i just called up a mechanic and said hes gonna charge me 750 for the wire up of my emanage (that i'm supplying) and 500 for the tune

1250 on top of the 600 i already paid for the unit. is this insane or fair???

ROFL! no

$500 for the tune is about average. $750 is way over price just to wire it in

the emanage is a full piggy back, not just fuel like a safc. You buy the harness adaptor and you dont need to touch a single wire, no cutting, just plug and play. If he's charging you to install it, he's on drugs, its practically the same as installing a powerfc.

The tune shouldnt be anymore than 500 for a basic setup (ie stock turbo @ 12psi, exhaust, FMIC etc)

i'd say he's tearing you a new asshole...

harness adaptor ftw! no where near that price... you could do it yourself for $200 with a generic adaptor & a lil know how.

Money for tune would only be right for drastic setup changes(much larger turbos, cams etc), otherwise I'd be looking elsewhere mate.

tenagah motor sport, i thought it was a bit much can anyone give me any names or places. i just want the install and a mild tune (stock turbz, FMIC , zorst 12-13 psi & Z32 afm) and where i could find a harness for an rb20

slide performance;

check the sau traders section (in the forsale section)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
