayne.

He pays us nothing to spread the word. He knows how to deal with customers and he knows his skylines. That's all I need. Customer satisfaction and a mechanic that knows what he's doing.

Best business is word by mouth. He doesn't like to blow his own horn.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
